The 'Kemble Grand Tour' is round the corner from you. Ideal opportunity to meet IS-F drivers and cars.

Oh ok, sound, I'll take a look at the thread.

There might even be a nice  white one for sale on the day 

As much as I'd love a 2013 ISF, I think that'll be pushing my budget a little to far?! I do really like white too.

This is the cheapest ISF I've seen advertised: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201710039928585?sort=price-asc&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=New&model=IS F&radius=1500&make=LEXUS&postcode=wa158ny&advertising-location=at_cars&page=1

Ratty told me that 2 inches is all you need.

Back to garages, just build a new one over the weekend.

You can't convince yourself to work overtime this once?  It's for a good cause

Excellent thread digression as normal for this place   For the OP what's the budget?

Currently, my rather old and rusty [I prefer the word 'patina'] E36 328 is sat at a garage awaiting someone to figure out why she wouldn't start Friday night...not the best way to begin the weekend!

As the car isn't exactly worth a lot, if the bill to fix her is close to what she's worth, is it now time to start the ISF search? :)

Part of me want the BM back on the road as I don't want to rush finding the perfect ISF, but as I've been driving the same car for the past 8 years, I am looking forward to getting a new car!

Sorry? IS-F? Not a car I'm familiar with.

[Warrington guy]

Chuckle478. It's against our religion to work weekends 

[Big Rat]

@Chuckie478 The thing is Colin I don't need to do weekends I send in the help 😁

Yeah that one's been discussed before. High mileage, lots of stone chips, not sure how long the seller has owned it.

Plenty around. Looking at higher mileage one at that sort of money. Having said that they carry the miles very well.

Guess it depends on what you call high mileage.  There's a 2010 one on Autotrader for £21k with 66k.  There's 5 or 6 which are under the £20k budget (with some slight man maths involved).

[Big Rat]

I thought that Scottish Silver one seems good value, if your prepared to travel, I know I was when looking with so few cars available at anyone time you have to be prepared to put yourself out.

After all if it's M3 C63 there's a sea of choice at dealers but hey who wants to buy an inferior car cough....cough... 😏

Agree. I guess my view is based on the fact that I'd like a lower mileage example as mine is now at the grand old age of 55,000 

[Warrington guy]

Big rat. Totally agree the silver one on for 15k looks a cracking deal , mileage is right too . Well worth a trip to see it

@Flytvr Maybe should consider a nice White one that might be coming on the market it's very fit youthful and perfectly cared for just like it's owner, the only minor blemish is there is a faint aroma of tetley's beer in the boot. 

That be can rectified quite easily with a few slabs of Guinness, what say you @Warrington guy Dave 😊

[Warrington guy]

Pity it doesn’t have a red interior, he would love then. 

[Mark G]

You must be able to find something for 20k surely...........

Don't bother trying to find a blue one, they command a big premium for obvious reasons........................

[Warrington guy]

Mark g it’s not anything to do with wheel nut is it ..

I am now convinced that ISF owner are................... how can I put this without offending anyone.......................

You're probably right whatever you're thinking 😆

[Spacewagon52]

Yes ..... I am afraid I am! 

 

Read TOP GEAR magazine in Sainsburys today (too tight to buy it!) And they were testing probably the very last V8's being manufactured. Corvette, Maserati BUT Lexus LC500 WAS the best! Would love that 5 litre V8 ....... but NOT in an ISF!

[Warrington guy]

Newt wrong with ISF owner . You need to attend a few meets and see for yourself

Well now you mention it I think that missing wheel nut may have unsettled the car slightly and slowed me down....................................
