GY08GBE but I know the new owner but his private plate on it and I haven't a clue what it is now. If any of you lads are thinking of selling....... don't!!!!! I regret it and wish I still had it. 

@finchy40 Gary she is a beauty I can see why you feel that way, I didn’t have you ‘x’ on my list I’ll add her now I really appreciate that.

And for sharing the pictures go on get yourself another !

[finchy40]

Yep that's the one. Seb was the guy I dealt with at Edinburgh.

it was a beautiful car...... hopefully still is. 

[finchy40]

Big Rat. I would but I think I'd be disappointed after the one I had. It was spot on and doubt there are many around that could live up to it.

@finchy40 Gary yes to find another Red couldn’t agree more, thanx to you I’ve got all the info on the remaining Mesa cars.

If you did want to get yourself into another but a different colour there are still some fantastic condition ones out there 👍

[finchy40]

Big Rat. I'd love to see the info on the mesa reds if you can let me have it. 

[Big Rat]

@finchy40 Gary I’ll put it together and do a thread for you in the next few days 👍

Small world. I'd dealt with Seb a couple of times. He left earlier this year.

Hilux are expensive and hold they're money well so I'm not surprised. Lot of Navaras are snapping in half 

At the risk of going off topic this is my idea of a proper pickup and would love one from Oz. Still a V8 but diesel unfortunately.

A 70 double cab, definitely would like one.... I'd swap my old range rover for that any day..

Could this be the messa red isf from the "stolen in Manchester" thread? Similar part of the country? 

 

[s_a15]

If it was the stolen one, let's hope it was the thieving scum that were involved in the crash and not the owner....

[Big Rat]

@s_a15 As you know I was aware of that incident but there is no registration number to be had so I was unable to make the link, perfectly plausible though.

@JonP Have a search in youtube for landcruiser Fraser Island Australia if you have a spare couple of hours lol

Nooooo!!!!!

There are only 7 Mesa red ISF's????

Does that make mine more valuable now??lol

I'd be interested to know the history of the red cars too as I'm not sure how ratty does it but I've struggled to find much info on mine

Yep, and faster too. They call it “supply and demand”........😉

[Big Rat]

@s_a15 It’s not the Manchester dealers car the boss has still got his.

Big Rat

[s_a15]

How did you get that piece of information?! I don't live too far from said dealer and I didn't know that!...Saying that, I have never seen a messa red ISF in person, apart from one lexus Manchester sold a while back so perhaps he only uses it on special occasions!

Did spot an ultra blue ISF being driven like miss daisy was behind the wheel as I was coming out of Stockport lexus a couple of weeks back, the driver must have heard me the way my brakes are squealing on my GSF! Having my pads de-glazed by lexus on Monday to try and solve the issue 

[Big Rat]

@mike m Yep my wife goes quiet as well  when she gets into the passenger seat of the 'F' with me says a little prayer crosses herself and then puts her hand close to my gentleman vegetables snd says very authoritatively "Now were not going to hurt each other are we "

😂😂😂

I remeber that meet at bluewater, i had a good chat with Gary @finchy40. I had my white ISF then. I loved his cars exhaust note and had a little spin in it.

I wasnt a fan of messa red till i saw his. 

[Big Rat]

@Ace8800 Great pics M thanx for posting them such a shame when you see the state of the red one now .

Big Rat

The ‘funny’ red colour is by far my least favourite colour.

Hope the driver was OK.

Lol now that's dodgy territory. My wife usually starts taking deep breaths and threatens to throw up. Certainly makes me behave haha.

@s_a15 How do I put this Matey I rang and asked him 😉

Big Rat

[s_a15]

@Big Rat

Ha, why didn't I think of that! 

[Flytvr]

Amateurs. If your passenger threatens to throw up without actually following through, you’re not drying hard enough.

I’m quite proud of my statistics -

Vauxhall Vectra V6 SRi - Chalked one X girlfriend

ISF - Made the Mrs barf on a trip through Wales

 Cessna 172 - X Mrs barfed and made me land

 

I will add that this behaviour is not big and not clever 😀
