Walkaround And the water test on gas

This thread had made me chuckle a few times so far. Les posts that anyone who doesn't agree with his opinion must live on a another planet, and then retorts back that other people were rude to him in reply ... lol. It seems that regardless of whether the lights are bright enough or not, there is no legal requirement for them to be there at all. So I'm just wondering what the OP was expecting Lexus to say or do? Fair enough that some other cars/brands have better ones, and that means Lexus should do what? They are not going to do a recall when clearly from this thread there are those that think they are fine and those that think they are not. No idea why that should result in insults, but I guess that is how some deal with differing opinions to their own. They may offer assistance in illuminating the way when reversing, but if they were "meant" to illuminate the way, surely we would all have headlights on the back of our cars, with the appropriate legal operating parameters around them (like headlights do)? As far as those saying they are not there as a warning for others, why do you think they are white and not some independent colour of their own? It is so that you can make the connection between headlights and reversing lights and make an assumption that the vehicle may be moving towards you (rather than red lights that would suggest they are moving away from you). So they do potentially fulfill a dual purpose, "If" you have them and they are working, which they don't have to be, or they are bright enough, which they don't have to be.

Luvly you take your coffee a bit weak though.

bluesman, if there is any Django Reinhardt that you've been looking for but can't find, let me know. I have a friend.....

More pics as promised ECU- told you it was hidden !! Same with the filler - Used the standard 22mm filler as it is more sturdy than the usual 10mm one Back of the filler Spare wheel well under the tank - Cut the carpet out as it was soaking wet and repainted the boot floor before adding some new carpet under the tank Still more to come later on

Blimey,I can't get over,what we pay for iridium spark plugs these days,it's not a gripe,I look after my LS400, maintenance,and cosmetics apart,but when I think of paying a £1.00,for 4 Champion N5's, for my old Ford Cortina,...............

sorry bluesman, you're right, it was stephane grappelli. I bow to your greater wisdom. it was very good though. i was never able to get to grips with jazz, but i do like a bit of blues. especially the songs about his woman done left him, stole his shoes, his soap and ate his last bit of pizza, thus rendering him to a sustained period of bi polar disorders eventually leading to chronic alcohol misuse and the inevitable onset of korsakoff's syndrome. You know the kind song I mean...? :) , they always featured heavily in tom and jerry cartoons. The fred quimby ones, not the later chuck jones type...... Come to think of it there was a fair bit of jazz in those toons also. i remember tom making a zoot suit out of a lampshade and jamming with some of the cool alley cats living rough in his area. You may have your doubts, but i am a responsible adult.

bought mine as a divorce present to myself, makes me feel good every morning i see it :) :)
