    P1010081.jpg

    Snap! That bike is identical to mine.... apart from the can and the wheel stripes that is. Even got the same double-bubble on it!

    Cool cool, yeah thats my other toy!!! lol.....Goes like stink and amazing around a track too!!!!

  4. I use near enough everything!!! lol.......

    If you just want a basic stuff i'd go for their tech wax car shampoo, tech wax, glass cleaner and tyre shine gel.

    Ive got all the extra's like the gold class clay, strach-x remover, metal polish.........the list goes on!! Got a nice Meguiars bag to carry it all in too from one of the competions i won! =]

    You can get it from all good car shops, Halfords or even from Meguiars website!!! They arent cheap but the results speak for themselves!

  5. Hi all,

    Well it was noted that the discs and pads would need changing at the MOT as Lexus do their check over it and yesterday Lexus Ipswich came and picked it up, drove it, got it covered in c*&p off the road (as i keep it under a cover so was sparkling) didnt clean it and brought it back.

    However in order for them to bring it back they wanted money and to be quite honest i think blood would be more appropriate as £360 seems a mad price!!! Has anyone else paid this sort of money and is it me just being tight or this quite high!!??

    However, i cant complain as if i didnt do it the car would have never stopped but still!!

  6. I know these guys from when i was doing the shows in my Toyota and they are good lads and their work is good quality, all kits will need work it would be almost impossible to find a kit that goes straight on, just doesnt happen!

    But if you have time on your hands and are quite handy with a few tools can be really satisfying to get stuck in! =]

  7. If found i get about 350 miles per tank but i am luck in that most of that is motorway driving so i can set the cruise control and enjoy the ride! Should try it without the air con to really try and make a difference!

    Hey at the end of the day the lexus is a luxury car so wants to be pampered with large helpings of petrol!!! lol......except i htink my wallet would beg to differ!!! lol........

  8. My car is coming upto 30k and its on its 2nd set of tyres (wheels and tyres were brand new when i bought the car in march on 15k) and needs a new set of pads pretty dam quick as it was picked up on the MOT that they would need doing at the next service......

    .....My geo needs doing so i dont expect large amounts of miles out the bridgestones that are on there! :(

  9. Hi Guys,

    Big thanks to Gord for the call and letting me follow you guys!!!

    It was really nice to meet everyone and look forward to seeing you at the next meet!

    And Wozza i blame you for me now wanting a supercharger............lol...........

    I got a couple of pics and will post asap!!!

  10. I have just spoken to Gord who has been very nice to me and allowed me to tag along with the convoy!!! B)

    Once i get the nod from Gord that you are approaching the A12 junction I will be join the M25 and hopefully see you guys, if you see me first look out for a granite sky IS200!!! Give us a wave or flash! lol.....

    ..............Not like that you filthy lot! lol........

    ........I Hope you guys dont fly by too quick so i can catch you up! lol....

    Cheers all,

    Matt

  11. I don't think its being too narrow minded as you know exactly what your looking for but you will have to be patient until the right one comes along!! Was the one you drove a manual or an auto??!!

    Have you considered other dark colours if you like the darker colour IS200?? The grantie sky like mine is a nice colour, the dark blue is also a nice with the aero pack on! =]
