Thanks, I couldnt find any pictures on lexus.de But I found this elsewhere, is this it?

Hi

Thank you for the picture of your SC I have just found it as last year I bought a Porsche C2 S but have now decided to go back to a SC and the wind deflector on your car looks great so I will try to find one.

Thanks Again

Michael

Hi Buzz

Sadly I lost £10,500.00 in 7 months on my SC which was the best bid I received, my SC had done 7500 miles and was as new.

Regards

Michael

:D Hi Folks

Well although I loved my SC I have given in and bought a Merc SL, the SC was smother and had a small rear seat but the Merc has more toys including colour tv / front and rear park assist great wheels and comand centre etc etc.

I enjoyed my time with you guys but time to go.

Regards

Michael

:D

Hi Robin

If any of you want to see pictures of the new SC wheel trims, I have two pictures of my car fitted with them on the club gallery page 8 just select the club gallery from drop downlist above and click on page 8.

Hope you like it

Michael

:D Hi

My SC was the first to have the new trims in the uk and they look a million dollars compared with the old pie plates, sadly I cannot tell you where to get them in the UK yet.

Michael

:D I'm free most dates

Michael

:D Hi

I would be up for a Devon meet let me know dates nice to go to something this side of Bristol.

Michael

Hi Guy's

You should really read you radio hand books, if you switch of the traffic info the ariel will stay down when you have the CD on, I put my mobile on the centre cup holder in works fine.

I use the rear seats often to get four of us to the pub which is all I want the rear seat for just short trips.

I will be at Haynes that is if it is still on for the 21st Sept as I am now confused with all the talk about a second meet, is it on or not?

See you there if it is

Michael :D

:) Hi Suplex

I bought a new SC on March 1st and I love it, I have always run Merc SL's since the eighties until now but the rear seat which everyone laughs at in the SC can be used for short runs to a restaurant or pub with the front seats forward which makes it the only folding quality tin top money can buy that can do this, ( the SL can not) I have driven the new SL which is not better than the SC and is much more common. If you want a convertable then the SC is the one to buy you should not compare a coupe like the SC with a saloon as some have tried to do they are two very different cars.

Buy your SC and you will love it just as I do.

Michael

I would like to fit the remote roof kit to my car but my local dealer will not fit anything which did not come from Lexus UK, anyone know a Lexus dealer that would fit it?

Thanks

Michael

I don't think I can make JAE it is just too far from here, it would take something like 5 hours this time of year each way.

Michael

Hi Whitebeam

Lets see who else is in Devon and try and meet up, are you going to Powderham Castle Lexus open road ?

Hi Steve

sorry about the factory tour but I hurt my back in May when someone ran into my wifes car when I was a passenger and I am only just back to something close to normal. I will look out for the somerset meet.

Thanks that did the trick

Michael

come on folks someone must know the maximum size for a jpeg avatar.

Thanks Michael

It looks like it is the size of the picture is the problem, what is the max the one I tried is 81.2 kb the one I have is only 12 kb

Thanks

Michael

Hi Folks

are there any SC or other Lexus owners in Devon? I am feeling very alone down in North Devon, would be nice to have a mini or micro meet somewhere sometime.

Anyone interested?

Michael

Hi any one tell me how to change my avatar picture, I tried just through edit avatar but it said no so any thoughts please.

Thanks

Michael

Your best bet is email Lexus.co.uk I asked at my dealer because I am thinking of ordering another for 2004 and they did not think much would change.

Michael

:D I spent this weekend cruising with the roof down from North Devon to Cribbs at Bristol and cannot believe the MPG average was 32.1 after about 220 miles, my Rover 75 diesel tourer auto only returns 36 MPG.

Great car, well done Lexus

:D Thanks Chunky

I will give it a try

Michael

I just kerbed a front wheel on my new SC while avoiding a tourist who had paid for both sides of the road here in Devon, can you buy touch up paint for alloys? the damage is not bad enough yet to go to the trouble of removing the wheel.

Thanks

Hi

Anyone found a good leather cleaner my SC has rutland cream leather and I am finding the dye from some of my clothes is coming of onto the seats, the cleaner I have is not very good.

Thanks Folks

:D The SC430 is brilliant, it is often compared with the Merc SL but believe me the SC is streets ahead, I ran SL Mercs for many years but when I test drove the new 350SL I was so dissapointed that I then bought a new SC.

The benefits of the SC over the SL are:

1. More head room

2. Faster and better engine.

3. Quieter and smoother ride

4. Small rear seats which you CAN fit someone in for short journeys.

5. Better standard spec.

6. Better build quality

7. More exclusive.

And unlike some I find the SC performance and handling outstanding, like all cars you have to settle in to the style of any car but once you do the SC in formidable on the road. A weekend test drive is no more than that, but when you own an SC you will love it.

Michael :D

:D Welcome to the club, what is involved with the kit for remote operation of roof etc? and also TV tuner.

Michael
