LC500 Demonstrator/Customer Deliveries
Bluesman replied to Jules640's topic in Lexus LC500 / LC500h Club
I had an invitation from Lexus Reading to have a demo on the LC500 22/25 June so I presume they had one then. No I didnt go. -
Finally Bought One!
Bluesman replied to Bowserman's topic in RX 300 / RX 350h / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h+ / RX 500h Club
Thats just a myth as the fuel outlet is on the botton of the tank. -
LPG doesnt burn as hot as petrol. The problem with some Lexus engines is getting the EMU to work with it. If you can get it installed they are brilliant on LPG. Your biggest problem will be getting a decent outfit to install it. You can pay thousands but if they mess the install up you might just as well send me all the money, I get to have a good time on it and you get to keep your beloved Lexus with you driving it.

LS BP LPG
Bluesman replied to thatfatbloke's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h Club
Mine starts at 50p and I get a 1p off each time I fill up all the way to 10p off a litre giving me a 40p a litre every 10 fillups. Lovely. Me and my Lexus have huge smiles. I fill up in a Calor Gas center and you dont have to sit for ages while some one leaves their car on the only pump you can use while they do their weeks shopping. LPG forever. -

There are a couple of LPG sites that have a complete list of all the LPG filling points some of which are not normal petrol filling stations. -

Paul Holywoods Big Continental Tour or Top Gear.
Bluesman posted a topic in Lexus Owners Club Lounge
I am not lover of the sort of programes that employs part time bakers and fill the TVs with mind numbingly boring programes but I was pleasantly surprised when by pure chance I came upon his motoring series and its really good. Gone are all those tyre consuming episodes which proved that if you bought this years whatever it may be £50,000 more than last years and theres no room anymore for rear seat passengers even if they have had there legs amputated but the naught to 195 mph is 0.00000000001 of a secand faster than last years model. So ditch that ailing Top Gear and use your loaf BBC give Paul Holywood a chance. What a refreshing change it would make. -
Insurance Excess
Bluesman replied to Martin F's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
And for that very reason alone it should not be sold by private companies. -

Insurance Excess
Bluesman replied to Martin F's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
I have always wondered where you and the Insurance co stand legally. The law says you must have car insurance, however as pointed out by Malcolm the policy excess seem to rise year on year. I have heard of policies with excesses of £2000 and I am sure this is not at the top end of excesses so how much excess can you have before you are deemed not to be insured anymore £100 £200 £1000 £2000? -
Any of you crinklies going to Le Mans?
Bluesman replied to mrfunex's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Classy sticker. Enjoy. -
If you damage a mere 5 meters of single height Armco and you could be on the hook for 150 Euro cost for men in a truck to come out to assess the damage, this is alongside the 31 Euro cost per meter to replace it if damaged. If your car is broken after a crash, the cost of recovery starts at 600 Euros minimum. Assuming you’ve crashed and the safety car is required to attend to you and or your stricken car, that will cost you 82 Euros for every 30 minutes it’s in attendance. The biggest cost of all though is incurred if the marshals decide that the track needs to be closed to recover your now very broken car and all of the bits that came off it when crashing, this will cost you from 1,350 Euros per hour for every hour the track is closed. Here is a full list of the potential cost of damaging and or closing the Nurburgring: Base fee for attendance of Armco truck – €150 Removing damaged Armco – €10/metre (x2 or x3 or x4 for multiple-height sections) Replacement Armco – €31/metre (x2 or x3 for double/triple height) Removing damaged armco posts – €5.10 each Replacing armco post – €39 each Safety car attendance – €82 per 30 mins (car and two people) Circuit closure from – €1,350 per hour Recovery truck from – €600 (inc VAT)

Have sent a report off. Hopefully it will come back to normal fairly quickly. Mike.

I think you might find its the other way round. On my latest TomTom and two more before that the TT Satnav has always shown that the speedo is always incorrect. The cars speedo showing 70MPH the Tom Toms show consistently 64/5 mph. Tom Tom shows 70mph car speedo shows 77/76 mph. I have tried it on my wifes Fiesta with the same results. I assume they detune speedos so they could never be bought to task saying that their speedos are at fault for why I was speeding by showing a lower number than you were actually doing.
