  1. You'll wait a long time. My boss once had an 'Tango Orange' Ford Cortina, which he hated. I never saw another one of those. :) He gave me a hard time, as I had a nice white one. :)
  2. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
  3. I also traded my CT for a NX Luxury. Very happy with everything bar the lower MPG, but with the mileage I do it's no big deal. I just got two remote key fobs, no credit card one.
  4. My daughter bought me a 'Challenge Xtreme Dual Action Car Polisher' from Argos, which was very nice of her, but now I need the right pads to polish the car. My car does not need scratches removing, I just want to use it help me to polish the car once in a while. Anyone got any tips/suggestions?
  5. Nor have I, I think they will be very rare indeed. I don't think you will miss it if one does pass you by. It'll be right in your face :)
  6. Not when it is just a couple of miles. When I go to the gym, the local shops, the local sports center etc, it only takes 5 mins, too far to walk (20 mins) regularly, although i do whenever I can. But the engine hardly warms up so I am lucky to reach 30MPG, more often than not it is 25-28MPG. When you do that several times every few days the overall MPG plummets. On journeys of 10-15 mins the MPG is 40ish.
  7. Better than I get. Mind you, the last time I did a mileage similar to that I think it was about 39 as well. Mostly I get low 30's but that is because I do a lot of very short journeys or motorway trips.
  8. Only once had three in the back, so used the center seat-belt. Seemed to work fine, then I just stowed it away in the roof again. No problem.
  9. Yeah, that is a very nice deal you got there.
  10. Very nice. You obviously get a great deal of satisfaction from spending time getting it like that. I do too. :)
  11. Ahh maybe that is a tow bar one, sorry.
  12. They do one. https://carconfig.lexus.co.uk/gb/en/?NX/b97a7ca8-ebde-44fd-a025-64baedbc2cb7/configure See accessories.
  13. Me too, my NX will not go to EV mode on start up, or be forced into it by me manually pressing EV mode, it needs to warm up first. It takes longer in cold conditions.
  14. It's grown on me. I will continue to watch it. It is still a bit daft at times, but if it was too serious I think the viewing numbers would drop, so I suppose it has to stay much the same as it has done in recent years.
  15. Can't say I have noticed that, even with a panoramic roof which some say can be noisier, but then again my hearing is poor. My wife has never mentioned it.
  16. A serious amount of work you are putting in. You obviously love doing it, so good for you.
  17. Crikey, that is good. It really all depends on the average speed you can manage. If you keep up a constant 40-50 on a longish trip I think that is when the car will be at it's best, so A and B roads with no hills. :)
  18. I am sure they had that Ultrasonic Blue in Guildford Lexus today. They had a photographer there taking a few snaps. They had a cool looking black one too, with black alloys, both looked stunning.
  19. It suits certain cars, but I don't think it works on the NX. It would certainly stand out mind.
  20. Good review. The NX does have its faults, but luckily they are not many. You are right about the infotainment system, although it does the job, it is a bit behind the competitors in this class, the best being the BMW idrive in my opinion. Real life MPG is well down on what the quoted figures are, although that is the same in most cars. Despite the few drawbacks, it is a lovely car drive and a good long term ownership prospect.
  21. Crikey, you are going for it then. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. Looks like a lot of hard work to me, but if you enjoy doing it then that is good.
  22. My dealership tried to sell me Gardex but I said no. They did it anyway, for free, including the seats with the interior version.
  23. I had them fitted on my NX, and I think because the wheel arches are also black they don't look too obvious. Do they help keep the car clean? I am not sure, but I am told they do. My son in-law does not like them, but my son does, so it's all a matter of taste.
