  2. JonP
    Actually yes, decent discount from the dealer...
  3. JonP
    Plus brakes and tyres.. getting new front brake pads and discs in a couple of days time.

    I've had mine for over 6 months, perhaps not quite as agile as my ISF was and the A pillars are thicker. Other than that, everything else is a more positive experience, part from the Track Pad, which ought to be consigned to the leftover parts bin. I'm planning on keeping it for a number of years.....

    The old methods are always the best, though I might not tell my wife about that, should it become necessary.....
  6. JonP
    Sounds like a good tip, I'll give that whirl....

    They treat em rough where I come from up north...

    Got into my car this morning, bit of ice on the vehicle, handle was slightly iced up. Started wondering how others had found getting into the car when the windows are deep frozen, iced up and therefore can't drop down to allow entry into the car? Do I need to stock up on cans of de-icer?

    Very nice pix

    I switched from a 2011 ISF to an RCF. Very different driving experience, bigger car/bonnet etc. But the more I drive it the more epic it is.Totally at home tootling around but press on and it's epic.

    Funnily enough, I think the same young guy drives a white C63 near where I live.... Has a habit of flooring it on 30 mph roads and very nearly did the same thing to me, extremely silly.
  12. JonP
    Actually, just out of curiosity, what triggered you to swap the F type for an RCF?
  13. JonP
    Well done. Hope you get as many smiles from yours as I am getting from mine....

    Well, I think it comes down to horses for courses, I ran an ISF as my daily driver for about 100k and had 1 puncture in 6 years which was caused by a nail. I’m now running an RCF as my daily, we’ll see how it goes but so far so good. Hit a few potholes but no damage yet There is always the possibility of something bad happening, but I think driving a car that puts a smile on my face when I get in it and yet I know is going to work, is worth the risk...
  15. JonP
    Probably a wise decision.
  16. JonP
    I’d guess the latter. I looked for a deal I liked on a GSF several times but ended up in an RCF because the dealers I talked to were happy that they didn’t need to discount and the cost to change was a bit too much.
  17. JonP
    Love it. And the comments explain why a cross pipe in the exhaust is a good idea.....
  18. JonP
    Yeah, I traded it. Needed a valet, a service and an mot when it went in. Front brakes had a bit of flutter, service would probably sort that. Otherwise, nothing significant that I noticed. Lexus need to inspect before renewing the warranty. I had one on the car but I think it had lapsed.
  19. JonP
    Check if they have done the 100k service, it needed it when I traded the car in.
  20. JonP
    It's definitely less hassle, in my case it was also a good deal, as the dealer offered a chunk more trade in and bigger discount than Lexus would, plus all the messages I've seen from people looking for cars cited characteristics that my car didn't have, for example sunroof, or mileage or colour etc.. So I decided there was little point in selling it privately..
  21. JonP
    Slightly different meaning to the term burnout. Maybe I should ask peter for his build sheet.
  22. JonP
    Think I only need a few minor mods to get my car to this state of tune.....
  23. JonP
    Looking at the mileage, it may be my old car, which doesn’t have a sunroof.
  24. JonP
    You know it makes sense to get one, they are addictive for a reason...

    Watched that a last night, he doesn't like the gearbox ratios much, which I get if you want to be in a hurry, but other than that, quite complimentary.. It's actually a pretty balanced review, I think. He's probably right about the TVD not being predictable when the car is at it's limits, but as I'm never going to Track mine, so far the TVD seems to control the back end better than the mechanical LSD did on my ISF, so I'm happy with that...
