1. Yep 2. Interesting. Didnt know that. 3. Gave up trying to transfer my phone book. It's as if the software is from a previous century. 4. How about a number 4. The dipping wing mirrors when in reverse only work when the mirror adjust switch is in the L position.

Yes, my thoughts go to anyone layed off work and all you businessmen as that must be worrying for loads of reasons not least finance on an F car. I realise I'm lucky in his respect as employed by a big telecoms company, have worked from home for years and my ISF was cash purchased. If I can keep in good health Im hoping to ride his storm with minimal impact. I thought about SORN but didnt as a weekly trip to the supermarket in the ISF may have to be the only fun I get in the near future

I got my IS300 MOTd at the local village garage last week and they still remain open but Lexus Derby shut down yesterday. I guess the local needs the business and the money. For no real reason other than my OCD I would maintain continuous MOT on my ISF, if safe and possible to do so, rather than it show a gap.

And pay more taxes for around 10 years. Small price to pay though when people are dieing.

And not all Lexus labour rates are the same either for any non service menu work so it might be worth shopping around. Lexus Derby share the same franchise site with Toyota and the pricing is maybe more Toyota but much cheaper than I've others quote here.

Well it seems to have sold or been moved on in the trade as not there anymore. I would imagine for every buyer who wouldn't buy a press car for any supposed issues there is a buyer who craves the story telling it might offer.

Nothing against green but I'm not sure about this one. I bet it looks much better in real life though.

Hi Dave, you may remember a Blue RCF is on my bucket list....🤔..and given you posted you regret selling your ISF to me...🤔 you could do a lot worse than have it back. But I bet yours is too new for me to afford and your old one too old to go back to. 🤔 But just for info what year is your RCF and have you got any pictures.

Nice one. Worth the wait and looks great in USB........and a sunroof. Sorry moonroof.😅

Awesome. Bet it still feels like new.

My pride and joy has just rolled over the 100000 mile mark (and still going strong) and I wondered how many more out there have reached the milestone? Probably a few ISFs but any RCFs or GSFs Any drivers done 100k F miles themselves?

Agreed. Something wrong as moisture shouldn't be getting in. Kids not closing the rear windows fully has been my problem in he past. If it's not a window then it needs looking at by the dealer if a door seal has gone. Did you buy from a dealer or have a warranty ?

I might go but will leave the decision to nearer the time. The museum is a great place if anyone hasnt been and worth a second visit maybe but would like to see it free to just park up. That in itself is an attraction the museum use as a feature so disappointing they dont offer it.

Correct on both counts.

Yep. Fair point but I guess this depends on the integrity and skill level of said scum bag who nick's it. Professionaly stolen to ship abroad as an asset it's just moved somewhere to see if the police turn up. I would have that back as I have lavished love and attention on the old girl and spent ages cleaning the inside of the fuel filler cap for heavens sake. 🤣 And who's to say he most irresponsible guy to get to drive my car is me. 🤣 Recovered from a ditch and full of KFC crap well that's a different matter as that might be hard to love again.

52 when I bought my ISF. 15 months in now and my problem is I dont use it enough with the use of a daily driver, the wifes car, a Motorhome, and a 2 seater buggy. First world problems hey. My first V8 was a TVR Chimera when I was in my late 20's. I recon there might still be enough time in my driving career for one or 2 more V8's before eco warriors call time on the fun.

Sad to see it's not recovered yet and sympathies to the owner but there is lot an owner can do to be as protected as poss. Keys in a faraday pouch and not in plain sight for one. Stoplocks work as a deterrent as long as you dont keep the keys with your keys!!!. And for such a prized position why no tracker ? A friend of mine just fitted an Autowatch Ghost system on his Golf R and that looks like it makes it theft proof. Its halved his insurance and will pay for itself in the time he has the car. Considering it next on my list. I'm not one for challenging the tooled up scum bags should the worst happen but will let the police quickly follow the tracker to where they take it.

Wasnt @NothernDan selling his after fitting his air ride set up??

I test drove a red 2011 ISF and can confirm it was fast so @Womble72 must be right. 🤣 It was in shabby condition so I kept looking and in the end i bought a white 2009 ISF because despite higher mileage it was a much better car. Do I miss all the things it doesn't have? No. And now I know its 0.2s quicker AND the best colour... WHITE whats not to like.😉

Good spot on the wheels. It's not a great photo but I think your right. When I had my wheels refurbed they they put the fronts back on the wrong corner. The look on the guys face when I pointed out he need to swap the tyres and wheels around. 🤣

Hi. You would hope that being owned by the dealers family it's well looked after but as they say the onus is you as the buyer. The only rust I have ever seen on an ISF is on the inner edge of the rear wheel arch where the inner and outer wings are welded together. Oh and check the rear brake lines where they go after the flexi from the brake caliper. It goes from there all the way to the front bulkhead in one go and is expensive to replace. Any sign of corrosion get them to replace at their cost as it's a 4 figure bill. (Had to have mine done and my ISF is 2009). But most of all enjoy ride. It's awesome.

Yes they look good and an easy fit I gather. I never got round to getting a set but I think they would look great with my white paint and black badging.

How do you guys rate this as an event vrs LeMans. For me LeMans is a great race but it's much more than the race.

I think very few original owners of any colour added a sun roof. Or moon roof as Lexus call it. Whilst I would choose one, I would buy a car with one rather than without one if there we two to choose from, but do I ever use the sun roof in my daily driver? No. Do I notice my ISF doesn't have a sunroof? No. Personal choice but a few months driving an ISF without a sunroof is more fun than looking for one with.

I'm in. I was gutted to miss the Derby meet last time especially seeing as I'm from Derby. Happy to research venues locally.
