Hello GS-F Well I have done it, I have been torn for a few months now, do I want to change the IS-F and if so do I go for an RC-F or the GS-F, no other brand was in the frame, anyway I took a trip to Lexus Cheltenham on Saturday to look at a GS-F they had in stock, I know the history of the car and they put together what I think is a good deal, so its now sat on the drive. I know its clichéd but I found it very difficult to let the IS-F go, on the way to drop it of I was reminiscing about the trips I had done in it, the runs out with some of you guys and blasts across Europe, it really is an epic car and the GS-F will have its work cut out to match it. There was no one particular reason why I changed it was a number of things and to me the GS-F was always a natural progression. One last thing, I wont be going over to the GS forum, I am staying here, you will have to put up with me a while longer. The colour...................do you really need to ask.........................

Yes I did, went in on Saturday to take a look and did the deal there and then, picked it up on Monday.

Well I was going to keep it quiet until weekend but I think you have worked it out anyway as nothing gets past you!!!!!!!!! Its mine, I chopped it in for the blue GS-F

Two things here, the BHP figure is way too low and what went wrong with the engine, they have replaced the block, presumably due to bore wear, what about pistons, are they the originals because if it was losing that much oil that it needed a replacement block I would have thought other components would have been replaced also. As others have said, does it feel underpowered?

Oh.................

Oh no, really.....I need to go out and get one quick.......................

I doubt there is much in it, we will have the chance to find out eventually, I am happy with what I have got, cant see me changing for quite a while..............

Actually @Flytvr I think I have seen that car around here, don't think it was an 80 year old driving it though, looked nice.........................

Speechless.................absolutely speechless

Great find, some good technical stuff there.

Really like the GS-F, in blue of course, I can see myself in one of those............................

Obviously performance is a major factor for me, that's why I own an "F" car, but the sound is a major factor for me, you take away the sound of the engine, especially a V8 and you remove one of the most involving aspects of a car, so what if it hits 60 in 3 seconds........in complete silence..............sorry not interested.

GS-F...................maybe...................

Great, just the sort of image the car wants.........................

That works for me.......................

Pffft, I would never speak to him again..............well unless he brought cake, lots of cake, Battenburg would work..................

Same as mine more or less 44700...............time for a change........................

Walking into dealers and looking at new cars is dangerous, you never know what you will end up buying.....................................do you @Flytvr

Yes Dav.......................

Picked mine up today from Lexus Swindon, no damage at all, no petrol added to the tank or box of sweets either unlike some dealers, at least they did a decent job though.

That really does look good, not sure I would want to take it out!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm looks interesting, need to have a read up on it though.

What does he charge for this @mike m

Be interesting to see the results on this, plenty photos isn't a problem, especially as its the best colour........................

It loves it............................ ...................and I have no driving style.....................
