"Can dash cam footage be used in court? Absolutely. Dash cams can provide invaluable information in a case that would otherwise have been left to testimony and conjecture. In 2015 the UK courts saw its first jail sentence handed out off the back of incriminating dash cam footage. The dangerous driver wasn't caught red-handed by police, but instead was only arrested after police were shown dash cam footage from a concerned citizen."

Ditto.. I very rarely used the paddles in my AMG (accidentally hit the downshift once when negotiating a roundabout and nearly crapped myself as I exited sideways 😁) But in the RC with the eCVT changing gears (or more correctly, ratios) using the paddles is actually quite enjoyable, far more responsive than the relatively slushy automatics in other cars. I don't use them every trip but it's a great option to have

Not tempted to swap the 300h for the RC-F?

If you have the 'gearbox' in S mode (not the driving S mode, although that can be selected at the same time) the paddles allow complete control over the 'gears'. Great for overtaking, powering out of corners etc. Just like driving a manual, without a clutch. As the 'gear' shifts are instantaneous, unlike a normal auto box in manual mode, it's a bit X-box like but great fun

I have and it performed as well as proprietary products. The wool detergent is especially gentle on the stitching ... Considerably cheaper too!

Have you done a side-by-side comparison with another cloth dampened with wool detergent in water?

Agreed, special and very under rated ...

Nice! That's 175mph on the speedo, so probably 155-165mph actual? Do Lexus speed limit their performance cars, as MB do?

My handbook states that when the outside air temperature nears 0c the A/C will not function, as in the chiller will not operate. Could this be what's happening in your case?

Oooo! Now, that I like!

My cars have always been gender neutral ...

@Big Rat I agree but Zapp (Troutman bothers) and Frank Zappa not the same at all ..

Not forgetting Sparks and Zapp

It's in the general owner's handbook, not the separate NAV handbook, under the "Using a External Device" section, page 369 in my version..

I have used a 64Gb USB in my 2016 RC, no problems. From my handbook (nothing mentioned about max capacity) Compatible device formats The following device format can be used: • USB communication format: USB2.0 HS (480 Mbps) and FS (12 Mbps) • File system format: FAT16/32 (Windows) • Correspondence class: Mass storage class MP3, WMA and AAC files written to a device with any format other than those listed above may not play correctly, and their file names and folder names may not be displayed correctly. Items related to standards and limitations are as follows: • Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels • Maximum number of folders in a device: 3000 (including the root) • Maximum number of files in a device: 9999 • Maximum number of files per folder: 255

How's about this? "You guys aren't like the Zodiac killers or anything, right?"

"I'll tell you in another life, when we are both cats"

Pretty sure reversing lamps are not an MoT check. Rear fog lamp is, centre or offside must function.

You won't find another such attention grabbing car.... Throw in the V8 and it's the complete package. Go on, you know you want to 😎

From those images, does it mean they are reintroducing front fog lamps? Or is that only for North American markets?

That sounds more like a closing out offer? Including things that were originally only options now as standard on the outgoing version, just before the face-lift comes on stream?

I certainly wouldn't pay for the paint correction. That should be part of the deal, Lexus to sort out the scratches / swirls and to your satisfaction. If you want the car, get it in writing and go for it.

As I posted above my RC arrived in the UK pretty nearly completely wrapped in plastic. Normal prep would be remove the film and wipe down with panel wipe. Mine was then ceramic coated. You're correct about the paint process in the factory. Each coat is rubbed down by hand, ensuring an unusually smooth and orange peel free finish. Certainly the best paint finish I've seen in modern cars. Just have a look at a new Mercedes, terrible orange peel on every panel.

A quick double press of the lock button switches off the signal. Should be in the handbook, battery saving function I believe it's called. I turned off the spare key but just put mine in a tin box, saves having to remember to switch it back on each morning

Worth remembering the RC has a self healing top coat. My RC was delivered to the dealership with all panels covered by plastic wrap, even the alloys had hard plastic bin lid type covering.
