So then .......... when can I place my order with Lexus for the ( to be ) new Lexus Ls700 hydrogen spec'd car ?🤩 Malc

my local'ish Tesco E10 is at 138.9p plus points of course . about 1p a ltr ? Gillingham Kent The other local Tesco's pricing is 148.9p to match the local cartel of BP and Morrisons .... crooks the lot of 'em eh ! Malc

have you been to Cornwall recently ?? . the roads into and out are simply ATROCIOUS ..... some feign at road highway improvements . just creates total traffic gridlock and chaos, especially out of season ( whatever that is ) Malc

So we just have to use some of this Rare Earth stuff anyway and there’s no point whingeing and whining about it The alternative is zero electric energy for our home - house and industrial needs and that’s a nonsense scenario Bit like moaning about eating the last mars bar in the pack 😄 Malc

I sure hadn't realised there was a need for Rare Earth materials to build a windfarm or a tidal barrier . thought they would be constructed from natural materials and steel and maybe concrete or natural stone etc .. the storage of the electricity produced might of course require some products , and i know not what ........ might be like a solar panel farm somewhere ........ but those " rare " materials would be maybe common and easy and safe to obtain Maybe the normal stuff we would use to power-up our usual capacity for home and industrial use and NOT for vehicle running ( apart from home plug=in EVs ) Please enlighten us ! Malc

I personally hadn't realised the imminent and amazing range of the Mirai ........ my Ls700 hydrogen must surely just be around the next bend whenever i see a BP service station being refurbished Malc

there's a glimmer of hope ...... in early times, had your car been serviced by Lexus ( as is likely ? ) the car just might have the original computerised service log with Lexus ( at the Centre ? ) and if so that might reveal summat useful 🤔 Malc

a young lad called Harry might have the ultimate solution then then he'd sure have summat to whinge about methinks ......... siliconed nuts seem some sort of solution to this on-going crap emanating forthwith Malc

I think I'm about to be paying for a brand new car in Delhi, a 7 seater tho' Trying to convince my guy there, who's car it will be, business use and of course, for his family and his driver .......... to look at any Lexus offering there might be . if any .. I'll let you know as it all unfolds Prices of brand new cars there look amazingly inexpensive compared to here Malc

well, they haven't bothered to reply to my email asking about the wheels and tyres ....... so guess they really aren't that interested to sell it AND / OR have incompetent sales people running the business .............. and if that's their attitude towards possible customers then I really don't want to be the one on the end of any issues that may arise from buying a car from these people Malc

Excellent logic but WHY would one ever wish or need to get under the car ? To look at the pretty construction foibles, to check everything is still in order OR MAYBE to, heaven forfend, think about crawling underneath to attempt to do some work on your beloved beast ..... if you daren't leave it to your local garage or whomsoever to do that greasy rag bit of car ownership 😅 Well done anyway . it's always challenging to know what it might be one needs for a pressie Malc

ME TOO being made redundant from NatWest I bought my Vx Carlton for peanuts as my ex company car and ran that for ages . to about 215k miles actually .. brilliant car back in the early 90's .... then as an afterthought and to stave off boredom, my time with a local 2ndhand car sales business took root and I thoroughly enjoyed that time too Never understanding why someone would ever want to p/ex their brilliant used car for another off my forecourt, but hey, people will always want to spend their money on cars We then bought in a used brilliant Ls400 J54DAP thinking to sell it to a local astute business guy . a renowned Romney Marsh turf grower ........ Anyway, he bought a Mercedes from us instead and we were left with this supposed gaz guzzler which, coz of the petrol world mayhem at that time meant it was going to sit on our forecourt for ever and a day . or straight down to the auction lot to offload Thankfully we kept her in stock and I decided to use her and wow, wot an amazing car experience And as you all know, my very first Ls400, which I pensioned off at 186 k ?? and then bought my next one from a multi used car marque dealer in Windsor and following her write-off replaced her with the Ls400 I now have ( from a member on here at that time too ) ......... now some 23 years and 250k miles probably with an Ls400 hahahahaha, the new yet to be created Ls700 hydrogen might be my next foray into car spending mode 🤣 Malc

they love your car as much as you ? Malc

I'm just checking out with the vendor garage the size and condition of the tyres and wheels and if there's a set of 5 🤔 Malc

maybe there's an official sticker near the engine somewhere advising when it was last done etc ? If not and a prior owner gives you info you can trust, then well, it's all down to you Cambelt going pop will just destroy the engine ............ reading many years ago that the " Bang " point for a Ls400 cambelt was 150k miles Malc

Excellent .... you could introduce Front Line Ukranian forces to it's use for a " real life adrenaline rush " chasing around Russian forces, wheelies and all, is bound to confuse them and lower their guard Malc

get real please, pay attention ........... you've been told already it's a Japanese BatMobile Malc

mine was my 1950's Triang 3 wheeler methinks ........... my first set of wheels too . I could chase and " fly " everywhere on that and no fear of it being stolen 🥰 Malc

a thing of beauty .......... hehehehehe .... great value for money whatever, £3k for a 117k miles Ls400 is BRILLIANT Malc

I think I'm remembering reading that both Holland and Luxembourg now run Hydrogen trucks very regularly Malc

I think touring around europe in times past, good simple constant motoring at steady and often motorway type speeds ... my oldie V8 4Ltr Ls400 looked to be just in excess of 500 mp/tank Malc

brilliant ....... another fault free car still up for sale then 😅 Malc

he's not heard we're starting ( or continuing into ) a recession and prices usaslly " go down " at these times Malc

these are the guys nr to me that I' going to visit sometime soon to fix my dials bouncing about ....... when they start that again I'm reading they have good write-ups BUT being in Kent are a huge drive for you from deepest darkest Cornwall Good luck Malc btw, what's the issues you're experiencing with your 95 Ls400 ........ I've had mine 11.5 years and covered 120k miles of it's 242k miles

UK population is so so tiny compared to the rest of the " wealthy " world, even tho; UK is still 6th ? in Global Wealth ( behind or just ahead of Brazil is it ) and has a relative tiny landmass across which to sell it's brands and models ...... these must also be huge factors in deciding model spread into the UK . also, unless no-one's noticed just now, much of the UK population is going thru' or about to begin to go thru', very straightened circumstances and new car purchases will drop to a very very low point in peoples aspirations Reality of Marketing right now eh !
