And there’s always the conundrum that the lifespan of a Lexus could be 30 years ICE and this outweighs the cost effectiveness, or lack of, and the nvirobmental cost, in scrapping and making brand new …… Lexus cars whatever Malc

Chris hi ....... did all this work get done ok ? Malc

Uncle Bob . she looks very very clean underside 👋 Malc

I must be the most boring person on earth then with my Honda Legend and Ls400s 😂 Malc

the back seats actually look useable too ……. Where’s the spare wheel ? Malc

Yes of course 👏👏👏 I don’t remember visiting any bank branch for maybe years ….. but I can be a tad forgetful 😰 Malc

But but but it’s almost ONLY in the UK and much of the eu ….. everywhere else just loves 4ltr V8s and “ real” engines AND will continue that way FOREVER …….. we are so hooked on the dopey notion that the UK rules the world in pollution affect ……. when we’re possibly just exporting all our older “ real” cars to much of the rest of the known oft impoverished world …… lots of Africa maybe EVs for the UK with BYD in China especially and normal petrol / diesel vehicles for ever everywhere else maybe ….. we might be a tiny minority of course 🤥 An irrelevance in motoring pollution globally ! Malc I’m sure Lexus V8s will survive everywhere …… even here, especially deepest darkest Kent

I’m an old one too and Nationwide Bank is just “spot on” for me and my business needs Professionally competent and happily soooooo different to some other banks I’ve been with ……. They even answer the phone when you call 👏 A rare achievement these days ….. to be able to talk with a real and competent bank employee human being 👍 Malc

Older Ls400s very inexpensive motoring V8 fun fun fun for many many simple motoring years without too many tears Your Sc430 will work out similarly if you take a sensible practical approach to maintenance and spending only what you have to spare on her ……. and I’m sure that’s the way you’ll be the way forward is simply to enjoy all you have as best you can and ENJOY As I enjoy my 1932 Triumph Southern Cross Sports Tourer ….. that’s me as the passenger just before end of last year …… jeez it was sooooo cold that day nr. Newmarket 😂🥶😂 Malc

Yes please ….. happy to take a look 👍 Malc

Go out and use her with the roof down, the wind rushing thru your hair …… sunshine or no …… wear good headgear if needs be ….. take her out and just ENJOY …… spread your wings ENJOY Malc

It’s BRILLIANT being old financially …… the alternative is …….. being miserable and tiresome, a pain in the arse and not being HAPPY ……. NOW that really ain’t good …… just wake up every morning and be happy and satisfied with all you have …… it’s often a lot more than many others for sure Malc

if you remember 😂 Malc
