@Defratos I believe not but I'm guessing someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly, I'm guessing it was just the launch colour blue and then a little while later white. 🐀

@Defratos Well felllas other countries did have the Red interior as an option from 2012. But New Zealand had a limited edition plaque car and here it is 😊 http://i.stuff.co.nz/motoring/6382450/Red-Edition-a-special-Lexus Big Rat

@NemesisUK Peter Whereas now............... Ah the sound of silence to ageing ears 🤗 🐀

@Warrington guy Yeah tell him Dave he's such a colour Luddite buying a Silver car I ask you 🤗 🐀

@JonP The tyre wear is an odd one my fronts have done almost 20k with up to a couple of weeks ago 4mm across the whole width of the tyre ( Car now on 42k) then I noticed both inner swearing quite badly, odd I'm relenting now and have spoken with Lexus to make sure it's not a warranty breaker going to fit the LCA from RR Racing in the states as per @Peter P18 Big Rat

@Flytvr I popped round earlier but you weren't in but I can see that you've trying to replace your own airbag on the Avensis 😂 Big Rat

Come on guys all this airbag talk is quite 'depressing ' 😂 Mind you in a frontal this little person should be just fine 😳 Big Rat

@Warrington guy Thanx matey you well how's the build going ? 🐀

@Mark6pot Mark Nah Matey that's chicken feed at those miles. Now with me being a bit of a research freak I know of the full index numbers of 98 ISF's + another 20 that are on cherished transfers. I've looked at the MOT history of everyone of these cars irrespective of the mileage and they are what I can only discribe as bloody good 😊 So out of all of the data I've got the mileages are in between 15008 and 211344 for all years covering 08 to 63. And I looked at this last month. One thing and one thing only is abundantly clear and it's this.... Inner tyre wear to both fronts is mentioned in nearly every single car every year sometimes failure but mostly advisory irrespective of mileage. It is extremely rare for suspension steering to even be mentioned again irrespective of age and mileage. The strange anomalies that come up fairly often is 'engine tray covers obscure steering suspension components' but I've yet to see this result in a fail. The odd windscreen chip like yourself and advisories figure fairly regularly for pad wear. One or two for lighting issues but again rarely. I think this speaks voulumes for the build quality of these cars, I'm in the process of doing some comparisons with the same number of random chosen M3 C63 of the same age range to see what's thrown up, hope some find this interesting.

@kieron1977 matey @Rusty Crobar gets this MPG, mind you the Police were behind him 😂 Big Rat

Big Rat 😉

@Mark G Well now let's see for example let's make the parallel with people after all those of us with Silver hair of which there are many on this site are level headed sensible successful bit like me really........... cough .......... cough Whereas people with blue hair are viewed somewhat differently.............. Big Rat

@Mark G You could always do yours in Silver 😂 🐀

@Mark G Tis not I matey, the fact is all this blarney about Grey the fact is it's dark Silver everybody knows that 😇 🐀

@NemesisUK Yes funny you should say that matey every time health and safety visit a site and I'm there they say things like that and ' oh my god no please tell me he's not working here' And the last one said ' if I see him toboggan down scaffold boards on that four wheeled barrow of his im having his site safety card ' Big Rat

@Farqui Marty Feldman I believe a very underrated comic of his time, whereas I'm just a complete clown 🤡 🐀

@Defratos Well done she looks great, look forward to meeting you both some time in the future 👍 Big Rat

@FTBBCVoodoo All my later Bm's had Castrol edge and on the normally aspirated 6 cylinder petrol cars, the level went down faster than the second hand on a watch 🙁 The turbo 6 petrols were a fair bit better never understood why 🙄 Big Rat

@FTBBCVoodoo Lee does she not like the Shell stuff that Lexus usually pour in the engine ? Big Rat

@Flytvr She would never drive any of those 'Porch tings ' excuse my patwois 😏 Thankyou it's my favourite pic 😊 Big Rat

So I think it's time for a bit of balance regarding some of the male driving Gods on this thread, now dispite my driving history and experience I'd owned my 'F' a couple of months when I followed Mrs Rat back from picking up her car from a service. Nearing home she rang me to remind me about the concrete blocks delivered and at the end of the drive whilst we were out. So I think you know where this is going I reversed up the drive from the road, like all considerate drivers should and despite all the reversing aids fitted to the car sensors, cameras 40+ years experience, straight into the large visible stack of concrete....... As you can Mrs Rat and her sisters were beside themselves at my misfortune full of support and sympathy, ok well maybe not, only minor paint damage thankfully 😅 Big Rat

@mrfunex Stuart looks great Matey, any thoughts on rear seat centre plastic panel as well ? Big Rat

@rayaans No you tell her I'm to scared 😳 🐀

@dougie175 I think you're right if the wheels on a car look right usually so is the car 👍 🐀

Ah yes very good don't know why he doesn't just go and bloody buy one he's always fixating about them 😂 🐀
