@Tfp Tim they need a rest from time to time .... nice driveway by the way...... 😊 🐀

@Bluethunder Nean how’s ownership going haven’t seen you post for a while, are you aware of the Peaks Meet end of September? Or have I missed your posts somewhere...🙄 Anyway back on topic paranoia is normal by the way...... sorry about that...... So we have Mrs Rat little 1.25 Petrol ‘ I live my life in train station car parks’ Fiesta And my Van that’s been very busy of late...... And the black ‘Kitt’ in between 🤗 Big Rat

@Yodafone My circumstances were somewhat different in that I went to view an Rcf which was up for £38k, my part x was a My IsF on a 59 plate with low miles low owners. Both the sales guy and his manager came out with the usual patter and drivel, “there’s no market for the isF” ”it’ll go straight to Auction “ ”We don’t discount advertised prices” blah blah blah There are many of these sales people in all marques who seem incapable of judging there customers 🐀

@Yodafone I agree with you although most the Lexus dealers I have had contact with have been far better than my past experiences with the likes of BMW and so on there have been exceptions. Had the same response from Lexus Hatfield a while back for a car there I was interested in, invariably it’s them that loses out with this kind of attitude. Big Rat

@d3ron Deron someone more knowledgeable than me and I’m thinking @ColinBarber to advise as regards the key situation replacement. If it was me I’d not go ahead until such time another key was provided by the supplying dealer in the deal. I’ll go through my stuff for you I think I have some vids as well 👍 Big Rat

Oh and this must be the Worlds most expensive ISF now priced at £38.340 😳 🐀

@d3ron Well done I know of that car featured in a lot back in magazines and tests got some of the mags here in my collection. Few pics for you the first one was from Car magazine the second from Evo.’ Big Rat

@NemesisUK You are such a bad man, can’t be true for a number of reasons...... it was too clean...... wasn’t doing twice the limit.....and the driver didn’t have a phone in one hand.....Whilst gesticulating with the other...... rudely....... Big Rat

Travelling out of Bristol on the A38 at about 3 pm this afternoon saw an absolutely immaculate Grey ISF reg number LM58 YTT not one on my list any of you guys on here know the car. I did an MOT check on it 28k miles from new, any of you guys on here with 58 plate cars got lower miles than that ? Big Rat

@NemesisUK Peter who knows what there processes are at times, these are at times not easy cars to sell I see my old ISF which has been in sale since January has finally been reduced 9 months later. 🐀

I see @Warrington guy Dave car is back on sale at Lexus Hedge End, sale fell through possibly ? Big Rat

@Comedian Yes that’s a very valid point it’s easy to sometimes forget that, I’m guessing that the location is Milbrook haven’t been there since 2000 for the launch of the MR2......... 🐀

Review just popped on YouTube, not much of a review but he certainly liked the car 😄 Big Rat

@FTBBCVoodoo Lee can’t remember if you are going to the soon but not soon enough Peaks meet that @NothernDan has organised..... @Peter P18 Could take you for a spin, I’m guessing there is going to be a long queue..... 😊 🐀

@FTBBCVoodoo Personally I don’t really care what others think about the looks of a car....... being the past owner of a Fiat Panda how could I 🙄 If I went the hot hatch FWD route it would be the Honda, very capable car...... and it’s not German 😂 You are spot on about the exhaust.... oh no here we go again.... great car (sic) ISF but the standard exhaust is pants... Saw it at Goodwood not a nice sound...... Soooooo......dear Mr Quicksilver can you please...... 🐀

@Comedian Bit like you really as regards hearing...... admittedly I’m a just a tiny tad older.... but years of gunfire in the military..... and power tools and nail guns for 30+ years..... when I sing along to my ML tracks..... I sound just like that Pavarotti bloke......well sort of 😕 🐀

@Rabbers Love that post matey 😂 🐀

@FTBBCVoodoo Lee it’s a good list and I suppose given time the Gsf would be on budget. Looking at the cars you’ve mentioned having regard to day to day and family duties with the occasional track day it would have to be the Honda. As you know for track in the main it’s not just about power weight is a massive issue, all the German stuff in your list are just to heavy IMO. The exception is the e46, I’ve had two but they are getting on now and are fragile and best discribed as somewhat needy. Not my money though ‘tis fun doing the man maths 👍 🐀

@mr2lad Graham the Ls looks fantastic as well, I was looking around the one that Lexus Cheltenham have only last Saturday, they have very real presence without the fussy chintzy appearance of the equivalent Merc/BM offerings. Fancy the Rcf route next then you will not regret it, ignore the Clarkson type reviews it’s a fantastic car absolutely love mine. If you see something that appeals and I can help with the history of don’t hesitate to pm me there are a few that are best avoided On the subject of interiors mine is a very pale grey, marks wise so far so good 🤞 Big Rat

@mr2lad Graham love those wheels one of my favourite spoke styles, just stay away from them kerbs 😳 Recently lost patience with the rubbish finish that the ‘ diamond look cut’ that Lexus do on the Rcf and had them refurb mine and Matt blacked....... Big Rat

@FTBBCVoodoo Lee a suspension refresh is a good idea having regard the age and mileage of her, but they really do hide there age well. The only isF I’ve been is @Rusty Crobar Russ’s car I’m not sure the setup he has but I’ve be a passenger in her and been behind her many times and she’s been round the clock and still going strong..... and never and I mean never let it be said that Rusty hangs about..... 😳 Gotta be worth giving him a shout and find out what the set up is........ I guess when we consider doing these things it’s worth considering the cost/benifit of change or is it time for another woman in your life..... I mean Lichelle 😏 So if it’s time to change got another motor in mind ? Big Rat

@Jon B Sounds like just a change of circumstances, she still looks a fine example 😁 🐀

@Linas.P On closer inspection the Gt86 similarity.... I can see that Wake you when and if they brought in a 350..... no chance I’m first for a play with one another engine I like........ 🐀

@NemesisUK Peter it seems that @rayaans is suggesting that something other than popcorn consumption is happening on your sofa........ clearly he has never seen us.......... Big Rat

@NemesisUK Love the above cheered me up no end 😁 🐀
