I see the car he was driving was a 66 plate GSF I thought they now have adjustable suspension of some discription ? Big Rat

I had an M6 as a service loan car with that engine when they first came out, I thrapped the t..s off it all day, Mrs Rat was very patient I seem to remover the fuel gauge went down like the second hand on a watch 😂 Big Rat

Ah rugby that's different you sir are excused ✊️

Mr London Mayor will soon put a stop to that 😂 While us petrol blokes will be fine lol Big Rat

Noooooooooooo you can't say that 🤣 Actually I can understand that they are really tumbling in value the early ones around the low 30k I believe, havent heard of any persistent problems with them either, personally I've had to many M cars to go there again 😏 Big Rat

I thought this deserved its own post, though I did consider putting on some of the topics that have been hot in the forum during the last 2 days It highlights and emphasises much that many have been saying in the these last two days, it's beautifully shot and is only a few days old enjoy Big Rat http://www.topgear.com/videos/chris-harris-drives/chris-harris-drives-lexus-gs-f-vs-bmw-m5

I've not heard particularly good things about the Jag build quality in the smaller cars, have spoken with a couple of nearish neighbors both have petrol XE's, less than 12-14 months old with repeated small to medium problems with less than interested dealers. Shame as on paper - power - looks they are alternatives to 3 series A4 and the like, owning a Mercedes the dealerships would stop that if I was in the market for the newish big engine stuff, Audi nope same reasons. The BMW as @Chuckie478 mentions with competition pack have better suspension control than the 'standard M3/M4. Big Rat

@linas I like detailed posts such as this because it shows others on the forum what ever Lexus they drive the car knowledge some on here have, and are happy to impart that knowledge for i think it Benifits all and is the lifeblood. Good post. Big Rat

You know how easily I'm lead................. 🤡 Big Rat

Yeah that's right oh by the way have you seen my coffee mug 😂

I realised it I suppose a couple of years ago when we went as a group to the Ring, I had a 911 Gt3 and there were some other similar powered cars as well. One of the group had a Caterham something or other can't remember the spec but it was a lot less than we had in BHP it was how do I put this........... very one sided 🤣 Big Rat

You win top trumps matey, now you've changed your profile picture do you like my new contender @Flytvr Big Rat

@Mark G Now there speaks the voice of experience, a man after my own heart, hang on a minute I don't mean like that....... 😂

@Mark G You could be right there Mark this was @Flytvr Davis face when they said initially his steering wasn't covered by the warranty 😂y

Yes they we're boxy but the 240GLT had something about it, but naughty for Volvo having a car with the letters G and T in its name 😂 Big Rat

My personal view is having had many differing petrol turbo charged engines V's straights boxer and so on, I fully accept downsizing/emissions and so on but I just love no ifs ,no buts the simplicity that is normally aspirated. But I know if I want to continue to drive the kind of vehicles I enjoy I will have to change the ISF eventually,I've not mentioned any other manufacturer or model because out of all the current contenders - nothing appeals, happy with the 'F' and as I've said on here before if it's to be something more modern I will bide my time for a GSF. And the fact remains if you what to go quicker than a normally aspirated 5.0V8 takes you on public roads, now here is the controversial comment invest in some high quality driver training, and practice at it and implement when the road conditions allow. It works believe you me. Big Rat

Now this was one of their better efforts 🤓

See you hail from Gods own, Elvington another one of my favourites different era but great museum 👍 🐀

@Verbout I need new glasses, I was at RAF Cosford drooling over that only a few months ago, one of the many aircraft museums I like to frequent in the 'F ' of course ! Big Rat

This Australian bloke went the expensive route for his exhaust but my God it sounds good

She's no garage queen that's for sure @Verbout , always serviced on time and looked after but any weather any time any excuse in fact, it's still an event for me, wish I'd found Lexus years ago 😏 What is that aircraft on your member picture ? Bug Rat

Now if you had these fitted spend more time driving less time polishing........ perhaps
