I know it's a coupe and a couple of quid more, AM V8 anybody ? Big Rat

As Mark has mentioned the VXR8 it was one I had forgotten about, a mate of mine is soon to get into one of these, they are fairly rare as well, there is a pretty good vid on YouTube where one is in contest with a GSF, think it's either Autocar or Auto Express. Manual and auto available as well. Big Rat

Hopefully they will get it sorted for you fella, I think you are are right I was working on a property the other day and there was a C63 on the drive an early one in white with black wheels - you could have a point. i see the the next Lex LS 500 has got a twin turbo V6 petrol , I guess there's a possibility if there is another ISF that will be the engine, or at least a tuned version of. Big Rat

Hi Davi How are you matey, I've got my folding coffee tokens ready for Sunday ! Have you had your steering problem sorted yet ? To answer your post if the 'EFFY' did not exist it would probably be a C63 Saloon for me - I'd find a decent Indy for service and repairs though. Big Rat

Got through to them this after, it's just a check with a top up if required. Big Rat

Hi Guys Mine went in for a major Service on Wednesday at Lexus Bristol. i received when I paid amongst other things in the paper work the check list the tech completed ive just noticed reading it that there is a tick ✅ to the effect the Diff oil has been changed (car at 39k - 40k service completed) Do the more knowledgeable on here me not being one , know is this a requirement at the service completed as because I paid cash at the time I had to have my invoice posted to me which came today -only just opened and there is no mention of this on it or is there listed the oil/seal that presumably would have been used. Or as an alternative is it simply checked for level at this particular service , the check list they use does not make it clear one way or the other. Gonna ring Them Monday any way to clarify. Big Rat

Sorry mate bit late in replying just got back from the pub full of Guinness and Serloin. Yep it's my round for the coffee - mind you Mrs Rat is looking at me now in such away that large coffee ☕️ input is required immediately! Big Rat

Evening Mark hope you are good, this get together seems to be going well , I can smell AV8 coffee already ! Paul

Had mine a year this month, major service at Lexus Bristol yesterday no problems at all which seems the norm for these, F being my first Lexus. Cannot say the same for the other so called premium marquees from personal experience. Big Rat

Just looking at the long range forecast for Kemble on the Sunday dry sunny 5 degrees - wouldn't that be nice ! Big Rat

Hi Mark As you can see finally got round to joining looking forward to Kemble 👍 Paul

Just thought I'd give this thread a quick bump, screen shot below of the Aussie ISF section of the club looks like they are a tad quiet as well 😎 Big Rat

👍 Good man thanx for the chat - talk again. Big Rat

Ah thought that was where you may be heading ,maybe some on here might tag along later in the year for the triangle if it wasn't a family - friends run out , I would be up for it. Big Rat

Glad to see you got those sorted looks like a pukka finish - thanx for the hi. Big Rat

Porsche for some years on most models of 911- Cayman -Boxster made available as an extra PSE, which is a switchable sports system- sounded great, not sure if the one here has it fitted didn't sound like it. Big Rat

Wow you have been busy tasty motor, me and Mrs Rat don't have kids so vehicle type size never been an issue. See from the German loose gravel sign in one of your pics you get about a bit Ring trio was it or did the 3 of you get lost 😂 Big Rat

Thanx very much - it's the pic's of all these tasty motors it's infectious 😜

They are lovely 😊 Evora now that would be on my short of very short lists - Lexus/Toyota engine as well. Plenty of mods available I understand. Big Rat

It's always a difficult one to call with expensive motors have you still got yours- still making my way through others posts for who has what, got a picky ? Big Rat

Thanx Fella I am as I see many are to get a bit more V8 from the exhaust at some stage I've just found that the car and me have really jelled and as they gave me a 3 year warranty I'm somewhat limited. The exhaust on the Turbo was a Europipe stage 2 loud with I think with the 200cel cats, as you know matey difficult to get a good sound from a Turbo engine but my god that was good , ought to be for 3000euros 😬 Big Rat

Thanx for the welcome Stuart, been a car nut since I was a kid - long time - the ' F' is car number 41. Always liked fast/big engined saloons small sample of past rides - this will age me now! V6 Essex Jeff Uren Cortina MK2 V6 Cavalier 24V Senator M5 M3's Never had a Merc or an Audi , after many more years at Chopping at wood - chippy by trade had to scratch the Porsche itch. Couple of Boxster S - 911 4S - 911Gt3- and the last 996 Turbo. Bit of a long reply matey but for me the 'Porsche Paranoia ' was setting in unless you run one of the GT or Turbo cars which have less common issues which can prove to be very expensive , they are all great cars though. Done a bit of research on here see that you like to mod yours , the Turbo had some additions took her up to 500bhp 520lb ft bit of a beast. Had the F a year now done done 9000 miles all its needed was a fuse and that was my fault! None of the above come close for quality, had the plugs done on the F at 32k and they noticed the usual weep from the water pump changed under warranty. i am impressed ! Big Rat

A row of rude looking rumps, automotively speaking of course 😏 Big Rat

As mentioned in my Newbie intro count me in. Big Rat
