Big Rat

@FTBBCVoodoo Lee right first time 👍 🐀

@FTBBCVoodoo Lee saw one of your posts on the thread loved it, I don’t have the personality to go on there ...... Out of a number of M cars I had both E46’s M3’s prioved to be the most reliable the Csl was faultless E60 M5 and M335i Convertible or the ‘The Grey Pram’ as Mrs Rat called it were complete pains 🙄 🐀

@Mark G Yeah you are missing something if you zoom the picture.... a lot you’ll spot yourself pointing Percy at the Welsh country side

@FTBBCVoodoo Oi Lee behave your self I helped @Warrington guy Dave source his M4....... and it’s a beauty there are no videos in existence of any traction issues......ask @Flytvr....... Big Rat

7 is way off the mark for Press cars it’s considerably more than that. Many ‘Lexus senior management ‘ allocated cars were used heavily by journalists and Lexus employees for such things as hill climb events and promotional work. When the LC was launched for instance a lot of Rcf & Gsf were pressed into service, excuse the pun for all manner of things including many cars that were on sale. I have a list of almost all of these cars that included photos and videos of what they were being used for. It currently stands at 39 vehicles, this does include the GsF’s. As @Linas.P quite rightly points out it is inevitable these cars are going to be driven in a manner for which they are intended. Big Rat

@Womble72 Paul you could have taken one of those things behind the bike you love so much...... wouldn’t have been early on that 😉 🐀

My figures from Lexus source match those from ‘How many left’ That is 169 RCF with 2 Sorn And 25 Carbon with 1 Sorn, the 4th quarter 2017 and 1st quarter 2018 figures have not been released as yet. As regards the desirability of the few available options mine has Acc/PCs and a Sunroof But no Tvd that was my choice, which I guess is the case for every perspective buyer. As always with such a small pool of cars to choose from some compromise has to be made and it’s a wise move move as well to check the history of the car as a fair number had a very hard early life. Big Rat

@HarryM Honestly this global warming that is one hell of an isolated snow shower........... 🐀

I think the fact remains that they now represent fantastic value for money, as does the ISF for that matter. Big Rat

@65mike Mike I'm old.......past it......get lost easily........ but I still love the noise Well as long as I'm capable of actually hearing it that is ........... 🐀

@FTBBCVoodoo Lee I love that....... Mrs Rat is accompanying me it's something to do with..... Well you've got that Black shiny thing on the driveway....... type of tour 😂 Anyway I was born there matey didn't come to this country till I was 5 so have some memories of then, been back a few times since as I use it as a stopover on the way to and back from Perth to see family reduces the time sat on a plane great place 👍 🐀

@J Henderson Yes RHD Singapore it’s one reason why at one time so many of our stolen vehicles and parts ended there. Im in Singapore next month I shall go to the spot and lay flowers........ and maybe retrieve some bits......to fit to my Rcf........maybe an engine....... or........ Big Rat

Not much you can say really.........except his bag of talent came up empty 🙄 Big Rat

So she's sat there wrapped in the Welsh morning mist and dirt............ 🙄 After her previous day's exercise........ Big. Rat

@Mike Peter Mike I've messaged a friend on here lives North London I've asked him to pm you his forum name is @DAW Big Rat

@Mike Peter Excellent news, Mike I’ll go through my list of RCF owners near you I believe there is one but he is having a Quicksilver fitted shortly I’ll come back to you. Big Rat

@Mike Peter There is a pair of OEM exhausts for sale on eBay if you feel the need but as you say see how you get on with it first. If you decide the switchable is for you then pm me and I will be able to assist. The OEM IS VERY QUIET I’m sure someone on here may be able to provide you with a ride along 👍 Big Rat

@Spacewagon52 Yes that was a good spot by yourself, I used to have B16 RAT some years ago sold it to a vermin control company..... not that Rats are vermin of course.......... 🐀

@Spacewagon52 Great spot that I'll give the Rcf a few more years before I change to the Rx........... mind you I have the the use of the other Rat mobile in the household.............. Here she is next to my isF that was .......☹️ 🐀

@Mike Peter Hi Mike congrats on the purchase, the two systems are not interchangeable parts wise I'm guessing you've got the axle back system which is NOT switchable on cold start up is loud but settles quite quickly. If you want to tone it down immediately just put the car into drive and move off immediately. It really is a fantastic bit of kit just done 500 or so miles in mine in the last 3 days it really is epic. The full switchable system depicted is the thick end of £5K when you add vat. Big Rat

Not a bad read on here...... https://www.pistonheads.com/regulars/ph-spottedykywt/lexus-is-f-spotted/37829
