@DAW in the very unlikely event I bought one it would have to be latest for me as I’d want the indy rear suspension 🤓 🐀

@ComedianAbsolutely an engine bay is a very hostile environment and any external component is going to start showing its age no matter the quality.......... bit like me really over 45 years of being outside in muddy holes or up high..... sooner or later bits start to fail...😳 Big Rat

@Flytvr Yes I see the supporters are in somewhat in a hurry to leave at the end as well......... Big Rat

@DAW David great right up on the. ‘R’ I am to old..... aren’t I...... am I....surely I am......oh bloody hell I used to be indecisive 🤷‍♂️ 🐀

@FTBBCVoodoo I get your point Ive owned some munters in the past had a Focus Rs 5pot before the isF certainly no oil painting but as you say 20-25k is one thing 35+ for the Honda........ noooooooo. Again as you say 20k that's another matter........ after all I could say it's Mrs Rat's car just taking it for a service......... or......... filling it up with fuel....... or......... you get my drift 🤡 🐀

The Honda is a great car no doubt about it, with many fine attributes........ but looks IMO is not one of them, why would a volume car manufacturer with a successful vehicle on its hands alienate such large numbers of potential buyers design in some much stupid pointless add ons to the exterior. Ive ridden in one of the latest ones many times it's a fine car and would have considered one but I'm to old........ ☹️ Big Rat

@ColinBarber I believe you are correct had e-mails back now fro Lexus Perth WA who confirm this as when trying to order for Australian customers the RC wheel with these part numbers turns up and DOES NOT FIT, they have been instructed not order in future when requested. Big Rat

@Jgtcracer I know I knows 🤡 🐀

The parts for these car are not cheap they never have been after all as we all know it was a 60k when new so the running costs are the same now as they were then.......more or less. I do agree with @Mark G synopsis of the future for these cars buy it.... look after it..... keep it..... this one came on sale today many of us know it and it is a nice car still on its previous LOC members private plate as well....... https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201803094412654?advertising-location=at_cars&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=New&radius=1500&make=LEXUS&postcode=ba11rj&model=IS F&sort=sponsored&page=2 Ive some pictures of the car from a meet a while back here's one....... Big Rat

@mike m I understand if you can't say but there is a dealer of prestige motors not that far from you and one of the guys who has some involvement with the dealership is on his on his 2nd or 3rd isF, I don't believe he's on here but if you go on YouTube he goes by the name of ' nevertolateinav8' loads of footage on road and track both here and abroad in his is'Fs. Just wondering........... Woukd you be welcome back in an LC no probs as far as I'm concerned, after all not like it's a Volvo is it Big Rat

@mike mCar trade funny old business always has been always will....... now us builders much simpler trade to deal with and in my case emphasis on the word simple As regards the isF got a cracking price for mine some weeks ago at a Lexus dealership, and if I may be so bold so did @Warrington guy Dave at a non franchise dealership at about the same time so many factors come into play....... and you know what the best one from the sellers perspective is if you don't like what you hear you simply walk away....... Big Rat

@Toothy David that's fantastic thank you 😊 🐀

To all fired off an email to Tim at Lexus Cheltenham yesterday with all the point you've raised regarding times parking etc will report back as soon as I receive a reply. Big Rat

@Toothy David I'm just posting at the top of the page on the pinned post 👍 🐀

@Steviebee Matey there are in fact 2 very low mileage White cars and I know them both well. In fact they are for sale at dealers very close to me. Temptation is an evil very difficult to resist....... Big Rat

@Toothy David sorry should have said the guy on Pistonheads his forum name on there is. 2manycars He seems from his threads a genuine guy perhaps a message to him through that medium may bear fruit. Big Rat

@Toothy David no it’s not so please do post away the more the merrier, and for anybody on Pistonheads there is a guy there with an amazing collection of cars one of which is an Lfa. Im not on there but if anybody reading this is may want to have a root around for me. Big Rat

@Flytvr Hey Davi did you get all that Sean will be asking questions later, and test papers are being sent out Big Rat

I've been trying on the various European eBay's for these wheels make a great winter wheel me thinks 🤔 🐀

Got a fabulous deal at Lexus Cheltenham, really enjoying the car, fuel pump all done years more happy motoring it is then 😁 Big Rat

That is a nice looking wheel that does suit the Rcf IMO, there is a 3rd style that is not available here but has been in all other markets since 2014 for the RcF and was featured on some of the Goodwood festival cars in 2015, shown here on the Grey car in the top picture, the other two cars showing the 3rd design which is very popular in Europe, maybe it's because it's easier to clean !

Nice pics Charlie just make sure if you trade her that you bargain hard for a decent px you know what these dealers are Big Rat

@FTBBCVoodoo No Lee the other car is my Trusty Transit ! 🐀

@FTBBCVoodooOf course you could always buy all the standard stuff I have for sale and have a fabricator sort you something custom, I don't want that much for it all and I'd deliver it to you in the price were not that far apart, pm if your interested 👍 Big Rat

@FTBBCVoodoo There are one or two vids on YouTube of them Lee, no doubt you've seen them they do look well made. 🐀
