@emjay82 Sorry to hear that Matey, I understand that ‘Blue’ is glamping champagne style over the two days, perhaps you could escape and spend the night under canvas with him 😳 No one will mention this to Mrs Mark as we all know you were doing this for the greater ‘F’ cause 🐀

@Toothy David good idea the poll how do I do that on here senior moment time 🙃 Big Rat

To all you patient people the 'F' car 10 year meet is confirmed it is the weekend of 21st/22nd April 2018 and the venue is going to be at Lexus Cheltenham and not Coventry. I know this not as central as some may have hoped but the event is going to make up for the extra travel some will have to do. The whole shared Lexus/Toyota site will be turned over to the event so as well as the Lexus performance car angle there is also going to a large Toyota performance input of vehicles from the past and the present. The LFA is confirmed for the event, an unknown Gazoo race car or cars will be present as well as GSF RCF and isF Gt86 and so on, it's being held over both days to enable those who can't just fit in a one day event. Much work has gone into this by the DP at Lexus Cheltenham Tim Huxley and his team there and those of us who have been to previous events they've organised know these guys are about the cars as much as any of us on here, as a far few members of staff have or do own the cars we drive as well as partaking in various forms of motorsports as well. If it's possible MOD's @Steve that this post could be stuck and remain at the top of the page until after the event and replicated on the events page ? Looking forward to it and also putting some more faces to names I will be there for both days myself. Big Rat

The civic does draw a lot of attention, I've been a passenger in one that a friend owns a number of times and if I was a hot hatch man making a decision purely on the dynamics of the thing and overlooked the er......... looks I'd have one they really are very good. Last time out we stopped for fuel and a group of lads came over all smiles asking to take pictures and so using words like sick..... wicked....innit bruv....... ah well they we are just thought I'd mention it 😬 Big Rat

@Flytvr Always thought you were deluded...... Silver a nice colour please...... black is the new way.... Big Rat

@emjay82 Now have you ever seen me drink coffee we'll have you........ As an aside now you've mentioned @Flytvr I see his IsF has gone off the Lexus Gatwick site now, and Cheltenham may have sold mine to a guy who's running a V8 Monaro, clearly a man with taste when it comes to cylinder count 🤓 🐀

My fuel pump recall all done couple of hours......... I never touched the biscuits and cakes....... coffee..... Well done Lexus Cheltenham Tim, Karl, Sam and Alex a great bunch And a tank of motion lotion 😁 Big Rat

@wantaisf Jim the problems you've identified don't seem insurmountable considering the price and the remaining warranty other than the drivers seat, they have exhibited an issue that was in the bottom of the frame not as you've described but in any event can be expensive to rectify but it is rare. If it has had an accident and it's just confined to some panel realignment and paint rectification then that may not hurt to much. As regards the service if the remaining warranty is to be maintained then Lexus will have to do it, makes sense to me, post warranty it's another matter. As always you pays your money you takes your choice if someone wants low miles and lovely there are some at Lexus ! If this car is in someone's budget then if the car is fundamentally sound it becomes a bit of a project. Big Rat

@Flytvr Patience is my only virtu

@Flytvr Dav stop worrying Ive made a pone call for you..............they're specialised in plastic fires 😂 Big Rat

@Flytvr I know I know is300 😉

@Mattmech Matt there is absolutely nothing in 'The Rat' files matey as regards that kind of behaviour 🤗 🐀
