@alter ego Don't you worry about it matey I'm 60 you just ask @Comedianon here about my eyesight 😂 🐀

@mike mI agree with you with the diesel aspect, I use Transits now and you have no choice, bought a diesel car once BMW M535d hated it sold it after 4 months, I understand that Vw will be pitting 2.0Turbo Petrols in some of their T vans next year, maybe some manufacturer will follow with Petrol replacements for some of their range as time goes on. Well until we're all electrfied or driverless which ever comes first 😂 Big Rat

So who would consider wrapping their car in a colour that's not available as standard, now there are a few on here with..... let's start with Rcf,s and I know certain colours are more popular than others @Comedian has his blue one and @Flytvr his White Carbon.......... so for instance you didn't like the White carbon you've bought would you consider this colour......... Yes it's a white Carbon underneath Now if it was me and I wanted a bright Carbon example I'd be happy with the standard Orange, what do others think Big Rat

@EvoStevo How's that Gsf behaving herself I hope 😂 🐀

@mike m it's such a shame the more conventional 4x4 by Toyota are not available in choice of numbers, I had this dilemma some years back and bought a long wheelbase Nissan Patrol to pull my twin axle trailer and mini digger they were a good car very capable but no 6 pot engine here. I switched to Nissan Navaras after this, would you consider Nissan on the basis there's more choice ? Big Rat

@alter ego Geoff if you look at the thread I started on the previous page October 23rd regarding this car where the only joined here to sell it for the high teens. No takers He sold it to the trade where it went to a Toyota dealer up North for £20995.00..... No takers Now it's at Lexus at a Lexus dealer for nearly 25 k it looks a great low mileage example with full history Big Rat

@Warrington guy The white one at Liverpool is stevoevo off of here's car, he just chopped it in for a Gsf. 🐀

@mike m To go from a vehicle with high level of reliability to one of these, though fully accepting your reason for a change is IMO bonkers matey, the reliability is nothing short of shocking even a quick google will put you off it before you can get to the bottom of the page. The repair costs for the kind of issues they suffer with and there are many are astronomical, get that isF to knock hill quickly 😂 So now that I've rained on your parade look at this guy's vids in his isF at knockhill he's on his second isF he's not a member, on here hopefully it'll 'relight your fire ' Oh and the first one is the same 'exercising the IsF in the South of France Enjoy and stay with us 👍 Big Rat

If anybody is interested in this car I have the previous mainland reg numbers and some history of the car AG58FHC and DS04VYS it was originally registered in Armagh. And if anybody is wondering it is not the White ISF that was stolen and recovered last year that hasn’t surfaced that was GN58TFX. Big Rat

@Comedian Sean I have no problem with that matey, but I’m over your way end of January, you know how I feel about Lincolnshire 😊 Im going to be staying at Woodhall Spa which is only a stones throw from you ? Big Rat

@mike m Feels twice that on this roof..............😬 Big Rat

@Comedian So Sean I admire your tenacity, so I've applied some of mine sat up on the roof of this lovely house taking in some rays freezing my b.... off, I've flipped through all the threads on this matter AND we know that the isF space saver doesn't fit BUT will it useing those spacers you've found........ If those roof trusses don't arrive soon.... I'm off to the cafe I can see in the distance We really need to try this I feel as if it did its win win on many fronts boot space, costs, ease of availability of steel Isf wheel jack brace etc. What do you think ? Big Rat

@Comedian Actually Sean I was going to frame it and present it to the new owner! 🐀

@Mark GHave no fear matey should this shocking expense befall you your trusty crew will carry you bodily to the below establishment to save you the lengthy journey from your gaff , opposite, and ply you with food and drink to recover.............

Yes topic divergence, I’m notorious for it 😉 🐀

@Linas.P I watched again and saw that which confirms it, so you don’t have to change your car to an isF you could mod yours like this....... Big Rat

@mike m Empty car park in your neck of the woods and replicate it for us and post a vid ! 🐀

@Linas.P Well Linas you win well done just found it on there website, now I’ve just got find a way to get your prize to you before it melts ! Big Rat

Well their not ISF's but still great driving on an ice rink, a free lolly to the first person to I'd the Lexus model 🤗 Big Rat

Two years next month, a fuse in the glovebox and that was my fault 39p 😳 🐀

@ShahporShahpor I have a contribution to this thread and it's in defence of Lexus as you see @Flytvr really should be fessing up as to why his seat failed and I have documented evidence and here it is........ oh by the way he is the big unit demolishing the cake I have no idea who the little old man is stood next to him Big Rat

@grantwils Grant absolutely, I needed 4 new summers for my isF back in July at my local tyre place an independent as it happens and they are always happy to do a deal, so I personally like the OEM Bridgestones for my isF and I also needed a full set of Winters for my spare set. Due to the time of year I was able to get Michelin winters and my preferred Bridgestone all in for £1079.79. A massive saving the Michelin's alone were coming in at £802.02 originally. Bug Rat

@Flytvr Did somebody ask for me 🐀

I won't bore people on here to much as I've mentioned it a number of times before, but having worked as a tyre development driver for Michelin on performance fast road use of Summer and Winter tyres covering huge mileages in an assortment of vehicles, I'm a great advocate for winters and summers and trust me the benefits are huge. Buy yourself some steels or used alloys for the winters, who cares about aesthetics it's safety that's paramount You extend the life of both types by 50% if you store them correctly Winters are superior in wet conditions in 7 to 10 degree temperatures and far superior under 7 degrees Braking distances in wet and greasy conditions are far better with winters Buy your winters in the summer months, it's cheaper It is in the conditions winters were designed for they are a great contribution to road safety example...... if you leave a greater distance between you and the vehicle in front and presupposing the vehicle behind you is on summers, you can extend his breaking distance by your greater ability to stop slow And manoeuvre Replace your winters when they are approaching 5 years old irrespective of tread depth, in any event they do not function as well below 5mm All of us on here know how expensive it is to buy and run our Lexus vehicles irrespective of their age makes sense to me to go that one step further, after all the tyre is our only contact with the road surface........ and it's about the size of the palm of your hand.

@Flytvr I was going to offer to carry his bags for him but............ you know how it is with work........Rcf.......Rcf....... 🐀
