Big Rat

Well ‘The Rat’ was on the ropes with one or two naysayers on here about raising the profile of The is-F I won’t mention any names @Flytvr oops 😬 But wouldn’t want to celebrate to early either, but with if I may say so a great bunch of people on here well apart from that little builder bloke from Somerset can’t remember his name but @Big Rat you know who you are 🙄 Anyway I was wondering if there ought to be an ‘F’ car meet next year as the is-F is ten years old round about March time what do others think, needs to be somewhere central and although I don’t have a family it ought to be perhaps a family oriented location ? Big Rat

@08ISF Graham as regards your spare wheel topic, I contributed to a topic in the RCF Forum on the exact same problem a month or two ago. There may be solution on there for you as the disc calliper clearance issue precludes the ISF wheel. Have a look it’s a good read 👍 😁

@08ISFGreat detailed write up Matey and I’m glad your enjoying her, a suggestion attached re your brakes question, all from a car from the London area I believe may be worth a punt to get original items. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEXUS-GS-F-SPORT-BREMBO-BRAKE-CALIPERS-PADS-SET-ROTORS-FRONT-REAR-/322853479761 Big Rat

@Lexusman007 Next time force him to stop and get the ref number 😂 🐀

@MNMJ I’m just getting a little thread together about the Mesa Red cars, now I have a strong suspicion that your old car was the one stolen in a House burglary in Manchester in July and recovered a few hours later and returned to its owner who still has it. Ill do a little piece in the week 👍 Big Rat

@Warrington guy Dave you win today’s prize in tha it seems you’ve discovered the only other Mesa Red ‘F’ in the UK. SK10 ZXU The Car originally from Edinburgh but now Manchester, @Flytvr will be beside himself with pleasure with your find and a slab of Tetleys is on its way to you from him 😂 Now all I need is the reg of the Red one that was stolen and back with the garage owner near you and I’ve got the lot so when your passing next have a peek 👍 🐀

@Lexusman007 No matey that was @Flytvrin his Silver one he lives there but never washes it 😂 🐀

@Nick W858 Pleased for you Nick, perfectly understandable paranoia with two V8 Beasties 😁 🐀

@Peter P18 And I was considering moving over towards the south east of this country as the BBC would have you believe the weather there is on par with California 😁 Good to see it all progressing for you you’ve obviously got the insurance aspect all tucked up just done an agreed on mine, just in case. Big Rat

@Peter P18 Been looking at the build as it goes on you must getting like a kid at Christmas waiting for the off ! Can I ask a couple of questions ? With all the gubbins in front of the rad added with the extra performance available do you think it’s going to impede airflow and therefore heat issues ? Secondly are you going to go down the agreed value insurance once she’s done. Big Rat

@Ace8800You're someone who has gained a fair bit of knowledge now of these cars being a serial buyer 😁 Its invaluable to get to know your car the feel and have the ability to recognise when she's not herself 😏 And I agree entirely receipts in conjunction with the stamps invaluable. Big Rat

@Womble72 Spot on Paul, Silver is Silver I'll get Mrs Rat on the case, Christmas is coming 🤗 Thanx Matey 🐁

@paul99Just to sooth some of your fears fuel consumption,I had 34mpg once................. yep that's it once 😁 Tyres I can get a set of OEM Bridgestones fitted for six hundred notes, some on here go posh and buy Michelin and such like 🙄😂😂 Servicing well if it's under warranty with the 'Big Lexi' you'll just have to take it on the chin but to be honest it ain't that bad 👍 Value wise show me a better rival and I'll show you a liar 🤥 Big Rat

@s_a15 How do I put this Matey I rang and asked him 😉 Big Rat

@Ace8800 Great pics M thanx for posting them such a shame when you see the state of the red one now . Big Rat

@mike m Yep my wife goes quiet as well when she gets into the passenger seat of the 'F' with me says a little prayer crosses herself and then puts her hand close to my gentleman vegetables snd says very authoritatively "Now were not going to hurt each other are we " 😂😂😂 🐀

@mike m Such a bad man 😁 🐀

@s_a15 It’s not the Manchester dealers car the boss has still got his. Big Rat

@Trevor OwlettAppreciated Trevor please mention us to the new owner 👍 Big Rat

@Lexusman007 Phew you had me worried then 😊 🐀

@Lexusman007 All are welcome Rich look forward to seeing you and the car again 👍 Big Rat

@s_a15 As you know I was aware of that incident but there is no registration number to be had so I was unable to make the link, perfectly plausible though. Big 🐀

@Trevor Owlett Thanks for the clarification Trevor, with so few for sale at anyone time the more info the better, good luck with the sale 👍 🐀

@Warrington guy Dave your right there 👍 🐀

@Womble72 You spend to much time looking under dirty trains to worry about that 😁 🐀
