@Mark G Righto Matey where we going have you seen a nice pair at dealers for us both, actually make it 3 Silver for me carbon edition preferably tangerine carbon for @Warrington guy and blue for you I’m guessing or maybe red ? 🐀

Oh no just turned 45k today so I’ve decided to take her to the pub for a celebratory shandy 😇 🐀

I bought mine Lexus Sheffield January 2016 30k miles on the clock, they gave me 3 years as part of the deal. 🐀

@Jon_B If it happens Jon be sorry to see you go, personally for those in the know about ‘F’ cars and you are obviously in that small select 😊 group it’s just natural progression. Now if you find yourself jostling in the dealership with a northern bloke trying to part x his white is-F that’ll be @Warrington guy Dave 😂. Remember if you do it..... pictures pictures 👍 🐀

@Warrington guy I'm p.....d sat here watching A bridge too far...... Mrs Rat told me to do something constructive and stop shouting at the telly....... 🤗 🐀

@BUG4LIFE Hi Rhys For me I always buy on condition many will say mileage is not so important and these cars do wear well, but the truth is mileage means wear ! So try if you can afford it if the car is a keeper look for the lower mileage buying the best will cost but it's more of an enjoyable ownership experience. There really are very few common problems, water pumps can weep they do not fail most would probably have been done by now, discs and pads from Lexus are expensive so check the life left in these. The front tyres wear on the inner shoulder another check point, there is an after market cure that some on here are starting to fit. There has never been a reported instanceof engine/gearbox failure or any major component the odd steering rack and radiator but again this is very rare. The whole car just seems to hold up very well indeed and they really are a wolf in semi sheep disguise, they are quick but still relatively economical, and to sum if you come across a really shabby uncared for example unless it's very very cheap walk away, parts are expensive as one would expect for a car that was £60K new. Remember there are only about 212 left in the UK so you may have to travel for the right one. If you find one I'm confident that someone on here will know something about the cars past. Big Rat

@mike m How right you are, enjoy yourself over there, it’s an interesting colour on the Van Tectonic Silver....... no points for guessing why I bought it there then 😉 🐀

I've been reading this with interest great work, when it comes to removing difficult engine parts, this vid is a must see....... Big Rat

@mike m Mike got to be honest matey my cars will always want for nothing mechanicaly and I'm ok with a bit of wash and polish, but the British weather after all the time and effort brakes your heart 🤗 Big Rat

@mike m Just to 'drift' back onto what after all is your topic Mike........... I think this is a bit much celebrating what is a fantastic finishing job to your car and showing 'digit' disrespect to all us monochrome spectators is a bit much you know 🤣 Big Rat

@NemesisUK Peter no probs you can lead and we will all follow, I'll be directly behind you, I've just changed my own brake pads so you've nothing at all to worry about 🤣 🐀

@Jon_B Look forward to that arrange it nearer the time 👍 🐀

@Jon_B Jon if it fits in with your day of the meet there is a few of us from Zummerset going up if you want to join in. Big Rat

@NemesisUK I knew it you've sabotaged or pics mods this is carism......... is that a word 😂 🐀

@Flytvr Yes thankyou she does look resplendent sat there just waiting for her next trip to a pub..... I mean building site..... ‘tis Friday afternoon after all 😂 🐀

So I've just had a dream come true what's better than having one SILVER is-F at your house.......... yes you've got it 2 🤗 Especially when the second one is nicely detailed and hiding the dirt on yours 😂 Big Rat

@Flytvr Dunno mate but one things for sure this ones suspension is certainly f.......... 🤗 🐀

Looks like a Prius to me but rats aren't known for there eyesight 🐁

@Comedian Now being an ex military man I have just the picture to gladden your heart after those painful sums........... Big Rat

@Flytvr Ooh err now if @Mark G happened to have been German this subject hedge matter would be something akin to 'Don't mention the war " Big Rat

@Comedian Goes some way to explain The Lincolnshire connection maybees ! It being the county of many airfields, you will be most welcome anyway and talking about cars........ as a group I'm not sure much of that happens 😂 Big Rat

@emjay82 There are some 'blue' members on here wish there tyres had a no rating for wet grip 😊 Big Rat

Well as I mentioned earlier in the thread I'm with Adrian Flux took up with them a few eeeks ago, I messaged Dan and one of his members of staff contacted me the next working day. I had all the necessary documents from them within 24 hours. So I fill out the descriptive forms take 7 pictures and then a decision is made on the agreed value, the extra refundable cost if we agree /disagree is £65.00. i will keep you posted on the outcome. Big Rat

@Womble72 Paul just the sort of journey to keep you bonded 😁 That is until you see all those fast jets ! Looking forward to seeing you both 👍 Big Rat

@Mark G Loads on it on Pistonheads all you have to do is go onto the site as Harvey Mushman......... 🐀
