Fair enough, though it’s an email from a democrat leaning organisation so could be considered somewhat biased. Try the podcast, it’s an interesting listen….

Come on, that’s half true at best! You should listen to Joe Rogans podcast where he discusses it at length….

Having ran the EBC pads, I’d call them an upgrade…..

Having been a member of multiple car forums over the years, the Lexus owners club is by far the most balanced I’ve ever encountered. I very much enjoy reading differing opinions without it descending into playground tit for tat. I have found myself becoming ever more cynical of the media over the last few years, having experienced first hand how the press sometimes peddle half-truths to fit a narrative. I say let America give Trump another go, that’s what democracy is all about…what’s the worst that could happen 🤣

Perhaps toast on toast??? (With cheese in between) I’ll toast to that!!

I’ve used EBC to good effect. Redstuff are on the car at the moment though yellows are also good.

I’m pretty sure that in my RC, the car bings and bongs warning me about the battery charge. I too had a close call only yesterday eating fridge raiders at the beach, with the heated seat on! FYI it seems that 6x fridge raiders = 1x kebab

I can imagine they will continue to drop but the RCFs will be propping them up no doubt. They can’t get too low or it could drive F-car prices down! I do think your right about enthusiasts starting to appreciate internal combustion cars too, there is certainly a perception that the clock is ticking….

I’m fast approaching 40 and have indeed started pondering on life and my ‘lot’ so far. I’ve got a wife and 2 girls along with a job I enjoy. Don’t have too many regrets. I do however have lots I still want to do with my life and have recently started to think about the future and what it may look like. Pensions seem to be important though I’ve done well so far and plan to continue in that vein. Additionally, I’d like to move into the sticks proper, have a wood and stream so I can play at being off grid later in life and connect with nature. Not too sure a lambo appeals, though a nice LS or S-Class does get me going. As for an affair, I struggle to keep one woman happy, never mind two!!

Having owned an RCF and ISF, im not convinced that the RCF or GSF are in any way lesser cars…. If anything, the RCF and GSF are improved evolutions of the original ISF. History will look kindly on them all….

I’ll see what I can pull out, though they were silver, rather than darker shadow chrome.

I had silver on my red ISF, suited the car much more than the OEM colour

Should have invested in a snow plow….🤣

Hi, I’d suggest looking at the link below. I fitted mine without issue and it’s been brilliant. Same stereo as you with the larger screen too.

Lovely car, shame to see it going. Hopefully the new owner will be one here before long. Are you selling the parts removed from the car? ‘vultures start to circle’

That’s interesting, I had no such issues dropping the car on Swift springs…. Wonder why that is….

Good news. Any news what would have caused them to be out of alignment in the first place?

That’s a shame, if you don’t mind me asking, what in particular has put you off??

Wow!! What a colour…..

Squeaky brakes are a thing but the rest, not aware of them being an issue. Never personally had an issue with radar cruise and I daily mine approx 12k miles per year…. Seems a real shame and very rare of an RCF. It may be worth you logging into the app as any Lexus work will show in the service/maintenance section. It may also be worth asking them directly if it’s had any work done, either by themselves or others that they are aware of. Gives them a chance to be straight with you. If they aren’t, just helps the argument to hand back. You can be pretty sure when they bought it they would have done their due diligence so may have some info they are holding back.

I’m a worrier so this would cripple me! I’m on top of a hill but could imagine any water ingress could have similar issues….

I’ve got EBC red stuff pads on the front of my RCF and they generate less dust and squeal than OEM. If I remember correctly they were around £80-£100.

I’d add that having driven an RC300h a few times, an RCF retains all the positives you have mentioned (and some of the negatives) whilst having a truly special engine…. It’s even more characterful and soulful that you would think!

I’ve got Eibach spacers on mine, I think 20mm front and 15mm rears. RCF wheels however so not sure on standard offset for RC300h. Would recommend them though, been on nearly 3yrs without any issues

Was a pleasure to meet you, the car looks great! Get in touch when you’re local again….
