If you need the sunroof open to hear he QS exhaust, I’d get down to Specsavers. They do hearing aids these days. 😜

🤣

After not having a sunroof on the ISF, it was a definite on my requirements list for the RCF when changing.  I agree its a personal thing but I love the extra light and I can hear a little bit more of the Quicksilver exhaust 😀

Next time Jon! We’ll do another one providing this one is a success. Already thinking about the next best location 😀

Thanks Dan @NothernDan.  Look forward to that 🙂

Sorry guys, can't make this one 😞

Some time ago, before i had my ISF, a good friend of mine very kindly lent me his CLS63, which was the 6.2 V8 and it was epic.  The noise and the experience was fab and i looked at one seriously before i bought the ISF.  I understood that the ownership costs were significantly higher than the Lexus which put me off but it was a lovely car.

Fantastic sounding exhaust @Cezar B.  Looking forward to hearing it in person 😀

Wow, what you getting Dav?

Great to see you all guys.  Look forward to the next 😀

Done.  See you sunday

Great video.  That is one awesome ISF @Peter P18 😀

Picked her up this afternoon, I knew I'd missed her journey is usually an hour or so back from Cheltenham took three hours......... Anyway the boys at Lexus have done a cracking job on her and I'm immensely pleased, so a Big thankyou to Lawrence and Paul the techie guys and Sam and Alex in service for  all there hard work, in getting the colours and finish I wanted.

So with our further ado here she is.........

Looking good Paul @Big Rat.  I don’t need to worry about brake dust on mine as i still cant get out of the garage to drive anywhere 😫.  Think I will have a complete sense of humour failure if I cant take her to Goodwood on Saturday.  Going there is the CMAX just isn’t going to be the same 😳

@Big Rat Great stuff Paul👍🏻

As Paul said a brilliant system - I seem to drive everywhere locally now with the window down just to listen to it - fantastic sound!!

Also well worth the trip to Lexus Cheltenham. Only dealership I’ve ever used where I had a cup of coffee in the workshop while watching it being fitted & chatting with Paul the tech who was fitting it. The Dealer Principle Tim & Alex the Service Manager were all there when Paul fired the car up for the first time to enjoy the sound - they are all a great bunch of people. 

Couldn't agree more @DAW

@Comedian That would be good Sean, last year i went round the supercar car park where people pay £200 to park their cars for the day.  Some fantastic motors  🙂

@Jon_BJon I’m going, but not on the Saturday for the 1st time this year. Been every year since 2004 with a group of mates.  Usually do Thursday to Saturday but this year didn’t work out for the Saturday unfortunately.  Weather is looking great which is a result as last 2 years were not that good.  Enjoy the day👍🏻

@Big Rat Paul I’m sure you will have a great day.  Brilliant event with great access to the cars - cross between a hill climb with pretty much every form of motor sport & a motor show.  There is a lot to see  & it’s a big place, but if it works out give me a shout 👍🏻

 

@DAW  Hope you have a good one.  I agree its a great even, its a lot to try and see in a day.  Its where I first saw the RCF a few years ago 🙂

Watch out for the traffic!

Yes @Flytvr very true.  Last few years i have left at 6 and been in there by 9 but that was a Sunday granted.

@Big Rat Hope you have a good one on the Thursday Paul.  I’m going with my son Dan and both really looking forward to it.  It’s always a great day out 👍

Hi all, anybody going to the Festival of Speed this year?  I've got tickets to go on the Saturday.

Can’t you get some of your staff to carry the car out? Probably need about half your staff - say 30 to lift the RCF however 😜

Never thought of that @Flytvr.  Will have to give it a try 🙂

@Stuno1 As regards the wheels question you posed Stu my car goes in tomorrow to Lexus Cheltenham for a major service and some personalisation, my wheels have been diamond cut once before so I want to preserve 'the one more cut ' for the future so I'm having them fully stripped and powder coated in a dark Anthracite with a slight satin sheen to the surface I didn't want a glossy finish.

And the calipers are going from black to 'Brembo Yellow' I'll post up a thread with lots of pics when I get her back.

Look forward to seeing that @Big Rat.  My car is trapped in the garage currently as the drive is being done and due to the lovely weather, they cant pour the concrete so i cant get it out due to the clearence required at the gates. Ahhhhhhhh 🤪

@Big Rat, what I've just realised is that it was that Dan's 6th Birthday and he is 15 in August 😮

Please excuse the shirt, but it was a great day

I always wanted a 69 Charger 440RT.  Hired one for my sons birthday a few years ago now.  What a noise and what a size 😀

I can make this one - woohoo 😀

@Flytvr I would be interested in protecting my RCF with ngenco.  Where did you get this done?  I note that there is a place in Bristol that do it but would welcome any recommendations.  Front of my RCF is still in good shape, there is a couple of tiny chips but you have to go looking for them so now would be the obvious time to protect it.

Sunroofs love mine.....being vertically challenged  means it’s irrelevant......

Me too.  Especially now with the new exhaust.  Open up and more noise 👍😀
