….having very recently sold my Lexus LS 400 2000 / X ( Serie’s 4 ) on here, I am now releasing the original Leather Steering Wheel for sale ! the interior trim colour (grey leather) was Code 15 - thus The Wheel is finished in black leather to match the dash and door top’s. in my opinion, The Wheel is in outstanding condition with the leather showing no tear’s, rip’s, dent’s or discolouring ! ( following image’s refer ). please note: the sale of this Leather Wheel will not include the airbag or centre pad / horn push panel. the price will include ‘signed for’ delivery (2nd class) to your requested address within The United Kingdom, only. The Price ?…………………just, £80 !! please do call me on 07886 533021 or pm. ( Scottish Border’s ). kind regard’s anthony ps: I know what you are thinking and, no, I did not sell the LS without a steering wheel 😲 - I personally imported, from the US, an OEM Wood / Leather Wheel ! ( £220 landed ! ).

….malcolm, thank you….. currently, The Buyer, a Club Member, has requested anonymity. he, she other may well change their decision soon. anthony

….ok guy’s, you can stand down now - that last message was fine - we’ll print that ! ….we are ‘ keyboard to safe ‘ now, yeah ? - sure the green light is on, ok ? ok ! you know the only item I wanted to post to The Gang, but never did, was that limerick told by Max Miller, the famous comedian, live on a gig back in 1937…. you know the one….. Jack and Jill went up the hill, just like two ***** linnet’s. Jill came down with half’s crown, …………………………………………..she was only up there two minute’s ! 😲😲 why did’nt I post it ? would have been wiped within the hour ! …er, that green keyboard light has gone out, now………..

…….FLASH !……….FLASH !……….FLASH !……….FLASH !……….FLASH !……….FLASH !……. ….my year 2000 Lexus LS 400 has now left the building…….☹️ my beloved Lexus LS 400 has, now, been sold, sold, sold ! ! ☹️ all good thing’s must come to an end and after a tremendous and record breaking 5️⃣ . 7️⃣ . 0️⃣ . 0️⃣ ➕ View’s and 2️⃣ 2️⃣ 2️⃣ Replie’s the Final Curtain must fall…☹️ 😢. I should like to thank the following Lexus Owner’s Club UK Member’s for their support and important contribution’s to my 9 page’s of rambling’s - in the main ‘on topic’ but, oh so rarely, ‘off topic ‘…🤥 🙄 🤭 : 🔴 my Wingman, has asked not to be named, in this instance. he, her other, from day 1 has both supported me and covered my 6 throughout ! only 4 incident’s logged during the return flight 2 of which were long distance threat’s completely neutralised by this determined and brave person. the remaining 2 threat’s were jointly prepared for but, in fact, in all 4 case’s not a single shot was fired and all adversarie’s remain alive and well…….!😃 🔴 Malcolm 🔴 Maximum Prime 🔴 HPS 13 🔴 Chris Skelton 🔴 Steve 2006 🔴 ISG SLS IRL 🔴 messi 🔴 Ken R 🔴 Razor 61 🔴 Boomer 54 🔴 GMB 🔴 Mossypossy ….Member’s and non- member’s I thank you all for making my brief appearance on here so much fun ! 😃 - and I do so hope you have enjoyed the content ! farewell Lexus Owner’s Club UK ( Lexus LS 400 Forum ) I shall miss you all ! (hopefully, I have broken most of The Forum Covenant t&c’s - if not……….) ! 😲 never forget our anthem, Gang : ….we don’t care what people say… Rock’n roll is here to stay……!! cheer’s all and Very Best Wishe’s for The Future, kind regard’s anthony

….have received a most appreciative note from NRRArchives ! they were thanking us, as a Gang, for increasing the number of View’s of their video ‘ ‘Danny and The Juniors’ - ‘ Rock’n’Roll is here to stay’ by a staggering 12.000+ View’s in just 21 day’s ! 😲😃 well done, Gang - like them, I thank you for your continuing to support viewing this fine, 1958 early Rock and Roll performance - surely, in the day, talent at it’s best ! 🤔☹️. anthony

….Gang - another tip! ! if you or your significant other and / or 18+ offspring drive an automatic gearbox car: never - never - never - never shift into reverse whilst still moving forward - or vice versa ! ! ! ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ auto-gearbox repair specialist workshop’s make more money out of the resulting, catastrophic, damage caused by this shifting ‘skill’ than any other type of damage they work on ! 😲. be warned…….! anthony

….now then, this really is off topic - about my, previously mentioned, Benz W123 saloon : 15.06, this afternoon, after 2 year’s 10 month’s in static position in granite stable - I slipped Key into Ignition barrel and prayed she, he other would start up, light’s on - twist…… …..started instantly, ran for 10 minute’s - oil and temp gauge’s on the line - shift to Drive, move’s - shift to reverse, move’s. engine purred, for a 4 cylinder, anyway ! life is good - my old 1985 Mercedes-Benz is running again - hooray ! as Malcolm say’s, not a patch on my Lexus LS 400, even so - not a black box in sight ! I love her, him other ! 😍🥰😍🥰 anthony ps: sad I can’t really daily this one…..be up for sale soon - anyone ?

….er, Malcolm, look out of your starboard window and see my ship in echelon alongside - see the pilot waving at you port side - that,s me, Anthony - we are on the same side, you know ? anthony

….this a Lexus Owner’s Club UK - Cars For Sale advertisement post for my year 2000 Lexus LS 400 - that is the topic which you will notice I have religiously adhered to ….for the last 9 Page’s ! 🫣 anthony

…..Malcolm, if I may say, you are strictly ‘off topic’ ! note t&c’s of The Covenant…… anthony

….’m’lud - note the use , by my learned friend, of the word might ! surely, The Court would need to be shown photographic evidence of a dog ‘skimming’, san’s supporting board etc., across said water ? anthony

….Malcolm, Ken - further to your humorous contribution’s concerning my recent ‘brain-teaser’ Question - please, do listen in to this court dialogue…. ….m’lud, in defence of my client, Anthony X, I would, respectfully, draw your attention to the 2 article’s, currently, being displayed to The Court. please note the depth of water of 6 - 8 feet ( 1.8 - 2.4 m ) in article One and the word and phrase ‘flow’s’ and ‘is a moving body of water ‘ in article Two.. the comment of my learned friend ‘or amazingly shallow’ can, clearly, only be considered as totally unrealistic and untrue, perhap’s even cruel to my client ? no further question’s m’lud, but would ask, under the circumstance’s of this outrageous response, you seriously consider the ‘payment incurred cost’s’ of £101.000 12p be paid to my client and the revocation of their Driving Licence’s - for life ! plus send them both down for an indefinite term at His Majesty’s pleasure ! thank you, m’lud…… ….gotcha’ guy’s - deserved come ‘uppance, I think………..still smiling ? 😃 personally, I would have pardoned you both….😲 anthony

….reference the Tina Turner ‘pick-me-up’ video, earlier. that 54’ extending jib was designed, exclusively for Tina ! the jib was not a fixture of the concert venue - it was portable ! at 6.09 her management must have been terrified, of their valuable asset, as Tina is singing - outside - the handrail area protected only by pathetic low level safety net’s ! sadly, passed at the age of 83 having sold 150 million record’s world-wide and a net worth of $ 250m ! a fan - moi ? nah! anthony

….I have been advised you can buy heroin on a debit / credit card ! 😲 charged and being issued with a Shell V fuel garage receipt……🤯 amazing… anthony

….wot - a Yorkshire Terrier - how shallow do you want the river to be. a River, 200 yard’s wide, Malcolm and Ken, not a big puddle ! 😃

….have received some pm’s requesting the answer as to how the dog crossed the river ( no bridge, no boat ) with just damp paw’s…… ….the river was………..frozen over……. 😃 anthony

…..have to admit - I don’t know how to fly a B-17g ☹️ ! in the same way the young guy’s in WW2 who could fly a B-17g, could not drive a car - true ! ….but I certainly can fly the following aircraft extremely skilfully: ✅….FW-190 ✅….Messerschmitt 109bf ✅….Spitfire Mk 9 ✅….Hawker Hurricane ✅….B-25 Mitchell bomber ✅….Gloster Meteor ….how ? ….early 2000’s bought a Microsoft warbird’s simulator ( or was it a stimulator 😳 ) game for my 2002 Sony Vaio laptop - plus the control stick for flight, throttle and trigger for machine gun / rocket fire - still play it, now - magic ! 🙄. anthony

….Stephen, I understand your point - but I lifted that list off a highly reputable accountant site on t’internet ! have to assume the commanding officer of your p o w camp, in UK 🇬🇧 or Canada 🇨🇦, has given you permission to submit your post, just surprised ? anthony

….what a coincidence - Steve and Stephen have the same number’s on their aircraft ! thought 13 was unlucky - 14 is not much better guy’s, eh ! expect I’ll meet you both in the officer’s mess, at base, sometime ! Gang - a tip ! ……alway’s remember P E T R O L before you take off ! 😃 P petrol E electric’s T tyre’s R radiator O oil L light’s …that way, you won’t screw up when you go in for the attack ! 😳 🙄. sadly, Steve and Stephen - for you the war is over and, as newbie’s, you never fired a shot - sad 🤭 anthony

….wow ! this is exciting - why doe’s all the action happen at the end of the adventure ? Steve’s FW 190 attack approach has failed ! think he may have forgot to take the safety’s off as he came in range, duh 😳 ! I never fired a shot, officer, we saw him spiralling down to The English Channel with his prop stationery - perhap’s he did not take on enough shell v-fuel before he took off - at pace ? look out ! 😲 there’s an me-109 coming in at 3’o clock - I can clearly read ‘ boomer54’ painted on the engine cowling ! pilot look’s very determined - doe’s he not know he has lost the war to sell my year 2000 Lexus LS 400 ? ….why I never registered as a Limited Company, Stephen ! 🔴 loss of control 🔴 higher set-up cost’s 🔴 increased legal responsibilitie’s 🔴 more complex accounting procedure’s 🔴 personal financial liability 🔴 lack of flexibility I traded as ‘Lifestyle’ - no wish to protect brand. all my ‘book’s - hand entrie’s. my, chartered, accountant only charged me £500+pa - he had deregistered from vat listing. sad, Stephen, did you not check your oil level before take-off to attack me ? looks, to me, like your Daimler-Benz 605-d engine has seized up - just as you came in to range, too ☹️. fear not, Mac, (?) - the raf vosper rescue launch will pick you up from The Channel after you have baled out - be quick though -those me’s are pig’s without power ! anthony

You are absolutely correct, Malcolm ! the one item I, or anyone, was / is never able to purchase was / is - good health ! ….at 80, I am so lucky ! am able bodied, totally fit, healthy weight and own teeth ! (ok have diab 2 but in remission). true, every morning when I wake up, I say ‘hello Monday…’ (or whatever day it is)… just good to be alive ! I know some of The Gang are sniggering, now, but no prob, your time will come guy’s, girl’s or other’s ! 😃. ….hey, it must be April 1945, I can, suddenly, observe, racing out of the sun (wearing my u.s. ray-ban large aviator’s, see) a Focke- Wulf 190g-8 (the final version - with 7.9mm gun’s in the engine cowling, 2 20mm cannon in the wing root’s and 2 20mm cannon mid wing - good day to you, sir !) coming in, inverted, hurling himself, herself, other at me in a desperate, last ditch, suicidal attack to take me and my wingman down! ….too late, son - you won’t catch me, now - I’m so nearly home !! ** cue surging roar of 8 wright 1200 hp cyclone 9 cylinder, supercharged, radial model r-1820-97 engine’s at full bore !! 😃 😃. Steve, selling dg is a legitimate business the income duly taxed, albeit later + the work to earn much revenue at little effort is attractive ( sitting in customer’s lounge’s, sipping tea whilst extolling the feature’s and benefit’s of the product I am selling ) and I get to sleep at night and I never worked night’s ! a career as a heroine dealer ? revenue stream’s are falling off the chart (if they know what one is ?), the price of heroine has plummeted. you need a healthy neck - to constantly cover your six from competitor thug’s, in gang traitor’s, the revenue and police drug’s enforcement force’s. sleep at night ? probably not, you will be working in a very dark marketplace. sleep at all? no because your terrified of being murdered in your bed ! don’t forget the delightful company you will keep + how do you jettison all that cash ? can you buy heroine on your credit / bank card - no! yes, Steve, you can compare dg salesman to heroine dealer’s, we both make seriously good money, guess which one I would stick with……? 🪟 anthony ** if the u.s. had binned all their ‘fortress’ armament - 13 50” calibre gun’s +ammo belt’s- and the associated gunner’s they could likely fly faster, further, higher and, maybe, get close to the ordinance load of our Lancaster - but they never listened to my dad…….

…..David, thank you - you are so kind 😃. anthony

…..Gang, going to return to the pension topic to really hammer home the need for you to look after yourself, and other’s, and save, while you still can when you, finally, retire ! retire - today, at 66 ( him, her, other ) and you will receive a State Pensionn of £221 per week ! 😲 Gang, that is a pittance compared to what you contribute over a working lifetime to The Taxman, albeit tax free ! £221 per week = £44 per working day - but your retired ! 😲. (£884 per month). ….for 20+ year’s, as a self employed, commission only, Direct Salesman (double glazing, consevatorie’s, used car’s and, latterly - mobility product’s + no serious self qualification’s ) I was earning more than £884 per………day ! ( gross - before tax ☹️ ). my first 20+ year’s were paye (pay as you earn ie: The Taxman deduct’s his commission before you receive the net amount ☹️ ). ….but the paye position’s were secure, well, as long as I behaved and my Employer existed in business . my last position (paye) was a senior manager for a major, Southern based, brewer. the associated benefit’s of senior management ? excellent salary (taxed) + bonuse’s, generous final salary pension (2/3rd’s of my final salary, as pension, before retiring - stayed for only 8 year’s ☹️). BUPA medical cover for family, generous life assurance - no cost, stock option’s, flexible hour’s, prestige company car (bmw 5 serie’s on order), daily lunch allowance, access to Company Chauffeur Hub if required (for company or own social event’s), drink’s allowance (don’t drink - but friend’s and family,did), select only the best hotel’s when required. a secretary + admin support personnel for my Southern Division. - - - so why leave a secure position to fly solo ? 🔴 1. because my then Sale’s Director was a t****r and one day I told him so at a group meeting and walked out…..(sad, my new bmw was to be delivered to my home the next week ☹️)…..‘rebellious nature and defiant attitude - remember that post ? 🔴 2. alway’s felt, I was a Turkey - just running with the herd and conforming ! attended an interview for a double glazing contractor whose client was a large Southern energy supplier. dg manager sent me out, on trial, to a pm customer home appointment with a dg sample, some admin paperwork + order form and finance application form. customer had expressed interest in 2 new dg window’s only. customer visit took me 2 hour’s and a result of an order for the entire house - windows and door’s @ £ 7.000 on finance over 5 year’s, all done and dusted ! returned to the office - dg manager delighted and tapped out some figures into his desk calculator…. the sale of the dg window’s and door’s + finance commission came to c £ 650…. 2 hour’s easy, but persuasive, work for c £650 😲 ( + the future of 2 appointment’s every day, thereafter + alway’s home for 6pm))……….eat your out, paye ! I’m done being a Turkey with a max of 6’ altitude, anymore… ! ….for 20+ year’s, I flew with the Eagle’s at 10 - 12 thousand feet - never looked back, never regretted my decision just wish I had made the decision to fly solo, earlier ! ok, not for everyone, I know ! self employed and commission only is a gamble and risky decision. no commission = no food = no mortgage repayment’s = family hungry = possibly homeless’ness ! 😲 make a success of your chosen target market, though…………...you will be convulsing in laughter as you dance to the Bank to pay-in your Commission Cheque (gross of tax) - which, incidentally, are alway’s paid weekly. hmrc used to love me ! my accountant, ran out of tax avoidance allowance’s to reduce my tax liabilitie’s (because my only overhead was my home) - The Taxman had a field day, twice a year, skimming of his tax on all my profit ! ☹️. don’t try this at home, Gang - self employement - lose, it will break you, succeed……🥳💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷 anthony
