Looks like I'll be coming with the family from York, so could meet up and travel down together.

I could possibly just see you all at Chester. Depends on tonights beer consumption. Yes, Im from Liverpool but dont worry. Your wheels will be safe.

Maz,

Loz

Hi Rob,

Welcome to the rare breeds society. For a while I thought the whole club was for IS 200s but there are some others out there. It will be nice not to be the only GS300 for a change if our liverpudlian contingent makes it. Nothing against ISs you understand but, they do get stuck between my teeth and I once had one bring out a filling. still, breakfast is the most inportnat meal of the day...

*Loz ducks the hail of IS owner bullets raining down in retaliaiton* Only kidding guys, if I had taste, I'd be dangerous....now where did I put my cord flares? Just got time to tie dye them before tomorrows meet!

Loz

See you guys tommorrow then between 11 and 12.30...looking forward to meeting you all !
DRIVE CAREFULLY .........(about 3.5hrs drive for me)

You travellers take care in the morning,see you at ChesterLex.

I'm running a bit late on this now, but all being well, will be getting down to Chetser on sunday for meet-up in the GS.

Steve J.

P.S. I was across there today and it was 'chocca',

Cool !!!!!
I might come over from Wigan to Stockport Lexus then crooz down to Chester "wiv da posse" Sould get there about 10:15ish ...
Bad Curry Tonight

cool - my old fella will be coming, and he's thinking of a Mk I GS if he can find one in his price range.


Any MkI owners willing to make an old man happy by letting him have sit in it?

SPEED CAMERAS ON ROADWORKS - LYMM VIADUCT

Just a note for people travelling South (M6) over the Lymm bridge roadworks;
(round J21 area), there is a 40mph speed restriction throughout the roadworks, on both sides of the carriageway, and this is enforced by number plate recognition video cameras.
Anybody not aware how these work, they film you at set points at the beginning & end of a measured section, and then give an average speed between the 2 points. Hence slowing down and smiling when yoe spot a yellow camera and speeding up again won't work.

Keep it to 40 and turn-up the tunes.

Regards,
Steve J.

Matthew,
As long as he doesn't sit in the back and start booting the driver's seat like my normal back seat passengers, he's welcome to have a go in mine.

Anybody fancy a meet-up at Haydock Island (J23 M6) and then cruising across to Chester?

I live in Standish Jnc27 M6, Was gonna head to Stockport then over to Chester...

Yeah, I clocked the Stockport meet. fancy extra half hour in bed though, and am most likely to have the wife and bin-lids in tow, awaiting transportation to Cheshire Oaks. Don't think they'd be too keen on playing musical-motorways.
I'm over at Lowton, Leigh.

looks like im going to make it tomorrow. Now please dont laugh [to loud] at my sad Lexter. It represents the the other side of Lexi ownership. The cheap and cheerful side. I know it was sprayed by Stevie wonder and my dearly beloved has added her unique styling marks but my good news is that via an ownership trace by Swansea, I now have [courtesy of the previous owner] a full Lexus service history book stamped up by Bolton and liverpool..... Im sorry but I am well chuffed.
See ya in morning

Look forward to meeting you mate. Nice result with the history.

Loz and Mac, if i can get the car out from the road work at my house, i will be set off around 9am, shall we all meet at Hertshead moor services on M62 between J26 and J25? i will wash car at service i think... hope to see you then, i will give you guys a call to let you know if im going or not, finger cross

Cheers steve.
Gonna do my train spotter impression and take some pictures of your LPG if I may..... but im leaving the yellow caggoole [is that how its spelt?] at home...............or maybe in the boot.

Not heard that word for ages!!
My guess is that if you do know how to spell it, you must have owned one at some stage to read the lable, so I'd hope it's incorrect.

Strictly duffle-coats only affair.

SJ.

I have no idea of where this place is - and no idea of my way over on the wrong side of the Pennines ....... but with the sun shining - I fancy a run out in one of my babies ....... would you fellas mind a girly coming along in something a tad sporty?

Anyone fancy picking me up en-route?

more than welcome Sammy - sure one of the guys will be a gentleman and escort you.


If you need directions, then they are basically


Get thyself to the M56 - M6 Junction 20 is the easiest description.

From there - drive down to junction 15.

There are two exits - first one read M53 Chester, then 100 yards later M53 Birkenhead / Wallasey - you want the second exit.


stay in the left hand lane, as you will only be on the M53 for 400 yards - as soon as you join, bear left off on the A5117.

At the roundabout at the bottom of the exit - third exit is the one you want - you'll see Lexus Chester as you come around.

Take that third exit off the roundabout, then take first right, loop around past the Skoda dealership, into Lexus Chester



see you there!

Coming from York way - so M62 ....... I assume then M62 to M6, leave M6 at j15 ......

How long will it take (at legal speeds) and what time will people be arriving - don't want you to have all disappeared when I get there!!!

I won't be refused entry if I come in a Honda will I ???

thats the "safest" way - easiest to give directions for.

you could come through Warrington (or even Liverpool), but the directions are much more complex - stick to M62/ M6 / M56 / M53.

coming that way, junction 20 on the M6 - and keep right for the M56.


junction 20 off the M6

junction 15 off the M56

An NSX or a Fireblade and I will roll out the red carpet.

you better bring that red carpet then

lol - that means I'm okay then!

BTW - used to ride a T595 ..... but gave up bikes - too many half blind car drivers!!!

Doh.
Better go nick a red carpet in true scouse tradition......along with some wheels and.....etc...etc....
A 595. Phorrr.

Shame my avatar stopped working again - you'd have had the clue!

Sorry Loz, Mac and Ultra, something had came up today and i cant make it to meet up with you guys for the Chester meet, i have send u all a PM, think you guys should join up at Hertshead Moor service and cruise down together, and im sorry to you all, i was looking forward to meet you all today and have a fun time , may be next time.........cry , hope everyone have a great times at Chester, sorry i cant make it all........................from Maz

sorry guys

was gonna come up but only just got home so im off to bed

have fun n e ways

What a surprise hey Mitch

Wassup People!

Great to meet you all today, those who showed up all realised two things pretty quick.

1. ONLY LEXUS would have a dealership with 12 cars full of people parked outside their showroom for an hour and NOT open up... talk about exlusiveness gone mad

2. It was actually a Honda Meet as Ultraviolet made us all drool. then she let us near her car and it was awsome.

Thanks for the style tips all you IS owners. I will be asking zee if he could kindly post a link to the takyshimi whatsit website for the BK flamer mods. and if anyone knows a reputable No2 supplier and fitter, I might be interested in a conversation about a staged 100 horse Noz kit... oh dear, the INsurance people wont like that...

Great day, great food, great people. Cant wait till the next one.

Thanks Mat and Mat for orgs and thank you TGI Friday for the fun and games at the end of the meal . not laughed so hard since I got out of Rykers Island.

ps. better post this now before my dail up goes do-lally...

not going to take any credit for suggesting a meet @ a closed car dealership




what happened at TGI Fridays?

my father enjoyed himself too - especially the sit in Loz's GS (Loz - just send me the cleaning bill mate if that stuff doesn't just wipe off )


I had to leave, get packed to travel tonight, and knew shopping was in the pipeline, as I had been away all week.


What I hadn't banked on was SWMBO and her sister wanting to go to Cheshire Oaks.

So, turned around, drove back - saw some of the guys standing around, and beeped - preety sure Mat W saw me and waved!



good to see you guys - look forward to the next one

Hey there boys!! Only another dozen or so meets and I'll remember who everyone is!!!

And perhaps one day I'll drive straight there without getting lost (mental note - meet at my house.....)

Big thanks to Loz for being the kind Gent and escorting me back to the M62 ...... then being even more gallent and staying with me even though I guess he usually travels the motorway a tad quicker.......

Lots of new faces - friendly people, lots of chat and banter as usual....... highlight of the passenger rides ........ a certain chap who shall remain nameless who giggled like a maniac the first time I put my foot down! Also got the ride down the twisties rather than the main roads - which was much more fun...... even if he was hanging onto the OMG handle for most of it!

Somewhere more Veggie friendly for us vegetables next time for eats please - and let the dealer know we expect tea/coffee and biscuits on our arrival - and test drives of whatever they have.

Finally - thanks to Zee. Just for being Zee!

b
what fun
loved the girly car too lol


review soon all

who saw the sorer on the way home ???????????????
oh my golly gosh


ps still cant spell

If that was the one with the blacked out windows and bodykit, then yes, I saw it..
It looked pretty mental!!!!

Well it started off great. For some strange reason i had the desire to look at skodas but i guess thats another story. After I left the lexus place I went for a quick nosey around the shops at Cheshire oaks. I couldn't find a good parking place and then I noticed the NSX was following me. Doh. I must apologise for not seeing you sooner.
Anywhose, when I noticed the Honda, I headed back to TGI's and met you all again. Parked the car and did a bit of this and that. Went round the back of the car and noticed a flat tyre. Decided to shoot off to a local repairers rather swap it over. Got to a local Quick Rip and told them the tale but told them I didn't need new shocks and an exhaust, just the puncture fixing. They said Ok and took the wheel off..... and then the shock....... no Puncture........Just a bent rim...........Doh. When I was driving in the car parks of Cheshire oaks I remember just clipping a kerb but ignored it. Put spare on... went home....cried.....drank jack daniels...cried more.
Apart from that, it was great to put names to faces.
Hope to see you all again sometime.
Ps. Got some piccies to post.

well, will see you all next weekend at the cotswolds meet

I thought you said all the dinks on the alloys were caused by your Mrs!

Bummer but now you have a reason to go the full sport route and get a new grill and alloys - and NO you can't have mine

Not unless it's in the Lakes - I'll be the one on the green and black kwaka

[QUOTE]

OK OK. I bent the rim but she broke the door mirror, scratched the spoiler, scraped the NS doors etc etc etc. She wonders why I never let her near the Stag.
As for the full sport set up, i know where there is a nice silver one.
Hmmmmmm, niiiiiiice.
I would love to get hold of a grille purely just to get rid of the hideous thing thats on it now.
First things first though. A trip to Pro clean in the morning to get my wheel straightened

welllllll sorrrrryyyyyy

You're Welcome UltraV.

I was practicing my "being inconspicuous" driving. do you think it worked?

*Loz hopes so cos he got busted at 97 last week* *cue lots of ribbing*

Anyway, glad everyone made it back to the fort. RobF (LS400) you really ought to have that brick removed from your right foot. either that or buy a big supply of front bumpers!

Ps. Anyone see Oz cabs? and who was your mate? is he bringing his Lex next time?

Goodnightol

***** busted by a camera or a copper??

what did they say.??

its hard to be inconspicous (spelling.....) in a LEX Loz so dnt worry bout it

Close Playa, but no cigar....


inconspicuous

See HERE

Useful website for Playa.... http://dictionary.reference.com/

cheers mr GRiM

Don't mention getting busted ..... I am still a bit concerned about the amount of speed camera signs near the meet - and me giving rides out in my ickle Honda..... I think I went over the limit slightly a couple of times....
