Hi all, hajemema****e :).
Just thought I would introduce myself. I am a dude, live in Oxfordshire with the wife. We are both Japanese car fans. She drives an Impreza STI (ver7), I drive a Honda Civic Type-R, that has been modified with a Jackson Racing supercharger and a few other bits n bobs to give it 280 bhp at the wheels. So as you can see I like to tinker.
However I have just taken a new job working for a well known new Japanese Tuning mag from a publishing company based in Bath ( I am a graphic designer). So now that I am commuting longer I feel the need to change to a less, shall we say 'hecktic' drive :). As I have allways been a fan of the Lexus Marque, I have my heart set on a new IS250 Sport in the new year :D
I will miss the Civic as it has been a great drive, but feel that having two high strung performance cars in the family is somwhat limiting and like the idea of having something that is a bit quieter, smoother and comfortable, but that is still a drivers car at heart...oh and it has to be japanese as i like the whole dealer ethos and the fact that they do not seem to break down....:)
So hope you do not mind me lurking about and soaking up the info. Of which the Test you guys have put up of the IS250 has been very usefull.
