  1. just reading the Anglia Auto Auction site and they've a nice looking Lexus Sc430 on there ......... a true and proper value no doubt at the auction Malc
  2. I'm still at a loss to understand how using non-renewables, fossil fuels say, very very efficiently and preventing pollutants emerging ( super catalytic converters on cars say ) is any different in reality, or more polluting, to using renewables ........ equally efficiently No-one's explained that, other than to ask if I have children and grandchildren ....... great grandchildren even ! There's mountains of fossil fuels under the sea ( an inverted pun ) which being used quite extensively will not diminish one tiny jot in our humankind everyday use Climate change is a different Q I believe and irreverent to the careful use of fossil fuels AND the price of energy for everyday use will just come crashing down and appease humankind in general ....... businesses too ..... if and when the politicos ALLOW their mining and use It's the pollutants ( including politicians ) that are the cause of Climate Change and NOT I understand the credible and careful use of fossil fuels Discuss ! Malc
  3. Lots thank you ... I also quite remember as a young lad there never was house " central heating " apart from the kitchen coke boiler feeding the hot water tank in the bathroom upstairs . such luxury ..... and waking up in the morning scraping the ice off the inside of my bedroom window .. wearing plenty of jumpers etc ..... in London SE15 at that time Just use it all now sensibly, there's enough to last mankind forever methinks with creating and using renewables too Malc
  4. Just asked Lexus at the Centre and after much research they have told me the best they can reach for my October 1995 car is a figure from January 1995 of £ 44,475 after all taxes etc delivered from the Main Dealer Today's equivalent of £95k Aren't we lucky souls owning such BRILLIANT cars Malc

    that's brilliant Anthony, well done to have concluded your retirement car thoughts I'm still thinking ( age 72 ) BUT really doubt I'll ever willingly stop having my / or a, Mk3 Ls400 .. hopefully retirement driving will go on until the car takes you up to and past 100 or so eh Malc
  6. BUT BY WHOM AND IS IT A REALISTIC BELIEF DO YOU THINK . REALLY ......... ??? There's so much oil and gas in " reserve " off the Falklands and Brazil alone to feed the world with necessary heating and propulsion needs probably for ever mankind's going to exist ......... so then, why don't they, whoever they might be , just overcome the propulsion issue with cars buses trucks ships etc and simply fit proper " catalytic converters " whatever to wash the emissions .... likewise coal powered power stations especially coz these are coming on-stream at a huge rate each and every day in Asia ...... is it about 3 a day brand new coal powered stations I've been reading recently ..... the western car emission issue is totally insignificant to pollution I'm reading too and as I've said here before, Chernobyl, Fukishuma ? and now the Ukraine nuclear bomb about to be " hit " and spread radiation not just across Ukraine and bits of Europe but also significantly great swathes of Russia too .......... won't these acts of " science " cause rather greater Climate Change ( and death and destruction ) issues than a few sodding Ls400 V8s pumping out a few slightly noxious fumes Get-A-Grip everyone ..... we can all keep warm in the winter for a very tiny cost if the Govts and Oil Giants of the world got their acts together for the benefit of Society . AND . their respective balance sheets too I'm thinking Malc
  7. I would be worried about a discrepancy in Somalia ....... thinking that might require a head amputation if you get it wrong there Liechenstein and Mexico, well bring on a little more tequila and you'll probably be fine and in Liquorenstein ..... no one will notice Malc
  8. I can understand bits and bobs with a smash BUT this is s standard windscreeen replacement Malc
  9. probably yes .... they will always try to screw you for any added premium opportunity Malc
  10. 'Im not one for moaning BUT I'm happy to make constructive comment Malc
  11. Thus sayeth the words of the Sage of Lancashire Heaven alone knows how we mere mortals with such limited knowledge of these cars would ever manage without your wealth and depth of knowledge If you could bottle your wisdom Paul you'd be as wealthy as the Sage of Omaha ............. maybe by the time you're 93 ( is it ) you'll be catching him up eh ! Thank you for your skills set and learning curve Paul . Well done Malc
  12. Can anybody please explain to me in simplistic terms WHY we shouldn't be using inexpensive non-renewable fuels, like oil and gas ?? As I said a while ago, UK is exploring extracting it's immense and captive oil ( and gas? ) reserves off the Falklands ............. and Brazil has just about as much undersea fossil fuels too that have ever ever been extracted or ever likely to be extracted commercially EVER anywhere in the world ...... making Brazil one-cut above the UK in Global Wealth terms . no.5 or 6 is it ? Just what is the problem using non-renewable fossil fuels ? Does anyone have the answer ? Keep it simple please Thank you Malc

    and where would they have come from ??? Malc
  14. and sadly these are disappearing fast too ............... Canterbury City centre WAS full of wondrous shops to behold and touchy feely everything ... there a couple of weeks back and it's more or less Dead, a Dump and a very Sad Place to be tbh I suspect many town centres and shops in general are a bit of a thing of the past Malc
  15. I suspect we lucky people in the UK are much better off than most in the world .......... Malc
  16. well, I'm a paid up member of the FSB Federation of Small Businesses ............. and it's news to me .............. and they're great guys to be associated with for sure Malc
  17. If one should be fearsome of the bills with a Ls460, then for maybe 50% of the capital cost for a comparable year and miles car, one could have the much rarer Honda Legend of the same time ......... it's a plush car for sure, it's just that I much much prefer my Mk3 Ls400 ....... probably even rarer now being a Mk3 My 56 plate HL is really a brilliant brilliant luxury car and there have been few issues with servicing and maintenance over the 6 years and 35k miles we've had her Just a thought ! Malc
  18. methinks until the next Budget when Liz or Rishi will be recovering from wheresoever the softening energy prices that are going to be imposed on the Providers " watch this space " Malc
  19. this Ls460 is DOOMED ..... you seen the last photo and the map address Malc
  20. hahahahahahaha ..... and a bigger budget to cope with all the repair costs too compared to the Lexus Malc
  21. maybe there's the issue that if people personally don't pay there will be some amongst them who won't worry about wasting the stuff ....... taps running willy nilly, hosepipes running amok etc and wasting the god given stuff ............... Malc
  22. Hey PCM take a look at FSports thoughts on a replacement gearbox ! Malc
  23. wow . is PCM compatible with yours that he's thinking to scrap ? Malc
  24. I can't believe at only 19 years she's going to the scrapper Has someone else with a keener eye for welding taken a good look ? Malc
