  1. Luckily,the AA says that the average motorist gets a flat tyre every 97,000 miles. (I think it was). So fingers crossed…..but not whilst driving! Avon bridge can be seen from our garden. Chris, (hoping to sell RAV4 so I can be back in a Lexus again)
  2. I guess the thought of just how fast the traffic goes as well? I recall seeing a car doing a spin on the m5 about 100 metres ahead and all hell broke out! At 70+ there’s no room to stop given how close people drive….the ‘two chevrons thing doesn’t apply to me’ mentality? Combine the chance of a front wheel blow-out with a multiple shunt from a few trucks and THEN test the railings strength? The Avon bridge was closed completely a few years back after a fatality/shunt there. Meant a 12 mile detour for weeks after,mostly going past our house! I may be over cautious but I always try to keep a good space ahead when crossing the Avon bridge now.
  3. Lexus? Have my eye on one -just need sale of RAV. I never really left (here).
  4. Yes,I always drive in the ‘middle’ lane coming home (Bristol) from Portishead,not wanting to be SO close to the rail and a plunge!! I think the s-bound side either has a gap,OR the wall is a bit high. Can’t say I want to stop en route to check! Though you can walk over/cycle over the river there. There’s a nice river walk below called locally, “The yellow brick road’ -its yellow enough though not brick. River has been very high lately,flooded the train line.
  5. It was on south-wards side.Vaulting over the fence is definitely not a good idea; there IS a separate footpath/roadway there, for maintenance and cycles, but there is a gap with potential drop into the Avon or the nature reserve along the river! No it wasn’t a Lex.Just a triangle plus a worried driver.

  7. Saw one in use only yesterday! On the apogee of the bridge over the Avon on M5! WHAT a place to break down! No way to escape….
  8. Anyone else needs a RAV4 ,just get in touch! Apologies for mis-using your string! Couldn’t resist! (i AM selling to buy an LS!)
  9. It’s going to be interesting if I manage to buy a(nother!) LS400 (ser 4). Reading this string……not sure if I’m put off,or educated! Brilliant.
  10. £4950 now. Reduced . A bargain for someone? Serviced mainly by Lexus dealers!
  11. Looking to buy an LS430 so my low mile,good condition RAV 4 will soon be available. (is this allowed on a Lexus site?) if not,ditch the ad! The RAV is in lovely condition;took me a while to find a good one as most have rust issues. was hoping my wife might occasionally drive it, but…..no go. So…… Then along comes a nice 430 to tempt me back to Lex! 71K miles,leather interior,auto ,mainly Lexus service history,MOT August. £6450 to LC MEMBERS. £6750 elsewhere. So,if you’re looking for a good 2nd car……these 3 door cars seem to have acquired a cachet and are sought after. Car in Bristol.
  12. I’m holding on to info that there’s a good custom fabricators just over the hill from me, for the day I get an LS430.
