@Flytvr Having you a leaning towards something in particular, bet the Autotrader site was hit in the household last nite, I can see see you now g&t in hand swipe through the pages.

While on the table next to you the empty coffee cup sat next to the cake crumbs 😂

I find the chase more exciting than the ownership. My Achilles heel, is that I tend to want a particular model rather than view the field, this does limit choice.

I sometimes, for fun, put in a price on Autotrader and see what pops up for the money. Trouble is you usually get loads of Citroens and Renaults, I wonder why?

Think I'd be tempted by one of these IS300 estates.

Fairly rare beast with the silky smooth 2JZGE straight six.

I've also been looking at Rav4 s to replace my daily runner but unless the yaris explodes I'm waiting till next year.

Maybe too close to what you've got but still a great car, you could get a different colour 😉

I did consider an IS, but then how special would it feel getting in the F at the weekend?

Hmmmmm - pondering. 

Trouble is that it goes against nearly everything I posted for my requirements.

AND,what if I liked it more than the F!!!!!!!!

Yes fair point, if I had to have a second car it would have to be a contrast to the ISF to keep it feeling fresh, however, personally, I couldn't bring myself to drive another car and leave the F on the drive.

It is an option I guess for me to make the F my only car......... but I'd be so paranoid about scratches, scrapes, dinks etc

I spend alot of time looking after my car but don't think its special enough to be too worried about driving it places. I also love driving the thing, so even if it's down to the shops, the F is coming. You could also take precautions in certain situations....

How about this -

I'd have to be careful in the morning or I'd end up taking the wrong car.......

I don't know anything about them is it the same mill as the iS oil burner ?

More I look at these, the more I realise I don't like Japanese cars :whistling1:

Many have had a fling with Japanese 🏯 and regretted it. Nothing wrong to admit it @Flytvr 😉. I generally prefer the aesthetics of German cars, Lexus have done a much better job than most Japanese manufacturers.
