Pound Coin

[donmar]

A little topic for you all I just found out?

I was talking to a old friend the other day that used to test drive the LEXUS GS300 mk2 when they first came out.

He said if you stand a pound coin on end, on top of the engine while ticking over it should stand up and not fall over,

So I tried it and guess what it works and I counld not believe my eyes.

TRY IT FOR YOURSELVES

originally the test was for the 1st LS400's back in 1989

you can rev the LS400 engine and it won't fall over!!!

no space on the LS400 for it to drop

when i had mine (LS400) we did it with a 50p piece and red lined it and that stayed put

havent done it on my gs300 sport, as its 10 years old

I remember watching old Top Gear when I was a kid- they balanced a pound coin on a LS400 engine at tickover and it didn't fall over.

It's not as impressive the original LS400 advert with glasses on the bonnet running at full speed on a rolling road.

thats cool, i dont remember that

i think the LS400 then was a much nicer looking car than the later models
