Congratulations, you'll love it.

Out of interest, if you don't mind saying: How much did you pay for it, with how many miles?

I've had a hell of a time selling my '58 gs 450 se-l. Wonder if I'm still asking for too much. The price is down 17,995 now.
On the other hand, I don't have to let it go for much less, because I can just hand it back to lexus for guaranteed buy-back.

Really hope you enjoy it - I've loved mine to bits!

Well 18hrs and 20 mins to go before I pick my car up....not that I'm clock watching (much), Feel like I'm 5yrs old again waiting for Santa lol
Looking forward to the long drive back home ( I'm a lorry driver so used to long hrs on road) tho can see me pulling over and stepping back and admiring the car a few times haha
Other half getting annoyed at me for harping on about what it's got and how it runs and all the extras etc etc ( jealous me thinks) bought her a grand voyager last week, which she demanded I washed n polished it today coz as of tomorrow I'll not have time for cleaning n polishing her car as I'll be doing my own lol
Phoned the garage up 2 days ago and got them to fill GS up as was panicking about the drive back up and all this panic buying at the pumps... So no worrys there ....was either that or try to smuggle 20 ltrs of fuel as hand luggage onto plane to pick car up lol ( joking)

WOW was a great drive up the road until I hit the snow north of Aberdeen and as we all know Lexus+snow don't mix .....was slipping n sliding everywhere
Southampton and Bournemouth nice summers day
Aberdeen and north east Scotland flipping winter lol
Off to bed now as I'm just back from driving straight back up the road should of been a 11hr drive but ended up being 13hr drive coz of the 40 mls of snowy roads ...snow plough eventually appeared and over took me so speed went from slipping all over at 8-24mph to 30-40 with the odd bum clencher lol

Glad you got home safely, I thought the weight of the battery pack would aid traction in snow, how wrong I was,now just stay home when it snows.

Enjoy the new motor.

Regards Tony
