Lexus 430Sc Club Meeting

It seems to me the Club meet section is well out of date:: Not only that but by mixing with all the other focus groups its a little hard to navigate to and keep up todate. Grouping things together isnt alwasy helpful.

I understand there are now only about 2400 lexus 430SCs registered (could be wrong about that) its not many.

I am not interested in other models or other brands.

Those of us that own the 430SC know its problems and understand its advantages.

I wonder if like me we could do a meet sometime and discuss our experiences drive our cars on worthwhile roads etc.

I live in Malton North Yorkshire we have very attractive accommodation at reasonable prices (and even some night life) and within a mile or so we have some of the best roads an scenery that make owning a 430SC (roof down or up) absolutely fantastic.

I am not a business owner nor do I have any commercial interest in such a meet.

But we get lots of car specialist groups through here for very good reasons. MGs Subaru's (of all things) Classic cars of all descriptions but

Lexus 430SCs ?? Never.

Anyone interested.???

As you say the SC is a rare sight on the roads due to the numbers sold.

You then need to take into account how many SC owners are LOC members then from that figure how many would attend the meeting.

I have found from past LOC meetings the majority of Lexus models attending are the IS range with the odd GS and LS.

I have never seen an SC at one of the meetings and only ever one ISF.

If you were to open up the meeting to other Lexus models you may have more responses even though you are a dedicated SC owner.

I am sure thats agood point. But I wasnt worried about numbers. Opening up to other Lexus models would miss the point I think.

I like being rare !!! for me thats part of owning one. if it was more popular it would be a bit boring.

Take your point though..

It's a trek from the South, but I'd be interested given a bit of notice.

Trekking could be part of the fun!!! On the right day.. I am sure it would take awhile to build up interest. But these cars do sell quite well. Hope you consider such a meet a possibility.

regards

Peter

The last SC430 only meeting we had in the German CLud brought 4 SC drivers together. Its all over the same. However meeting other SC during a general LOC meeting is normally much more fun since more attend. SC drivers here most of the time either own another LExus or had another one before. So the contact between various LExus model drivers is quite good. Recently a small group ended up on the 'Ring' and yes we also had an LFA attending at one of the open for all LOC meetings in July. So call for an open one and it might workl out better.

Not that intrested in Lexus as a marque just people who buy something like a 430SC must have something in common. Lets face it.

Its not about loyalty to a particular brand of cars. Its about owning a quite unique car that has very few owners in the UK.

Not saying Lexus is not a marque worth shouting about. Just that meetings should be about something in common.

I personally cant understand anyone wanting a big slow car for instance. I appreciate their preference i just dont share it.

A meeting of 430SC owners would be one for those who like to drive with the top down if possible as well as like a big V8 and who like the advantages of quality sound and great driver comforts.

SC 520 ?? tell me more !!!!!!
