Diary Of My Ls430 Part 2 - Journey With A Difficult Kid

[eekamaouse]

Dear Diary,

Saturday 16th November, facing a long, and potentially fraught journey to East Essex from Reading - to a place known as Blackwell, near Canvey Island.

My 15 year old son is taking part in a National Kung Fu Championship, and so I am travelling at 6am, waking at 5am. My son hates long trips by car as he suffers from travel sickness.

Expecting the worst, I have super soap cleaners and leather polish ready in anticipation of sick on the fine leather seats.....!!

I shouldn't have worried - the smoothest, most effortless drive ever - he did not complain once.

After 12 hours of competition (plus him winning a couple of medals), and tiredness - the journey back was just the degree of comfort I needed, and my son fell into a deep sleep (unusual for him).

I listened to Fleetwood Mac, Matthew's Southern Comfort, and Ennio Morricone (see the thread on "What Are You Listening To on Your Lexus Sound System) on the way back.

What a car!!!

They are great cars for travelling long distances in. Only recently bought our gs300 and now im a passenger most of the time i can finally enjoy the comfort.

It's great Iain, the difference between the is200 and the gs is unbelievable.....Didn't know what iv'e been missing.
