The first month with my Lexus

[DoctorEvil&Shorty]

Hi All,

Well four weeks and so far i have enjoyed every journey, Even the dreaded trip to work. All is great, got used to the size of the car and have plenty of respect or the power under my right foot. Anyway, i am hoping there will be a club meeting on soon.:D

As its soonest I'd like to be there andf catch up with you Lexus Loving crazies!

So where is this "Beaulieu" and what is the meet? who's going?

You know I saw 3 GS Lexus today... Getting a bit regular... Still I must have seen 30 5series bimmers so I guess I shouldn't complain.

Loz,

You're right though - the last week Southampton has been crawling with Lexus' of all sorts! Hmm Maybe the boat show I guess, all us fancy car owners want a fancy play thing for the water too! :tumble:

As for Beaulieu, it is a very small village on the New Forest coast line situated off of Jctn 2 of the M27 (down to the bottom of M3 and head towards Bournemouth). It is signposted from the motorway about 20 mins drive.

Hope to see you there

OOOOOooooo

Just realised your Local sais Yorks Loz! Beaulieu is a bit of a treck for you!

Mind you, good way of testing out the car!

[Loz]

Cheers Andy,

Migt make it anyway. As for testing the thing. I think 5k miles in 4 weeks is pretty well tested. I gotta get a cambelt but other wise I must say, VERY IMPRESSED!

Anyone know if they run failsafe engines? The kind that don't bend rods when the belt goes. If it works in a fiat Punto then it's gotta be good for a Lexus...

Welcome some tech spec on this...

ps. anyone think the plate M 16XUS looks worth having?

no, sorry Loz

You could 'strategically' place a bolt to make the 6 and E - but you'll just have a 'l33t h4xor' license plate.

[Loz]

What the heck were those plates trying to say? or was that the point. I had them made up to see if they'd look any good. better to risk £20 to find out the £600 would be wasted. as it goes I'm gonna sleep on it. thinking about R 4DY X or

R 4D FU both cheaper but look it too... what is wrong with M L6XUS is it too much of a strech.

It is great to drive a Lexus, I always wanted one when i saw the LS400. This was on top gear, I knew that as an ex rover driver i would appreciate something refined and here i am in a Lexus. So far no problems to report apart from the jealousy with kids banging a ball on it. that has stopped thank ***, but its still brilliant, maybe i will see some of you at beaulieu.

Cheers,

the Doctor.
