Christmas Pressie To Myself!

[Hut49]

By coincidence it happened that my RX400h was ready for collection today, 24th Dec - how cool is that! Thanks to Lexus Guildford for arranging everything and providing coffee and Danish while we went through the hand-over formalities. It's a 2009 Exec Limited Edition in Stafford Blue with grey interior with low mileage and seems to tick all the boxes. Driving home I realized how the energy display could become a real distraction but maneuvering around a multistorey carpark on the way home in stealth mode was great fun! Will need to add a few tweeks - eg iPod connection and maybe a set of winter tyres on a spare set of rims, and perhaps a set of stainless steel/aluminium running boards so the (vertically challenged) cleaner can make a good job of cleaning the roof (just kidding!)....Gave her (or him, not sure yet) a full tank of Super unleaded on the way home as a welcome, having read the optimistic reviews that suggest that it's more economical. I expect it will be back to regular fuel after the Christmas credit card bills come in.

Merry Christmas! :hohoho:

Grats on the car! The RX is a gorgeous car, only ever had the standard tyres on mine but it's never had any problem in snow. Even last year in foot deep snow it still just plodded on as though nothing had changed :)

For cleaning the roof, standing on the tyres works quite well but yep it's not an easy car to clean the top of unless you happen to be 6ft 4+

Guessing you were the 11am appointment :) (was at Lexus Guilford myself yesterday signing the paperwork for my new baby - ISF ;) )
