She scrubbed up well for being 25 years old :)

Well folks, what can I say im the proud owner! A bit earlier than expected aswell- couldnt resist! I drove it today finalised the deal pick it up on Wednesday, will get some proper pick up soon. Thanks for all the help so far, Ross

Took a snapshot whilst out walking the dog yesterday, just down the road from my house. Born and brought up in a council back-to-back in Birmingham, took the plunge and came down here 40 years ago this year, right decision methinks! Am I a lucky beggar or what!

Looks great!! Must give mine a clean soon ...

Lovely car Ross and in the very best colour.... Congratulations on the purchase and enjoy. Did you buy in the Republic or have you added about 20% to the number in the country ? Hopefully will see you at the next Cars&Coffee. Gavan

Congrats matey :)

looking immaculate

Lovely job and I like the wheels. I washed mine Friday evening, first time since owning the car in Janaury, and will be getting my replacement wheels fitted later this week. My originals are ingrained with dirt and spoil the beauty of the paintwork which others have said comes up a treat with a bucket of water thrown over it even though its seen its key of the door year.

Very nice!

Beautiful, you should be very proud of that!

So Ive always had a knack for cleaning my cars - some may call it OCD but I like my arches nice and black too! Now my 2012 RX450h F-Sport is the first car Ive had with felt lined all over the rear arches and 3/4 of the front arches. Being myself, I used to "try" and clean them with a cheap bog standard brush (literally) and some car shampoo but it still left them muddy. Well, today I was shampoo-ing my mats with 1001 Carpet shampoo (got it for like £2). Had the brilliant idea of spraying it 1:5 in the arches and blasting it with a pressure washer! Well it worked! Didnt even need to scrub, took all the mud and dirt off in one go! Worth doing if you're like me and dont like muddy arches. Only takes 2 mins too!

I would have liked to have the opportunity to contact the sysadmin, at least then I could have had a meaningful conversation :)

Apologies for going off topic here but just to finish the conversation, I've had three MR2s; one of the last first generation AW11 models, a second generation SW20 Rev 2 T-Bar, and a SW20 Rev 3 Japanese solid roof Turbo import. All three were excellent in their own way and the first one was my introduction to Toyota/Lexus.

cheers for all the reply folks. Enjoyed plenty of reading here in the last few weeks. I go look at my first F tomorrow so fingers crossed! then the questions will begin! Cant sleep I fell santa is coming
