you gonna give me a seven second head start? :D

Number 16? I was number 12 the other day. Oh well the highs and lows of racing :P ← oops! still - going like a good 'un though mate!

and the GS430? of course mate - not a problem. my hour is up today. I'll pull the info we need for the request, and if you put it together, I'll ask (for the GS frst :winky: )

congratulations to ad77 on making the Top 20 Players list. number 16 - and rising! well done adie ;)

Splinter CEll: Chaos Theory is one of the best games I have played for a long time ;)

and they are even cheaper here :winky:

colour. Colour. and "what" has a letter H in it. write them on the board 100 times until you learn how to spell :D

the upside down (L) and knocking the GS off is not my cup of tea. What does that other badge say?

I'd take a guess at that being for a pair, purely on the description that seems a good price to me to - £80 inc VAT and delivery.

not for me. dont think they look nice on any colour car myself

dont know if its just a backup mate. I suspect its a case of your location on the road is determined by a combination of periodic polling of the GPS satellietes, and the cars own calculation of its movement between polling. So - the satellietes "tell" the car where you are. The car tracks its own movement using RPM / speed / direction etc. Next time the satellietes are polled, your location is corrected. This periodic polling gives you an accurate location and directions, with a reasonable amount of traffic back and forward to the satellietes. And, should you loose GPS signal, the car will still be able to guide you, based on speed, direction etc. Once the GPS signal picks up again, the sat nav will correct its position according to the info from the satellietes.

you shouldnt do John, if you always have an adequate GPS signal. the wheel size will be a factor in providing instructions when no GPS signal is available.

but what about when you have no GPS signal Mike? it uses its own sensors for speed / RPM / direction to determine your location, and keep guiding you.

personally, I would say: - scratch X - by hand. - Autoglym Paintwork Renovator. Orange Pad. If you do this, follow it with AIO on the green pad. - AIO (without the autoglym before) - blue pad. - buff both of these off using the white pad with a buffing bonnet over it. My rule is to buff until your shadow becomes your reflection B) - SG / Wax - by hand. I have applied wax and SG by hand, and buffed off with a bonnet. Both times I was not happy with the results. The wax just loaded up the bonnet, and was a bugger to buff. I got some holographic marring taking off the SG As you should have got the paintwork in tip top shape with the washing / claying / polishing - take the time to finish by hand, and get it perfect B)

lot of US GS owners have a dragon TC, this has a 2800 stall speed. it gets excellent reviews - the guys with it fitted absolutely love it L-TunedParts has it tell Steve you came from LOC ;)

strange. you shouldnt need a glove to clay the car - its not that sticky

the mileage defintely improves with age - this is bourne out from the evidence of a lot of the US owners - bear with it - it will pick up. whether it will reach the figures in the brochures I cannot say - but I do expect you to see an improvement. Have a read of some Prius forums too - there are some good tips and techniques on driving style for hybrids ;) Or - do what I do. I'm getting 16-17 mpg from my GS430. I just enjoy the drive, and not worry about the juice going through it. :D

looking good mate ;) the drop and wheels make a huge difference

why cant you use your LOC hosting mate?

always drive in my bare feet mate ;)

I think its a massive improvement on the old one. first thing I notice now when I get in an IS is the interior. lots of black plastic, and the dials are looking dated. this is a lot better. gearstick does look a touch cheap in that pic - but wait and see - that could be a bad photo of a nice knob ( )

go for it fella :winky: I love mine - fabulous tool. after a full clay and polish your paintwork is sooo smooth - its like cashmere to the touch.

yup! as Jason says, have a look in the Lexus Car Care Centre and read the article on Removing Tree Sap and Bugs ;)
