there is a nice 3508 x 2334 pixel image of the new IS with neutral background at http://www.wcoty.com/upload/images/vehicle_24.JPG If you can't see the car scroll down and across or zoom out. hehe!!!! very large image. no 56Kers. is the res too high. Other than that it should be easy to mask and the paint should be very easy to change colour. edit: the res is probably way too high for viewing within a forum so i would imagine everyone would rescale their version to a standard size. What res suits most ppl? personally 1000 pixels wide is probably the maximum that most ppl can view on their screens or 600 pixels wide the minimum so it is still large enough to be appreciated. Lets agree on a standard size and image, start a new thread and let the games begin.

that could be fun.

is that car really small or are those wheels really big? looks disproportionate to me.

It ranged from €200-€300 (Fitzpatricks) to €500 (Carrol & Kinsella). I bought it from Fitzpatricks who collected my car gave me a 05 Avensis for a few days while they sort out a door seal problem for me. Just waiting for the bill to see exactly how much it cost.

I'm up for my 67K service and am wondering how much any of you have paid in Ireland. I am going to ring around to check a few of them to see if there is much difference in price. Lets see if we can get a full list going. I apologise if there is a thread like this already, i did a search. Edit: Denis Mahony €370 - Full €260 - Intermediate

I asked about this when i bought my car. The dealer who is a mate of mine told me he never heard of this before and would check into it. He probably didn't check into it but i'm sure he would have set me up with this if he knew about it. I'd like to know how you got on.

I always go out of my way to park in an end space tight to the end giving as much space as possible from me to the next car. Will even drive around till I find one. same here. just wondering what is the standard procedure if you find that someone has carelessly dented your car in a car park.

Clarkson makes sense. If they ban or try to tone down top gear they should ban james bond movies and the likes from TV, cop shows, all sports and anything that doesn't comply with 100% safety. Good luck getting your windows cleaned on your high rise building mr beaurocrat.

my mate just got 35788 :D

21889

thats not good :(

yup but in this case i would bet that they are a mobile speed camera unit. Having flourescent yellow and green on the side is probably obeying guidelines for traffic safety but just about. They have no intention of chasing ppl but rather sit back with a joint and a cup of tea in the back and laugh at how hard their days work is, probably with a bottle of sambuca taking shots each time they catch someone. <- joking (ish) I dont think it is a good example of speed enforcement but it is a visible deterrent and thats the in thing these days. Any van at the side of the road will cause me to brake and then check the speed i am doing, i dont speed but i do tend to go a small bit faster if the general flow is that way inclined. at speed i will rather keep my eyes on the road and rear view mirrors if braking than check the speedo.

i'll see your peugot and raise you with a nissan

great pic

i hope he pulls through and then goes on to beat that landspeed record. The new series of Top Gear is starting very soon, i wonder what will happen?

time to crazy up this thread a bit beat this

silly lexus putting the steeringwheel on the wrong end.

Posts your most crazy concept cars one at a time plz. try outdo the previous poster but keep your aces for a few posts down the road. i'll start the ball rolling with this 3 legged beast

As for the two world trade centres, the jury is out even though the evidense is massive. i never like these conspiracies until i saw this film. For me the clincher is WTC7 building. a few very important points. It wasn't hit by a plane It collapsed even though there was only a few fires on a few floors. Molten steel was found at the site which these fires could not have caused. It collapsed in perfect demolition style. What building that has been on fire and was contructed to withstand the wrath of nature could collapse like this with a few fires. I really think we should be taking to the streets about this.

I know, the ford thing is the killer. The x type is a badged up mondeo. There are very few IS 300's in ireland. I havn't checked jap imports but is the is 300 a wafter? I want an automatic, luxury seats, all mod cons, sun roof and all that. I can put forward my IS which is is worth about €23,000 irish money + 5k for the right motor. Perhaps investing in new seats? if so, could someone link me some uber comfy seat that would fit an is 200. btw, noel, you are the coolist guy on these forums. and grats on kerry winning today. Pity it wasn't much of a contest.

i love my IS 200, great machine, all the kit, doesn't tart itself like BMW's or looks like a bank executive merc. The IS200 is without flaw, understated, my friends only say its a great car once they have been in it. I would be very happy to own this car for ever if i didn't thirst for luxury. I owned a VW golf for 8 years which was brilliant and even though i could afford a better car over the years i saved up and got a 03 IS200. Unfortunately for me the GS and LS dont have that magic look or it would be a no brainer. I want a cruiser, an automatic monster that wafts me from a-z. I'm a designer and looks play a major part in the car i would buy. Please do your best to persuade me to stay with lexus and give me reason not lo loose my mind and go with something that will ruin me. The IS 200 is great but i want more. What should i do? pics would be welcome

what in holy mary mother of divine lord jesus are they doing? perhaps a burial at sea?

Seeing as the problem is solved can i be so bold as to go off topic? Can anyone recommend a decent FM transceiver. I have an extrememac airplay FM transceiver which is great but nowhere near as good a tape connection to an ipod. I sometimes use a landcruiser for work and have to use the FM device and it gives me great problems when i am going through towns. I place the ipod on the dash so it is near the aerial and have tried many frequencies most of which end up being scrambled through towns plus the added lack of clarity. I understand the lack of quality which i can live with but the interference is too much. what should i do/buy?

sorry mate. not available for IS, as pimpin is generally on GS or LS models. time for an upgrade perhaps? i know, i'm gutted. I've always wanted an XJ and if they had something like this for that car i would go from passive looking to active.

best mod ever! i seriously want one of those
