Great Post, Made me giggle. Glad you enjoy it. Unfortunatly (very jealous ) I do not have the New IS but I know what you mean about diving the car. :D were going to wales next week (aprox 4hours drive) Ive never felt like this in any other car but in this one I'm looking forward to it. My wife has offered to split the journy and she would drive half, I very kindly declined her offer!? (what a gentleman) I think there may be a selfish streak coming out in me?

I asume it's gona be the same. No worries. Anything I can do to help. Craig

Finaly found the pics of the Lex wheels Sparkle silver on the outside and a subtle shade darker on the inside. You could easaly go darker and they would look stunning but i was trying to get them to look origional without having them diamond cut and going scabby v quickly again There called Belmont Metal Finashing, there in Old Dalby 01664 822482

Cost £65 & I forgot my LOC discount:Superb result. Tel. there is a place in colwick on dalside rd that does them that day for £50 per wheel, cant remember the name. there's a place i use about 15mins away from notts that did mine in two tone. 1 for the rim and another for the inner bit. £55 but I did a deal and got all four for £200 took one back a month later because it was kerbed again and he did it as good as new for £10!!!!!! same princapal as the starion one but obviously for the IS and less contrast between the colours

if the SE or sport, just place your hand under the heated seat switches and pull out. there are two bolts there (10mm I think) lift up the felt mat on the top and there is two bolts (10mm I think) give the air blower and top section a good tug to free it. you should be left with the heater controll section and stereo Undo the two bolts that are left in the top NOW TAPE UP THE TWO DASH BOARD EDGES with masking tape, trust me. now just pull out the stereo and heater controll and unconect the plugs in the rear. you can now split the heater and stereo like magic! :hocus-pokus: Craig

apart from reversing lights then??? :duh: Mr fibble is probably right because it probably states that in the law and they obviously don't think too hard so there's always an exception that proves the rule.

is a cd stuck then? Ive got one out of my lexus is200 but not sure about the altezza. I can prob get it out but you would prob lose your cd in the process! if you want just pm me. you could send it to me and I could have a look. craig

And I suppose a citezen is a religious quotation ah......... errrrrrr.......yeah, it is

Like, every job you get your good, and you get your crap. But your comment I feel very untrue ;) If you was to get stabbed, robbed, broken into, your family member dies, house on fire, car stolen .... who would YOU call ? Yep ... I thought so. The police :) Any more questions ? :D :D you don't know Kazi then! he wouldnt phone the police. He'd get Freddy (the baseball bat) out and go and do some citezen's arrest! well if there was anything left of them!!! :P :P Sorry Kaz i just had to point out your spelling mistake as I don't find them that often! :P or maybe I'm wrong what is a motourist tourist on a Moped perhaps

mine's pretty perthetic compared to you lot but about 300miles in one stint from near devon to otherside of norfolk. My bro does 60K a year in his company car which includes driving from the midlands to scotland to work for the day!! and they give a renault leguna to do it in!

Just plain wrong!

Don't Laugh!!!!! in 2000 H reg Fiat panda had this at 17 to learn and pass my test in in late 2000 brand new X reg Fiat Siecento sporting (I loved it, both my panda and sciento were no problems and the dealer was so helpfull untill an idiot overtook a bus and hit me head on wrighting the car off) then I hit the 'Top Gun' stage of my life (need for speed) In 2003 I found an F reg Mitsubishi Starion in someones garden covered in moss (green at the time but I realised it was available in white!). I loved it 15 years old when I brought it but had 177BHP as standard out of a 2 Litter LSD, Cruise controll, Leather seats, electric windows, electric mirrors. Stuf europeans only dreamed of at that time. I restored it and I was invited to have it put in Practical Classics Mag. I was so proud of it. I miss It now but I only used it once a month so I couldnt justify running it anymore. Starion Link Then in 2006 I brought the best quality car I have ever driven (dad has mercs and bro has BMW's) which was obviously my Lexus IS 200 Couldn't help myself now ive worked out how to put images on here!!! sorry

what a quote!!! I like that alot, everyone In the world should read that!!!!! :D

Thats fine for people who like to cause accidents by not keeping up with flow of traffic. If its not essential to keep to the 60 limit, why can you fail your driving test if you don't? luckily there isnt many moped users that are a problem round here, they dont mind you overtaking them and don't weave acros the road. Craig

man

the last quater always seems to be bad though, you could do 100miles to each quater then 75miles to the last! I thort I was doing well with 420miles, I keep rubbing it in Kaz's face! I never realy do less than 380miles miles though.

Iam just outside a place called oakham 20 miles from leicester, why you in the area? Yay Oakham. I was born in Langham and lived there until last year and I had to move to melton as oakham is way to expensive to live in

None of the things youve mentioned bother me at all. I love it but the one thing I think isnt right is the gear box. its smooth and good to change gear but i think 6th is too low because you cant let it do very small revs on a motorway at 80 but this is just a very very minor gripe as I avrage 32mpg in mine to a full tank! :P What a car!!!!! :D ps I hate auto locks as I had a little accident in my dads bm when i was 15! he wasnt too happy!!

you can go to halfords and buy one for about £10. do it yourself, it's really easy. I did and got rid of my bad smells but I dont know if it will for you if there is something leaking into yours

error 3 code is a jamed CD, isnt it? I had that and i can get the cd out but it distroys the cd in 90% of cases. If anyone has an old stereo that the cd is stuck in and want it fixed. send it too me and ill get them out, all I ask is that you pay the postage to me and back. Craig

The W800i K750i K750 W700 are all the same phisicaly but the software is the only difference so they could be telling the truth. I use A K750 myself and its software is better than W800 in some respects. the k750 is more orientated toward the camera and everyday phone use and the W800 is mainly for MP3 use. it depends what you prefer but both will do the exact same as each other just diferently. We sell more K750's than W800 because when a customer uses both, 7 out of 10 prefer the K750. Up to you tho. If you want it unlocking most towns have a shop that can do it for aprox £10. Craig

I don't use it much for gaming so cannot comment too much. when I have done the odd game it runs smooth and graphics are good and the screan is so clear and colours viberant.

How, wow I would love to see that! not alot with the pc as I said, works just froze when i had 2windows open!

oh look Ive just had to shut down my works XP because it crashed!!!! how apt whan I was slagging it off! all i was doing is replying while looking at E-bay!!!!! Yeah XP, it's fantastic???????? Oh and please dont go on about how good VISTA is going to be, have a look at this and it will explain all. (please not the picture is taken from a Apple OS X tiger machine with the VISTA promo preview soundtrack) Craig

I work with Kaz and I just had to reply. windows and XP is my pet hate. I was in a similar situation, I need a new comp but fancied the look of the mac. I spent a very long time debating on what to do. nobody i spoke to said they were rubish but advised that I would struggle with limited software and other compatability isues like things not coming with mac software only XP Even my brother whome used to be a computer programmer on a mac about 15years ago said I sould be warery. So I went to Nottingham's apple store in the broadmarsh shopping center (KCRS, I cant compliment them enough on there service) I had a long list of rumours I had heard, In about 10mins he had done all of them on a Mac out of the box WITH NO OTHER DOWNLOADED APPS! pics off a random camera, On the internet, writing a document that was saved in M$ word format so that a pc could view it. copy a cd played music all without a single blue screen! after that I bit the bullet and brought one I walked out the shop and took it home. Kaz got one a short time after, he even canceled the order for his PC and even my brother has got one. You can't explain why a Mac is better untill you have experienced one for yourself. Im no comp wiz but I could get A PC quickly to do a GOSLOW and my Mac I cant. Ive not found anything that I cant run on my Mac either, Software is out there its just called different things. Its like the post about the BMW vs Lexus. Nobody bats an eyelid at a BMW but they stop to look at the lexus. people come to my house and ask what that 'TV' thing is, they say it looks cool and cant believe there's no big box and no wires (mine is all wireless and only has 1 power cable). IT JUST WORKS, thats all I say to people when they ask me about the mac. Yes on paper PC's look good (technicaly PC's are good its just Windows) it's windows. It's written ontop of a program onotop of another and ontop of another and then ontop of another then its ontop of MS DOS its like passing apiece of paper round the office passing through 5 peoples hands when Mac's just email the person in the office you want, no command chain, thats why there are less, actualy, no problems at all. I've never used Linux so cannot fully comment but anything has to better than Windows, Im sure It works well. Ive only heard good thing about it. Bill gates Used to work for apple writing 'Word' and 'Excell' for them thats why you used to get them first on Mac's. The only thing that goes wrong on my Mac is 'Word', 'Excell' and 'Virtual PC', all M$ products even then there still less problamatic than any PC that solely runs XP. We drive Lexus'. why? I feel, and Im sure some will agree that the brand size is less than BMW or MERC?! but we weren't blinded by other people. We obviously like good quality and because for the same price you get more refinements we choose to have a Lexus. I wont go to a european car again. Jap cars like Mac's and duracell bunny's just go on and on and on with no let up have more refinements and spec for spec wise are the same price or cheaper. As for the Ipod, It most definatly has boosted the brands awareness but is not the only reason it is "hanging on there" I used Macs at school (7 years ago) and when I started work I could never work out why I started to dislike computers, I was using Windows. Infact the mac is my first home computer I have brought! I was tired of comps always being out of date and people spending money just to find there investment was worthless just a year later. Now I have a mac and realise how everything makes sense, I love the macs of old because they work just like they do now. I love going home and using my Mac. I dont lose tones of cash because Old G4's (previous model from about 3years ago) still sell at £500! Windows machines are like scrap cars, you pay someone to take it away or leave it to rust in the garage. Ive never met a Mac user that has looked back (or a lexus one for that matter) ONCE YOU'VE HAD MAC YOU'LL NEVER GO BACK thanks for the rant. :shutit: Craig
