Dunkie

As they say third time lucky and all that Had to sell my mustang as my circumstances have changed and I will be having to cart two dogs upto the lakes every weekend So the short list of cars suitable for the job (and suitable for my tastes) was the RX range :D Decided on an 05 SE-L in dark blue So that means I am back again. Lexus number 3! Do I get a prize for owning most of the lexus range? Just need an SC and a GS to complete the set (I am avoiding the IS-F as its just an IS :D )

Hi all looking for 4 stock wheels for an RX300 please Plus a retracting tonneau cover in black Let me know your price thanks

"the car also has a flamer kit" LMFAO that alone is worth the 2k :D

Ahh the 460 went to get a bulb for my 430 today and managed to get my paws all over Lexus manchester's 460 :D now just got to pick a bank to rob and get me one

Don't know the Halfords part number but they sell them, when there just look it up in their bulb index fantastic joned saves me having to brave the outskirts of central manc at lunch :D

Thanks Colin contacting that company the speed part is a bit pants :( not to worry got plenty of other toys to play with in the car anyways

Mine apparently is blown Anyone know the part number and if Halfrauds sell it, if not its down to lexus manc in the morning for me!! ta in advance

Hiya anyone know : a: how to eject the current sat nav disk? Or even display the current loaded version? b: where I can get a more current one? I seen them on ebay archived auctions but not seen any current auctions :( Also is there anyway on the 430 to get the sat nav to display speed and direction like a tomtom?

There's an LS400 Taxi here in Bristol somewhere. Taxifast in Plymouth used to have a Jaguar XJ8 on their fleet. The woman on the phone used to reckon he had nearly as much work as the rest of the company put together, as everyone who rang up always asked for it! I wonder if the guy who had it worked out whether the increased popularity compensated for the extra fuel it used? Mike Theres a black IS200 taxi in Leeds Tried to get it a few times but only get Avensis's from same co. There was a member of LOC who was a minicab driver who had a green (if I remember rightly) IS200 met him at a manchester meet a couple of years back, I think he eventually got rid of it though :(

So cleaned my LS430 from top to bottom and I cant work out a way of cleaning the seatbelts, its a cream interior and so the seatbelts are a wee bit grotty :( How do the experts do it? ta dunk

haha cant stop enjoying it! its like a rocket ship with a leather couch in it :D cant wait to get a private plate on it (L3X DL --- The usual club £250 plate hehe) will have to bring it along to a meet for deffo :D

Good to be back guys and Wosket nice to see you are still around with the IS :D I will get some piccys up later today I hope

Hiya its a 2001 Y Reg with all the extras, I dont know the models in the LS but its a beautiful car in gold with gold badges and cream interior. Just had all the sensors in the engine done so its in mint condition

Hey guys been on a hiatus cause I got an Alfa 156 and a Celica, formerly owned an IS200 SE but the Lure of the L has drawn me back So I am purchasing my CEO's LS430 for a lower price than I can get a decent IS for Its been a while but Hi Hi and did I miss anything in the last 2 years :D Gonna run this for a couple of years then get me a 220D

Thanks guys :D The celica is far nippier so it may make me grin a lot too, but obviously not as much as the IS !!! I live in Eccles, work in agecroft etc... Always up for a Manc meet though ;)

Well guys after much deliberation I have decided to move on from the Lexus to a Toyota Celica (190BHP ) I am kinda sad to see the IS go but she has covered 127K miles and I think its time to let her go while she is still in her glory! Thanks to the club she looks and sounds great and has been a passion for me. Just the local chavs have taken a liking to keying the bonnet and after a 3rd respray she was done again a few weeks ago. When I catch the little scrotes you so know they are metting my german shepherd and baseball bat anyways I love the IS and hopefully Mat will allow me to bob around here now and again. As for the IS her high mileage made me let her go for a terrible price :( Some people just dont appreciate the beauty of the IS 200 !! Thanks to everyone here who's advice and help has made me feel part of something, and the meets were good fun too (except that really political one I got dragged into hehe) I do hope to come back into the Lexus fold when I can manage to pickup a year or so old new model in a couple of years, in the meantime I can play with the celica and boast how I used to own one of the best cars on the road!! Take care guys Duncan Edit: Oh and I will be wandering accross to the TOC for the next few years if ya need me!! :P

If I see your car there again John I will have to loiter around the tills longer!! I prefer the new shape over the previous shape, but they do convertible version of the old shape

lmao Bob! Thanks for the info. Wosket matey how are ya? Did I spot your IS in Tesco Prestwich one lunchtime if so nice wheels :D Got home last night and the wife had been to toyota and gotten me a celica catlogue she wants one

I did look at the hyundai coupe but cant justify going from lexus to hyundai lol (I am such a snob now!!) I think I may hold off another year and see where the IS is at. Unless I get a great offer for the IS :( thanks for the advice guys Dunk

So they gonna replace the celica then Mat? If so any idea what with and a sort of timescale? Am I best just holding off another year and then getting a new IS?

Thats really strange, I was just pondering exactly the same thing this weekend... ← lol maybe its the impending summer or something I dunno! Height isnt a problem for me The interior doesnt bother me too much but I think I may miss the toys of the IS... do they do a Celica with a sunroof or is that asking too much? Going to go down to Toyota at lunch and book a test drive I think though.

Considering trading the IS in for a new Celica (190bhp one) but still trying to talk myself out of it What are the good / bad points? I know I will loose the toys of the IS but I dont really need a proper 4 door saloon now the nipper is growing up. What you think guys?

One for you Mat me thinks :D Build your own Merc

Funny thing is that a lot of 419'ers are based in the UK or Europe :P There is a case of a guy in southern ireland being rumbeled when he was using a "net" cafe by the cafe's admin bloke I will try and find the article as I am sure it was on the register :D

Thanks for the replys guys :D Still toying with the idea as a filling station near to my home has just installed lpg on its forecourt. Aido yeah I managed to source some brand new 17" and so bought some nice pilot sports and chucked them on. The car looks quite nice now mate (well I think so hehe).
