Still got the LS, but primarily a V70R. Maybe some monies available next year but can't stretch to the LFA 😛

Can but dream!

Think my GS F is back up for sale in Leicester, can't quite tell from the pics. OEM exhaust has been put back on by looks of it, but the mileage is close to what I sold it for at start of the year and advert says it has only covered 1k-ish miles since purchase. Very tempted... 😂

I didn’t even know you sold up!  What you in now?

Yeah it was 17 onwards that had adaptive, just ask for a photo under the bonnet and you'll see the control modules sitting on top of the struts (or lack of).

I don't think because the car is 'known' means it is a bad thing, the lip kit just made it distinctive. WBAC/ book price was lower than what mine sold for. If I was an owner, I would be happy if that sold at £43k, as a buyer... not so much haha.

This.  The non adaptive is still sachs suspension and pretty damn good.  I also want the Tom’s lip kit (if I ever stop doing projects on my house) so it’s a good buy.

£43k blue beauty up for sale on AT, not sure if I am disgusted or happy with that price 🤣

 

Happy, definitely happy.

Hope not, I guess compared to the Ford numbers we may find ourselves squeezed into no mans land somewhere out the back but I guess it doesn't matter.

 

It's a massive car park, so I should think there will be plenty of space.  They also have car parking on the grass for large shows too.

Crap - that's the day after my mates stag... I think I might have to pass.

If it all goes well though maybe next time we can do it at the same place 🙂

I've had meets there before, it's a great venue and the museum is very cool too.

Remind me what dates we were thinking again?

Just seen your profile. That's a shame and noticed yours is black too. Just like mine. Red interior? 

Of course, this is the way.

We should have a GSF cruise sometime:)

I live in Warwickshire and work from home now - makes it a little more tricky lol.

Lol I need to be with my people. Feel so alone.

Already got tickets for goodwood and parking in performance car park :).

Near junction 25 of the M25.

Ahh nice - I used to work in Waltham Cross, then offices moved to Waltham Abbey.

Keep me posted. I've just bought a GS F and never seen another or any F's. 

One of us, one of us!

Where in Herts are you?

Just now, B1RMA said:

so a bit of a general Lexus gathering for us all with the odd F model thrown into there mix.

Not that I'm against it, but it's not really an F gathering then in that case.

Why not just open it up in the main pages and make a mega meet.

I have been in touch with Caffine and Machine which is a well known venue for petrol heads. It is situated near Oxford, they do breakfast and lunch there.

I believe the entry fee is £5 which goes towards the cost of your food. I'm waiting to hear back from the events manager for all the details.

Does this sound okay?

Sounds ideal!  I've not been before and would like to.

I'm provisionally in.  Oxford only 1.5 hours away or so.

Blimey.......

Blimey?  Are you surprised that you have listed your car for sale? 😂

Shows how we all have differing experiences, I cannot stand Lexus Cambridge haha, genuinely one of the least pleasant transactions we had purchasing the NX.

Can highly recommend Lexus Birmingham.  Took the GSF for an MOT there the other week - the after sales ladies were stunning!  (Super helpful too of course... arguably more importantly lol)

If you take out the Gold membership on here, you will get 10% off servicing repairs and parts at most main dealer branches.

My local isn't part of that - so I just did a long service plan simply to fix the rates at current pricing.

Just now, BillNick said:

So, I can confirm yes a branch DID hit my car and yes it DID leave a mark!

Luckily it hit the windscreen - which I only just noticed today....having had a dirty windscreen for a while.

Managed to get it off with glass cleaner, but took some elbow grease.

I am very lucky it did not hit bodywork, it would have dented for sure. PHEW.

That's super lucky Billy!  Could have been a disaster if it chipped paint / dented.

5 up for sale, sign of the apocalypse! 🤣

...and only one has done lower mileage than mine and it's 2 years newer 😄 (only by 1000 miles to add).

Sign of the times, they are expensive to run, expensive to tax, expensive to service and used car prices are starting to fall - so getting out whilst they'll make a quid or two I guess.

I’ll pin a announcement next time thes a meet so the fb members get a heads up….👍🏻

With permission, I'd like to download the photos and stick across on the LOC facebook group if that's ok with everyone? 🙂

Fine by me.  Have we had the proper photos from the guy that was using a camera yet?

Just now, hockeyedwards said:

Thanks to everyone who attended, more than expected, which is always a delight, good to put some names to usernames and their cars 😛. As previously requested (and has started), could any pics taken be uploaded onto this thread please?!

Sure thing hock eyed wards 😂

Only a couple I decided to keep, I’m no photographer!

I’m here already.  Nice and empty car park and the sun is out.

Well this 'little' meet has got a bit out of hand hasn't it 😂

Everyone been cleaning today right? 😛

Have I fook - been an incredibly busy day with work 😞
