Is that why "Mums go to Lexus!" There was an LS on ebay a few years ago which was originally owned by Bill Gates. I bet it had Windows and a nice Vista. Sorry But now it has Windows 7 or 7 windows including the sunroof!!! I wonder if he was ever late for a meeting and told his driver to "Boot it" Lets hope it didnt crash. Mike

That really looks very tasteful. I am not a lover of changing wheels suspension heights etc but that has changed my mind. The car looks very tidy. How much extra do your insurance company charge for such modifications? Mike

I'll also learn to live with a cold bum if thats a major hassle Buy a pair of good quality Sheepskin covers. Warm in winter cool in the summer. Mike

Remember if your buying in from the USA there is import duty to pay on not just the parts but the P&P as well. Mike

Agreed.In my opinion the IS series is just not Lexus enough. They should've stuck with the top range cars! An IS would look more in place with a Toyota badge. Now that just sounds a little snobby to me!. My Lexus hasnt got a badge, i took it to off. To me its a car not a status symbol. I also removed, what has now become the boy racer style Lexus chrome lights. As mentioned before i have driven everything from Reliant Robin to Bently Continental, from MK1 RS2000 escort to ferrari 355. A car is a car its a way to get about for me nothing more. To me the Lexus is a educated choice resonable style good comfort great reliablity resonable purchase price. Whats the LS got that the IS doesnt have?? cruise control?? cant think of anything else. Must admit mines had a few bits added that like full closure windows and mirrors, just press the lock button and everything closes and winds in. Its got touch screen tv dvd sat nav reverse camera. so i dont see the spec up grade as anything special really from the IS to the LS. The point of my post was to see if a v8 LS is a cheap to run as an IS afterall who wouldnt have a v8 instead of a straight 6. Dont take the remarks as a personal attack upon you we all have a laugh and a joke and everything is said with tougne in cheek and on loads of occasions there is lots of good sound advice and help.

Dont be put off by what this guy has said. I dont know of anyone who has had a problem with any car that has been converted by Profess. I know of one guy who had his Merc concerted and because of a problem they had with an installation engineer falling ill meant they couldnt finish his car so they booked him into a nice hotel for the night which they paid for and still with his free car, they finished at noon and dispite the elongated installation time he was very happy. I am paying 54p a litre at the moment and theres a big smile on my face everytime I fill up.

Hi Ifty Try these http://www.professautogas.co.uk/index.html they did my LS400 and couldnt be happier. I have run LPG cars for the last 14 years and only once was I let down when a Solinoid decided to retire cost to replace £40. These guys are amazing I didnt belive they could do the job in a day but they did. They also lent me a car with a full tank of LPG free to enjoy the sites of South Wales for the day. I am not a friend or a relative of them but do believe in giving people a pat on the back when its deserved. Good luck Mike
