Hello Mark,
I couldnt agree more. I nearly bought a 430 years ago but sorry, those headlights just dont look right. I remember the LS being launched back in 1989 or thearabouts in OZ and thought one day I will have one of those. I purchased my MK3 about 12 years ago and now cant get rid of it, apart from the fact its worth nothing these days, I did pay big money so as long as its sat there it almost represents what I paid, twisted logic maybe. Apart from that I refurbed the starter motor last year, the car will not go until the mental and physical scars have gone.
I have loved this car like no other, even the Porsche sat in the garage doesnt get treated like the lexus, its old fat, thirsty, is starting to look its age and will no doubt require surgery at some point in time, a little bit like it's owner!
My Wife has said, its either me or the car(s). Close the door on your way out.
Steve.
