Hey, less of the 'cheap Citroen' digs! I've had about 20 Cits of various sizes and NEVER had a problem! Agree re Tesla interior. When you read the levels Toyota went to with the LS launch - cows from barbed wire free fields; man with 3 sets of nails to check the buttons; paint sprayers teseted every 3 months......Yamaha wood, etc..Tesla IS amurrican, they are used to cheap cars and basic fittings.

Now when parked up, the windows go down while you're away-nightmare? (-: Just watched progr and rebuilding a 1960 425cc 2CV. Fold back roof; pop up the windows...in any order. Just not as quick as an SC.....

Did that private road have an 'M' in front of it?

BZ's knees (Reg no!) So, you have just a FEW plans for it then........ I recently thought trekking to Aran was a bit far, but 615 miles! Are you still in europe up there? (-: Ducks quickly...... Am still hoping we in the 'soft south' might somehow still be in Europe in years to come. I love Iberia, but don't have enough of the language. though the thought of driving an SC430 on Spain's empty roads is tempting.

Supposedly was £6250 for a while! Back to the long wait (I've been looking (at choice for next car) since last September! After a LS, nothing compares, so it has to be some kind of different; e.g. lpg Cherokee, 2006 Smart Forfour auto......

try thr Biggleswade car on Autotrader? He offered it to me for £3250....and he IS leaving country next week. Not good english though (he said in e mail) Better be VERY quick?

Damien! How can you even THINK that?!!! Petrol has circa 80% of its cost as tax already! There's Fuel tax, which is then Vat-taxed..... If all the money raised from fuel alone was spent ON roads they'd be gold plated! A lot of it is used to prop up the rest (NHS....) already! Saying'it's only an extra £100' when wages in real term have dropped 20% since 2010 in 'real terms'. Food Banks and children getting free meals does not equal 'The World's 5th largest economy' to me. The problem is that City roads are the responsibility of the City concerned. Meanwhil, the lovely Tories have drastically cut cities' funding. Something has to give. Denis. Half-track? Citroen made one in 40s....Citroen Kegresse. It was driven accross the Sahara! Just right for London streets?

Never done Italy (except Sardinia) but Spain and Portugal have hold on my heart. Been all over Iberia over last 30 years. Just wish my brain could retain more of the language...old dog, new tricks? Love driving on spanish country roads, though my air-con did pack up one August when it was 35+ degrees out........AND the CX boiled over on a hillside once! The Cherokee did fine-I'm thinking of getting an lpg one again.....Britain's roads getting bad enough now.

I NEARLY pressed the button on a £3500 LS 400 Ser 4 this week......7 years after I sold my last one. (It was reduced drastically). But.....I didn't. There's something about them, even though I never was enamoured of the shape. But the way roads are getting, I'm leaning towards a 4 X 4......

Bad language seems to be the curse of 'social media'. So easy to be aggressive/unpleasant on a phone or keyboard. I recall Jasper Carrot doing a sketch about 'road rage' when a driver was cursing away in his car, but was meek when confronted. (And I think Steve was quite good at boxing in his youth?) (-:

Reading about 'y-pieces', I'd imagined it was just a y shaped SHORT bit. This is much more! Looks great.

Sorry! Reminded me of Jimena in Spain - which has got me looking at houses for sale there.......! Plus i was there in MY CX in 93! (-:

Don't even THINK of taking an LS to some parts of Spain?

A bank of twinkling LEDs? You can get them in strips......

You could try setting the front badge off-set, maybe in corner of grille? Or just central, but low down...... Then get a big 'sunblind' upper windscreen sticker that says 'Lexus' (not Connor.....Mrs C....!) (-: I 'chromed' my grille using a US stick-on kit, on my Ser 3

This 'Guru' is still learning? (-:

We should start a sub section for Lex fans who have waterbeds? Moi aussi. Setright has written articles about comfortable seating in cars, basically asking why car manufacturers insist on putting fat stuffed seats in cars. Velour Jap seats are considered passe here, but were often v.comfy Citroen DS23 seats (and -2 inches of foam -floor!) were comfy.

Faraday 'cage'. The modern world! Afraid of everything! Though I wish some cafes, restaurants had them installed around their establishments to stop the incessant phone gapers. I remember a video of a very ratty Citroen Mehari that had a cut-off switch hidden in an ash tray.

You need 'Citroen' suspension? Modern cars do seem rather firm to me too. LPG the only answer to big car + mpg? ( comfort is my interest as well) I'm looking again at (original)IS200s now.

I blame typing for all the spelling errors we see (Citreon? Intergrated amp.....etc..) we never look at what we's tiped any moor?

....but, no paint on the mirrors on that car?

....even get it in Marmite colours? I used to make Marmite chip butties at my cafe for a few other traders......delicious! (I'm in q for Neil's SC-for the sound system mainly!)

Well, I like that he mentions the Citroen DS as a special drive as well! loved mine - though it is (1987) a few years since I sold the last one!

Graphite wheels? Won't they just look mucky? Each to his/her own. Still got a set of DS23 hubcaps in loft-when cars HAD hubcaps! Though I seem to recall the Citroen SM (1970-5) had graphite (the material, not the colour) wheels. (Thinks; WAS it graphite......?)....no, Carbon fibre! https://jalopnik.com/michelin-made-carbon-fiber-wheels-for-citroen-back-in-1-1543922374
