@JonP can't believe you got an RCF as a loaner. Most of the times I end up with a CT or IS300h but I've been given a couple of brand new RX450s in the past.

@Big Ratyeah I thought Flytvr was referring to the GSF as a vxr8 lol

When I was looking at buying a vxr8 one of my mates kept going on at me about how it looked like a big Vectra 

Just wondering if they still run an F model as a ring taxi. Seen a few good videos with the ISF ring taxi but those are getting on abit now. Wouldn't mind a run round with an experienced nutter behind the wheel lol.

Had a look on the ring site but couldn't see any lexus models mentioned.

@Flytvr I was just pootling through Royal Chippenham Town today saw this coming off a roundabout any ideas who's.............

Big Rat

Don't know of anyone on here with a Vectra.

@Big Rat lol mate. Another stunner from the Rat data banks 

Think my passport is in date for a trip south of the border 

A meet does sound good though, i'll see if i can get the water tank and wash buckets in the boot... might even be enough water for another F   

@FlytvrOnly four now. Two black and two of those really common blue ones with white leather 

@Big Rat Who in their right mind would own a garage queen

@mike m Yep my wife goes quiet as well  when she gets into the passenger seat of the 'F' with me says a little prayer crosses herself and then puts her hand close to my gentleman vegetables snd says very authoritatively "Now were not going to hurt each other are we "

😂😂😂

🐀

Lol now that's dodgy territory. My wife usually starts taking deep breaths and threatens to throw up. Certainly makes me behave haha.

@JonP Have a search in youtube for landcruiser Fraser Island Australia if you have a spare couple of hours lol

Yep that's the one. Seb was the guy I dealt with at Edinburgh.

it was a beautiful car...... hopefully still is. 

Small world. I'd dealt with Seb a couple of times. He left earlier this year.

@finchy40 is that lexus Edinburgh showroom? Looks like Seb in the background. If it is then he took me and the wife out for a quick run in a Mesa red ISF when I'd just bought an RX. I won't go into it too much but the wife went quiet sitting in the front lol.  Two years later I bought my isf.

@mike m Yep who'd want a wimpy diesel when you can have a V8, I used to have a couple of Nissan Navaras for work they were ok I could never get the right deal from Toyota 🙄

🐀

Hilux are expensive and hold they're money well so I'm not surprised. Lot of Navaras are snapping in half 

At the risk of going off topic this is my idea of a proper pickup and would love one from Oz. Still a V8 but diesel unfortunately.

@Big Rat ahh that's probably why I thought about it, knew I'd seen it somewhere lol. Certainly my kinda Hilux 

@Big RatI think I've found a use for some of the parts.

Ouch, I reckon that's rolled a couple of times going with the damage down the drivers rear 1/4. Could have dug in after losing it on a corner maybe who knows. Sad but looks like the cabins held up not too bad.

Wrong thread Mike. With talk like that you need to go over to the Squeaky Clean thread 😀

Id best get me coat 

@G10RREId love to hit that with the snow foam  

I found this but it only relates to leaking oil after changing fluid.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-f-2008-2014/583285-isf-transmission-issue.html

Seems that refilling the gearbox oil is a mega task in its own right.

Seen a few posts about rusty cooler pipes on other lexus models.

Found a pic as well

@Big Rat lol just as well our cars didn't come in the metallic brown that some of the jspec supra's were lovingly painted in. Known as MSB 😀

I had the channel ones before I got the Lexus ones. Still have them in the garage if you want them? They are the Climair ones.

Which ones work best do you reckon? I was wondering if the channel ones push on the seals once the windows up.

here's mine....

Nice, where did you get the rain deflectors? I've been looking for ages but can only find the stick on ones.

Hold on a minute those are the stick on ones, they look good. I was after the ones that fit in the channel but could never find them.

@Big Rat Just doing my bit for the blue corner lol

The white is something else though, almost looks like a matt finish from a distance with the pearl effect. Never seen one in the flesh. I've only seen a mesa red and cough cough  ...... a Silver one.
