Totally agree. If you could limit it to fifth until you tell it otherwise, that would be great. Also, if it is only enabled for 60 seconds, it seems pointless. I'm still of the opinion that the Lexus auto box is over complicated.

Hi Mark. What do you mean by 'just speedy way of getting a higher gear'?

Thanks Stuart. With regards to the kick down time be reduced, are you thinking along the lines that if the temp max gear is 5th, in a kick down operation where 2nd is required there are less changes than if the gearbox was in 8th?

It seems to be one of those features that leaves me thinking I have missed something. Can anyone sell this feature to me?

Straight out of manual -

Before running off to Google (or reading the manual), do you all know about the gearbox functionality and 'temporary shift range'. I had no idea!

I'm off for a blat around Wales on Thursday with my mate who will be brining his Lotus thingy along. It is white and has a V6 Toyota engine in the back. Can't give any more details than that - sorry.

That's it, pick on the easy target :) I think the banter works better once you've met face to face. Meets like the two Kemble meets are worth their weight in gold!

More likely to get a red Coxster owner.......or maybe not :)

I think the tumbleweed nature of the IS-F section has been cured. Ladies and gentleman, the @Big Rat (and his rather lovely silver IS-F) has landed!!!

Man, I just don't know where you find the time to work. All that Internet stalking must be so time consuming.

I've been doing a physiological assessment of IS-F drivers based on car colour. Black - Male or female drivers. The female drivers tend to be very aggressive! Blue - Tend to show signs of aggression towards Coxster drivers! Grey - Estate agents - yes, mainly estate agents. Silver - What can I say? Chatty types that like posting all the time. There you go. I think that's a good bit of analysis done right there! :) You know I do love the blue IS-Fs.... but, oooooooooooo, white - now there's a nice colour! Edit: Paul ( @Big Rat) hasn't posted for at least an hour. Can somebody check he's OK please?

White...... liking that!!!

Just spat my coffee out!!!! :)

I like the lighter gray, one step closer to that holy grail of IS-F colours - silver :) @Big Rat, may I say how dashing your stock car looks in silver :)

Looks like he is trying to rob one!!!

I needed the loo!!!! (and also wanted to get out of there before the big exhaust boys started up their cars).

Including IS-Fs with strange exhausts!!!! @Mark G @Rusty Crobar I thought Rusty was going reverse his car through AV8's patio!!! ;)

Cheers bud :) Here's the link. Sound is a bit strange - be warned.

At Kemble today, the subject of a Clarkson IS-F test came up. Anyone have a link to the test?

Brilliant meet. Great to meet Russell (@Rusty Crobar) and Mark (@emjay82 ). As always, great to catch up with @Mark G and @Big Rat @Tom24 , sorry you couldn't make it. Hope you've sorted the water out :)

There's another car meet here at Kemble!!!!!

I'd buy a new Volvo S80

Puts mine to shame. I've been half way round South Wales today, and brought back most of the dirt with me!
