Yesterday morning Lexus Sudbury sold there allocated RC-F Carbon, I wonder if he’s a member.....

Anybody know Mr Mconnicaie ? On the left here......

Big Rat

Got a call tonite from Karl in sales it seems after a long long time my isF is hopefully going to a new home abroad but  a tea leaf helped themselves to the exhaust tips and they dispite there best efforts can get hold of a Upper offside one.

So is there anyone on here that has one and can assist........ he’s authorised me to say that it’s a straight swap for that Matt Grey Rcf........

Looking good Paul 😀 @Big Rat 

@Jon B Thanks Jon I appreciate that I’m really pleased with it, I see someone on here is interested in your isF as well 👍

🐀

@Ashrez Again Matey I’m not sure, maybe Wheel spacers have been used ?

Again @ColinBarber may well have the answer...... 😉

Big Rat

Yes it’s a Toyota..... yes it’s a 4x4 but they are bite the back of the hand a lovely thing IMO....

I can picture member on here @Rusty Crobar spitting out his cornflakes now in uncontrollable excitement 😉

Big Rat 

For the information of @Cezar B and @Martin F when my old callipers were refurbed the feedback from the company was they had never seen incredibly well applied paint as this before and resisted virtually all known methods to remove 😳

@ColinBarber

Thanx Colin 👍

🐀

@Ashrez I don’t know the answer to that one, someone like @ColinBarber or perhaps @rayaans may have knowledge 

Big Rat

@Comedian Nope no one loves Lincolnshire more than me.......... well except Mrs Rat.....☺️

🐀

@Comedian Just loved that, a bit of night driving in the ‘F’ on your own just magic.........tell me was that the same route we did to the ‘Indian ‘ we did last week....... mine that waistline now 😂

@gb1600e Hi Glynn I think we’ve spoken on here before albeit a while back about Cortina,s !

Anyway the Cheltenham ISF was mine I part exed it back in January they’ve just been unable to sell it the price how do I put it this even though it’s just been reduced is ‘Keen’ 😄

Shes a good car albeit I mentioned a few weeks ago whilst in a compound someone stole the exhaust tips which apparently are on order

If I can help any further feel free to pm me.

Her last picture on the day of sale before I took her to Cheltenham......

Big Rat

@Cezar B They most certainly would......... wallet melting...... man maths....... it’s a need...... type of good 

🐀

Looks like the car has gone off the Lexus site possibly sold ?

Big Rat

@Stuno1 Yes I do wonder about the ongoing care of the paint, I like the interior..... well I don’t like the blue steering wheel.... or the blue over the binnacle..... but the rest 🤔

The callipers yes must admit you’ve got me there 😄

🐀

Whilst at Lexus Cheltenham today and I know this is of interest to @Stuno1 @Bluethunder As well as myself I now have the low down on an alternative and cost wise is quite frankly amazing look at the below sheet. Incredibly cheap took a bit of finding though ☺️

I will highlight an aspect from the beginning the rear window and large trim surrounding are one piece and bonded in but are only £53.74 we checked 4 times after picking up ourselves off the floor, takes about an hour and a half each side.

Even the spindle grille and parts are very reasonable and everything is black.

Big Rat

I was at Lexus Cheltenham today and my feelings are well known on here about them a very professional approach from all yes the site is a a little tight and parking can be an issue but every other aspect is very good.

I was dropping off a set of isF wheels for a fellow member to be refurbed and Karl the sales manager was kind enough to bring this outside even though it had just been prepped over the last day or two, I think they look great only 10 coming to the UK and Cheltenham chosen to get one.

Found a handy manager to take the wheels..... thanx Sam as always 🤗

I agree with others a separate ‘F’ dealership hasn’t got legs sorry @tomRCFcarbon great idea but the market is to small IMO....

And for @Martin F information I did lift her skirt to check for a spare and........... er no 😂

Big Rat

@tomRCFcarbon I agree wholeheartedly with all that, I’m sat at Lexus Cheltenham now just brought some IsF wheels up for another member to be refurbed.

And a RCF 10th Anniversary has just been delivered and I’m going for a looksee and visual play will do a post later 😉

Big Rat

@Twellsie Rich absolutely post the pics when she’s looking her best ☺️

There is a large meet over the last weekend this month in The Peak District if you can make it check out the thread 👍

Big Rat 

@Twellsie Excellent Rich always want more members to replace the guys that leave, don’t keep us waiting for pictures of her for to long now 😁

And welcome to the forum.

Big Rat

This picture was taken at Silverstone on the 18th August this year, anyone on here ?

Big Rat

@Managh Hi Thomas welcome to the forum, as your first V8 can’t think of a better choice, if you look at the recent threads member who goes by @IIVORC post a good informative thread exactly covering what you ask as regards the 100k service. 

Buying one with that mileage is always on condition and if you can get one with full Lexus service history as well that’s a great start, there is one in autotrader now that’s still under warranty.

Remeber there are only around 200 of them left now to be prepared to travel and be patient, good luck with your search 👍

Big Rat

@PhoeNicks Nick that really pops fantastic bit of work.......any grease left in the elbows 😄

Oh and from a professional perspective......nice looking home love the contemporary look Grey doors/window frames white rendering and Cedar cladding which will ‘Silver Grey ‘ in time 👍

Big Rat

@PhoeNicks Nicks thanx mate yes they would go this gives you a bit of an idea albeit it’s an Rcf.........

Big Rat

@NothernDan Dan yes a good plate for the car looking at my info and DVLA data possibly been there since new.

Big Rat 

@Ashrez Reza thank you I’m immensely pleased with it, I’ve always been curious why in all other markets the Rcf and GsF get the orange and UK only Rcf get black....... ah well nice to know I’m the only one in the UK now 😂
