  1. yes. sooner than i wanted i have ended up with one car too many, change of circumstances. i have two cars up for sale depending which goes first will determine the onen will keep
  2. Yes sooner than i wanted. but circumstances have changed. if it doesnt acheive the price i want , i will keep it happily.
  3. I do a few track days a year . And used to have a fiesta ST for the job which i sold last month. I am going to get a Yaris GR but wont get it until July. I have a booking for April and the wife wont let me track her Mustang after the last time . I wouldn't mind giving it a go in the RC F I just wanted to hear anyones experience with it? I have never seen one on the track and when I meet M4's at Brands the little fiesta ST kept up with them quite easily.
  4. meaning? It more a sheen than a matt. Also the bonnet and roof are glossy carbon items
  5. Its mostly engine management new ECUs, followed by autobox locking in low gears and jerky shifts. new steering pump and I kid you not water leaks in boot.
  6. I hope you are having more luck with your M340i than I am with my company one. there hasnt been a month where it hasn't been in the shop. its let me down on the side of the road around 3 times already. Never the same issue. my wifes X3 is equally as unreliable and it was so expensive after the options were added
  7. For those that have the matt paint the accompanying paint care booklet makes it look a daunting task. I am pleased to say that the easiest and best way i have found so far is normal neutral Ph car shampoo with no wax added and well diluted in warm water. and then a water rinse. sponge it dont brush and leather with synthetic cloth.
  8. i have tried searching for a solution to the detune on the 2018 RCF. not sure if the same detune happened LC500 model. Its enfuriating there is no info as to what Lexus have done to the engine or a solution to putting it back.
  9. I have a Fiesta ST Mk8 they seem to have good deals on them. I cant rate it highly enough
  10. With my last company in 2016, I had the pleasure of meeting the F development team at Lexus and the Interiors team a Toyota Boshoku in Japan . I was always impressed by their enthusiasm and knowledge for the subject . At Toyota Boshoku I saw the interior layout of the GSF I liked it so much that when i got back I started looking out for one! Hence buying the one you have now. I found a plate GSF plate online and added it soon after. We had notable times together, I used to drive to Bradford on Avon from london on a Monday to work and then drive back late on a Friday. The journey over Salisbury plane and past Stonehenge was always more enjoyable because of the car. I never saw another on the road and all that drove in it liked it , except my old secretary who didn't like me driving it fast ( her opinion "... oh my god slow down will you!!"😆 😁) around the roads in Wiltshire. When I stopped working and was back at home it was kind of surplus and I traded it in a for a new car. As Soon as I saw it being taken away I knew I had made a mistake. Still . I enjoy my new RCF despite its loss of 20 horses and I am glad my old GSF has a good home.
  11. Yeah they seem to have done a good job repairing the body panels after we rolled it on that long Moroccan trip... 😆😆😆 only kidding. It was much loved in my care.
  12. Thats my old one, I had it for a year and unwisely sold in in 2018. looks like its done very little mileage since then.
  13. It also drives differently to my old GSF. I wonder where it is.? About a year into its ownership I changed the reg to L500 GSF anyone seen it? piccie attached with the old plate, i traded the Mercedes in the in background for it
  14. Each to her own. I kind of like it, thats why i bought it. if lexus could give back the 20 hp they took, then it would be perfect.
  15. She does let me drive it 😄 but usually there are a set of missives like.... if you scratch it you can buy me a Bentley GT etc . The RCF feels like better made mustang. The engine is better, better screwed together and the chassis more sorted. But the Mustang is really nice to drive, surprisingly well built and feels a bit faster than the RCF but the engine needs winding up to deliver the power. There is one area where it is sooo much better than the Lexus, the Sync 3 infotainment on the Ford is brilliant, works seamlessly with my android auto on my phone, SO intuitive to use and the B&O sounds great Engine knocks out 466 PS (343 kW; 460 bhp) @ 7,500 rpm 569 N⋅m (420 lb⋅ft) @ 4,600 rpm vs The lower tune 2018 RCF 341 kW (457 bhp; 481 PS) @ 7,100 rpm and 54.6 kg⋅m (395 lb⋅ft; 535 N⋅m) of torque at 4,800 rpm Also it is half the price of the RCF.
