Don't forget to let him out when you've finished.

I've had a long history with Bridgestones....since 2007,every car I've bought has had Bridgestones.First was a Porsche Cayman..loads of punctures on the rear and fronts survived , although they started to crack between the treads.The rears were about twice the width of an average tyre so I suppose they had twice the chance of getting punctured. When I retired I sold the Porsche and bought 2 new Mazdas CX7 and MX5...both with Bridgestones..they were ok...the MX5 was still on its original tyres when I sold it 9..10 years later...with no cracking. although I suspect this was due to low mileage and being garaged. Then bought the RC in early 2022...again with Bridgestones!Last service and MOT,the very inside of the rears were very badly worn to the stage where they needed replacing.This time I switched to Continental SC7.I think they are better,but until the front Bridgestones need changing in a few months ,I can't be certain .Rabbers also has an RC and has a full set of Continentals and is very pleased.

Entirely agree....as my bank balances can show,and I can also sleep better.

I wonder why....? They never made a comeback,for some reason.

They often came with vinyl roofs....so best to delete the sun/panoramic roof option.

Your manual may well contain the answer.

.......but was it a leather chair or plastic?

I think you are mistaken...it is almost certainly a man made material,albeit with a leather look-alike grain.I would suspect the nearest it has been to a cow is the last time it went past a MacDonalds.

I remember reading somewhere ages ago NOT to use Rain X on the front screen,only on side and rear.

Is it possible that the protective film on new car screens is still there and was never removed.These films are sometimes of such good quality,they are very hard to see.I found a piece of protective film on one of my watch bracelets recently...after 4 years of wear!.......insert chosen Specsavers joke here..

He might be misdescribing the wheel centre caps.

Well it looks a lot better than that stupid Transit van thing with a pair of armchairs in the back and a Scania truck grille on the front.

I bought the car about 3 yrs ago and downloaded the Lexus update to update the nav system (MM 19).At the first attempt,I used a 64gb stick and it wouldn't work.Then I read the manual (I know..RTFM) and used a 32 GB stick formatted to Fat32 and it worked.I would assume that the system can only accommodate a 32 GB stick.... whether for map updates,or music storage. It's really simpler to use your phone as a storage medium.

I'm not certain on this,but my 2020 RC system only accepted a 32gb stick when updating the nav.system..I guess the same will apply to audio.
