Given that the scammers knew about her recent correspondence with HMRC, she should secure her email account. Emails are frequently hacked, and left unmolested for such occasions. A big money transfer deal relating to real estate or some other big purchase. They scan the hacked emails and find a money situation where they can insinuate themselves with insider knowledge.

I don’t think that they necessarily knew, it’s a scatter gun approach, if they call enough people, some will have current dealings with HMRC.

pits like if you get an email from the bank and you don’t bank with them you know it’s a scam and ignore it, but if you happen to bank with them and have current dealings you can get drawn in.

the answer is never respond to anything, but call or email on a different device to contact details looked up separately, and still take care

And if I’d read your original post properly and realised you were discussing the wear sensors not the pads I wouldn’t have wasted everybody’s time 😂

Don’t sugar coat it, 😂

Much the same here, only 911 and New Vantage/DB 11 on my list

Ones that would tempt me…. on the used market:

- Mercedes AMG GT - the new one just announced, after a year or 2 of depreciation or a relatively new ish current Gen AMG GTC or S (with the widescreen infotainment)

- 992 911 Carrera S (after some depreciation, the GTS may be a better new proposition but I don’t think it’s worth the delta on the second hand market). 

- DB12/11, again after some serious deprecation very new still, like the AMG. DB11s if you can get past the interior. I think the exterior looks lovely.

- Ferrari Portofino - always liked the idea of owning a Ferrari.

Be keen to hear what others think.

Having owed a 911 a Vantage and currently owning a LC500

they are all great cars, my heart is with the Aston, driving dynamics are with the Porsche but looks, interior and wallet are with the Lexus.

Snap

With the price of the wheels on the LC rim protection has to factor in

A recall on the LC wouldn’t be a huge amount as there are not that many of them

I think they are to busy stealing Range Rovers

Both great cars but the LC easier to live with everyday 

I’m on 9000 odd miles and they are probably going to need changing in 3-4k

Hi

I not sure if it’s the same set up, but I have an LC500

My fuel cap wouldn’t open without a lot of messing around 

I took it into Lexus and they made an adjustment when I got home it wouldn’t open again. they then ordered a new part and fitted it yesterday.

when got home it still worked so fingers crossed.

I am hoping to join one of the tours or events that get organised, if they fit around my holidays/ work. Maybe next summer as I would love to see different colours and trim and also other models

Sorry meant to ask how often other come across them and where.

Spotted my first LC in the wild yesterday. I bought mine 7 months ago, so this was an exciting event.

I was driving in Henleaze Bristol and came up behind a 67 plate blue one (I think hybrid)

The lady driving it pulled over to park and as I went past I tooted and waved whereupon she looked at me and waved back.

I don’t think she could see what I was driving and just thought it was somebody she knew (probably still trying to place me)

but it put a smile on my face for the rest of the day.

so how much ££££ are these wheels new to replace  ?

Malc

I think they are around £2500 each roughly 

others may know better

I am curious about the LC500. I see several of them for sale but who is buying them. I have a 2021 for sale at according to Auto Trader and KBB a good price but have not had one person interested in the car. I have had it listed for 90 days. I think it is an incredible car? What is it that people don't like? 

I would think that most people buying this type of car would purchase from main agent

anyone else think this?

Me too

Yeah it's my first one 😁. Thanks. Love it. Still can't belive this technology was available in 1999.

Love the colour

Congrats on the car! Exactly the same colour scheme as mine (sonic red with caramel / Ochre). It’s stunning.

Look forward to hearing about your comparisons vs other GTs you’ve owned! 

Me too

For me this is the only combo to go for

But we live in a world of varying taste thank god

or else it would be a very boring world 

I love mine

I quite like the rear wing

But I vowed never to have a black car again

Looks lovely when washed but 2 days later aarg

I have a Valeter come around once a month and the red just about hides the dirt enough to last that long

As long as we don’t get a sand black coming up from Africa lol

Nice to see some Arty pics for a change 👌🏻

Welcome 😁
