Funny stuff. Forget the PC people lex-aholic, dont like it dont view it. :tsktsk:

People are sold on gadgets and gizmos on all things. Lexus definitely has one up in those stakes over their competition. BMW, Mercedes etc all that comes at a cost. As far as stock specs, lexus wins hands down especially with the is250 at the moment. Was the engine quite noisy? reviews said that it aint the quietest of diesel engines.

LOL @ Jasper & Nick

Good choice. Enjoy your pockets feeling rather lighter in the coming months when you keep visiting the petrol station lol!!

I think the updates nick are dvds not cd-roms that we need.

Copies wont work in the sat nav reader apparently. Someone i know tried it. probably encrypted. To be honest the sat nav isnt that good at all.

Prone to 80's music(playing vice city too much!). Anything by elvis. HIM, CKY, Greenday(older stuff). Matchbox 20, Rob Thomas, Rammstein(when it calls for). Foo fighters, Alice in chains, Old oasis, stone roses, charlatans. Some dance from the 90's. Depends to be honest.

Agree with mat as you can end up getting caught up in the whole bidding thing and you end up paying more than its worth or willing to pay. Set yourself a target and stick by it.

This is the problem mate. You will worry now everytime the car is left. I know that when i was in cardiff(high car crime) for a couple of months i had to leave it in the gf's mum's, works secure car park. So basically just to go the gym or anywhere i had to drop it off then walk. We have cctv in operation at home so its cool. Its like escape from alcatraz when 3 security lights go on lol! Its not right when you cant have nice things without some jealous ****** doing something

Thing is they WONT spend their life behind bars before they cause more damage and misery. Better to catch them while they are at it then give them something to remember. I would take them away and torture them. I know of 2ppl that have done that, just wish i was there to watch. :winky: Hospitalised the culprits for weeks lol..smashed their fingers, hands, kneecaps and ankles. I have some brutal friends but saying i would do the same. My last car was scratched duffy so i know how you feel. :tsktsk:

I used optimax and got the same response as you maneesh. I only put £10 in to see, i got about 48miles out of it. Which wasnt good but it was mainly town driving. Definbitely felt a lot better and more responsive. A definite difference. Injector cleaner does this though with normal 95ron.

Wow what a mess. Glad everything is ok. Are you going to take it back to standard as i figure selling it as it is will be difficult?

Dont know what Mazda are like to deal with etc but it is a nice looking car with respectable power. Good luck with it.

Nice cars. Hope its more like the 1st one rather than the ridiculous 2nd one.

I just laquered the sticker parts to give added protection. Takes 10mins. Gives it more of a shine etc.

Greetings and salutations..the 250 is definitely growing on me. Dont think you will do far wrong going for that. Check out the other posts to see problems, advice that other is250 owners are having/offering.

They will beat it by £1. They did it with me but they didnt protect my NCB like the current insurance company did.

i think you will be fine mate. I dont think you will have a problem at MOT time. They are just bothered about it being in line.

Oh no, putting him on a carrot on a stick diet is a bit strict now Pip ! Has anyone here ever tried loadabollock steroids ? I can truly say hand on heart that I haven't. I did consider them was I was a spotty teenager who went out 7 nights a week down the pub, and didn't have a clue about anything, but didn't take any in the end. I think I'd feel sooooo let down to the fact that I only got where I did through injections or pills. I think the entire IFBB(any professional level standard) and even novice and amateur level BB's use gear. It is a must in any atheletes arsenal not just BB's. Look at the BALCO scandal in america where an ex-professional Baseball player(cant remember his name at the moment) came out and admitted his steroid use but even worse named and shamed current players, who were all subsequently put on trial!! :o This has led to congressional hearings about steroid use in sports, schools, law enforcement every field. Basically they want to impose even further sentences, greater than the current of 5yrs!! The fact it is a federal offence over there is ridiculous. :tsktsk: 5yrs imprisonment for performance enhancing drugs, please, and the s*x beasts of our world get the same, bollocks!! :tsktsk: What worries me is that we tend to follow suit in america's democracy of hypocrasy It's sad but steroids levels the competitive field today. lex-aholic like anything in this world there is a fine line of use and abuse. Abuse is just plain daft seen many competitive guys, some friends ruin their health through gear abuse. Our own Shawn 'dinosaur' Davis had to give it up relatively early in his IFBB career due to renal/ liver failure. A friend who owns a gym down in cardiff had him do a seminar and had the chance to speak to him. I have seen a photo of what he looks like now and it is a crying shame from what he used to look like (**** monster!!). He needed counselling and everything. Mind you so would i if i looked like 99% of the population. I love my physique and the respect it gets and no i dont walk round with the invisible lat syndrome lol! like a lot of wannabe juiceheads where the only big thing is the spots on their face and boils on their back LMFAO!!!

The FDA in america have now banned the diet supplement ephedra, it now falls into the schedule III of classification along with pro-hormones. Our laws are still very grey on the entire matter of 'prescription' drugs. Of course 'ephedra' Am, is nothing but a weaker form of ephedrine so they would be better getting hold of that to what they want to achieve. ;) They will be also wizzing their tits off due to the amphetamine like effects produced (thats why it came off the shelves over 10yrs ago). Hence appetite suppression and a higher body temperature (increased metabolism) which in turn COULD help in fat burning coupled with weight resistance training and a stricter diet. As stated there is nothing like a 'Magic Pill' or everyone would be walking round with less than 8% bodyfat and muscles lol! I seen that programme lex-aholic and was thinking the same. He got his act together when it was required for surgery so why not continue as you said?? I reckon that doctor should have lied and made him lose further weight. The old carrot on the stick trick

How does this work nick?

It's probably implants Looking at that bottom picture, he looks like a walking intestine with all that curvyness. Implants wouldnt be as horendous as that. As far as i am aware there is pec and calf implants available. A certain Lou Ferrigno 'aka' the incredible hulk is rumoured to have calf implants but then again Mr Schwarznegger started that as Lou was his main competitor during the early 80's who was also bigger than 'anold' I seen some Bicep implants on a bloke from LA. He had Pec, Quad, Calf, and Bicep implants. He also had plastic surgery on his face. From what I remember he was a professional hairdresser. I expect all his regular clients didn't recognise him, and stopped going. What is the point in that?? It would look fine until you touched then they wouldnt be hard just squidgey Why cant people just work for what they wish to achieve? As they say 'no pain, no gain' has no relevence in some peoples psyche. I know i feel a great deal of satisfation in seeing the fruits of my labour, so to speak and i work at it 5days a week. Each to their own i guess

Yep that the abcess that i was on about.. No worries Am, I have been training now for nigh on 9yrs so i tend to know a tad more than your average lay person :winky: Makes you wonder where all that synthetic oil will end up :o Yes, its PH balanced to the body but the body will have to neutralise it somehow, at some point. Hmmm all that ******* flouting about in your blood stream, rather it him than me.
