Tried a new tyre dressing that I seen in some online videos; VRP by the Chemical Guys. Nice new tyre look...

Thanks for sharing that Malc. Very and reassuring and comforting to read. Guess I need to calm down a bit! 😁

My problem is that I live only a few hundred meters from the beach so I'm really paranoid about rust. I've had the car for 2 months now and I'm so loved up that I'm getting passion fuelled urges to spend money on it! I can't imagine ever wanting to get rid of it but I know that corrosion may ultimately take that decision out of my hands long before the engine. I had £600 left over from my insurance settlement so the plan was to spend that on trying to protect the car against the elements.

Waiting on a quote coming back to fix/respray the passenger side rear arch which has a semi-circle of rust about 2 cm in diameter and, some bubbling just above the chrome strip in the middle of the driver door. Depending on price and available funds, I may also get the rear bumper which has a few scuffs, resprayed. What joy this car has brought in to my life! I feel blessed to have found it. 🥰 Ouch! That's twice my budget. 😔 I can live with the bumper and could probably touch up the arch myself. I'll maybe just get the door done and a machine polish...

Picking up new car, Full tank of fuel?

Lexus and their higher level of customer service aside, it's an almost an old school thing now isn't it? Every car I've purchased in the past 20 years have had the petrol light on when I've bought it (all used) but I remember working for a Ford dealership (parts department) in my teens and they had their own petrol and diesel pumps that they used for customers making purchases. -
Got my alloys refurbished by The Wheel Specialist yesterday. After spending hours looking at different finishes I went with the safe option and went for a high shine metallic silver (TWS sport 1). I previously had a sliver Alfa 159 and got its wheels done in their black chrome finish but I always thought they were a bit dark for the car, so I chickened out of the bolder and/or darker options this time.

Got a new steering wheel tilt motor fitted today (£200 of ebay + another £50 for customs & import taxes - Japan) . It hadn't been working since I got my LS 430 so I was really looking forward to having the car present herself to me when I turned the ignition. I must admit it made me blush! 😉 Threw in a cheeky wee oil change too, to get me through to August MOT.
