NOOOOOOOOOO..........it's just started snowing in Bristol !! As you may tell, I don't like snow - it means I can't get the bloody car out of the long sloped drive

The funniest thing for me in this thread is the flying cat !! Now that IS cool :winky:

The sun has just come out in Houston, guess I'm going find it cold in the UK tomorrow morning! Dude - we had Texans over in the summer a few years ago (business trip). They found it cold then - had to wear jumpers and cardigans when we were all sat in short sleeved shirts. Bring a few layers :winky:

That's where my shop is .......... ;) Aha - I thought it was some kinda country lane for a mo :duh: What do you sell in your shop ? I didn't know you had one

......and what are you doing parked up in a lane ? :D

That would explain why we couldn't use it one of the days last week....

This explains why you got an automatic

Welcome to our world....

Just found this : www.warnerstyres.co.uk They are agents for Pristine Wheels

That doesn't sound such a bad idea either (e-bay). This is something that I have never used (apart from to look at), so I didn't think of that one. Yep, the other two are the original IS wheels.

Don't you just hate some people :P :winky: The car was flashing on 1degrees this morning Mr Morse.....that's how c-c-c-cold it is here. Just looking out the window though, it's start to rain now !! What I'd give for some hazy sunshine

Hey Chris, Blonde jokes are different :winky: From what I've seen on the link this was just turning into an unnecesary back and forth debate. People DO have their rights to air their views, but as long as it doesn't get out of hand. I think ScarFace done the right thing by cancelling the "debate". But, looking at what I've just put above I'm sure this will bring in another "debate" Maybe this one needs to be cancelled so we can all just get on with talking Lexus and helping each other. :D

Blimey this is confusing. The ones which are NOT milled (which I presume is the criss-crossy reflective look on the outer edges), these will be your refurbed wheels as all the originals have the "milled look". The very originals which I think were on 1999-early 2001 vehicles didn't have the paint continuing behind the spoke. They basically sprayed the faces of the wheels ! This is why loads were took back for replacement - the way they finished on the edge of the spoke allowed rust to enter from behind. (You know if you have these wheels by rubbing your finger across the back edge of the spoke - if it's a sharp edge, these are originals; if it's a rounded edge, these are the later refurbs). When the wheels are refurbished they blast back the wheel and then simply spray and lacquer them, hence why some off your wheels are NOT milled (mine aren't either). To have them milled costs a fair bit extra, and you need to find a place where they can do this. The people who spray them in Bristol DON'T have a milling machine, so when you take your wheels to Lexus in Bristol they won't come back milled. Unfortunately for you there are some wheels which are already refurbished in your collection, and without knowing the colour code that they used to spray them it is going to be difficult to get a match. So you will probably have to have ALL off them done. I would get a quote from somewhere and then offer to meet the person half way on the cost - UNLESS OFF COURSE THE AGREEMENT WHICH WAS SIGNED FOR BY BOTH YOU AND THE BUYER WAS "SOLD AS SEEN" :winky:

Over HERE mate. Don't think that the thread was closed because of the "joke" but because it was degenerating into a slanging match and getting personal. Tempted though I am I will not re-open the topic by making any comment on the original thread. Thanks for that Mac. And like you put I'll just let it lie by not making any comments.

You're not one of those weird people who goes skinny-dipping in the freezing oceans, are you ?? I have my fingers crossed that you're just somewhere else in the world. Bournemouth is always a sunny place yes i have been swimming before in the winter.. it is rather refreshing. Going for a wee warms you up How hot is in in sunny Bournemouth today then ? OMG - you must be really thick skinned to go swimming in the Winter Either that or you DO pee quite often

I'm sure nothing WAS intended by your joke, but without me knowing what it was, I kinda find it difficult to comment

Sounds like your working hard on this controversy thing bud. Some people CAN take things the wrong way. But usually the best way to avoid this is IF you are going to post any jokes - make sure they're not pointed at any kinda race/religion/s*x. I find that everybody gets treated equally on this site and that's what appeals to me. It IS like having an extended family with a sterile atmosphere and I personally find that good. Just chill out mate and enjoy the nice people. I've caused a bit of controversy with previous jokes as well (not intended). It's just usually down to me reading a joke, and then forgetting to read it AGAIN before posting. :winky:

No snow in Bristol yet - pheeeew !

Nice car mate.....BUT.....is it me, or does that number plate almost spell TUNA ! :winky:

A woman takes a lover home during the day, while her husband is at work. Unbeknownst to her, her 9 year old son was hiding in the closet. Her husband comes home unexpectedly, so she puts the lover in the closet with the little boy. The little boy says, "Dark in here." The man says, "Yes it is." Boy- "I have a baseball." Man- "That's nice." Boy- "Want to buy it?" Man- "No, thanks." Boy- "My dad's outside." Man- "OK, how much?" Boy- "$250." In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom's lover are in the closet together. Boy- "Dark in here." Man- "Yes, it is." Boy- "I have a baseball glove." The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?" Boy- "$750." Man- "Fine." A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove. Let's go outside and toss the baseball back and forth." The boy says, "I can't. I sold them." The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?" The son says "$1,000." The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that. That is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess." They go to church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door. The boy says, "Dark in here." The priest says, "Don't start that sh!t again."
