  1. Have you considered the CLifford alarm systems? I think this was what Sanj (Mr Lex) has. It does auto closure of Windows, mirrors, sunroof. He also has the remote start option as well (very cool!) D.
  2. Yeah, as Marcus said, the pics dont look toooo bad. Have seen a lot worse. As long as there's no hidden structural damage, then it shouldn't be a write off or anything. Glad you're OK though mate. Must have been such a shock! D.
  3. I bought me a personality, but it hasn't been delivered yet ! :D
  4. Man, feel more sorry for the actual curbs!!! :duh: Seems like a useful product, although I dont actually like the design of those wheels. D.
  5. Have you conisdered it may be the alternator playing up? On some cars there will be some sort of warning light on the dash to say this, but I'm not sure about the Windom, and if it is likely to fail at such a young age anyway! D.
  6. It's such a huge shame, and massive annoyance to read that these sort of things happen to people. I cant really say anything that hasn't been said before, but I do hope it doesn't happen to anyone else. :luck: The most i've had to be annoyed about was a small dent in the passenger door when someone obviously opened their door into it in a car park. :yack: D.
  7. Nice one fella. Enjoy enjoy enjoy! :)
  8. Urgh!!!! Cant believe there's actually a bid!!! crazymad_bird your ebay name Aido? ^_^ D.
  9. ... he's fine! Just been speaking to him, and he's at home with his feet up taking the day off again! (The pain was probably due to sleeping in too comfortably...) D.
  10. Will try to make this with the missus as well :) And if people still need hotels/b&bs, try this link or this one. D. B)
  11. I see I see. Thanks all. Mind you, I find that I've got to refil the washer fluid a lot more frequently then my old cars... the fan style must go through water like its going out of fashion! D.
  12. Yo. For the Lexus gurus, I got my 02 Reg IS from a Lexus dealer, and have noticed that some people have put that the tripple jet windscreen washers was a mod-add-on. Mine currently has the triple jets, and was wondering if these were a mod installed before I got the car A recent loan car I had (54 reg) had the blade style, which I think are quite cool! B) Ta. D.
  13. Same here mate, but i've been chatting to Lex Croydon, and they said they will try a "Customer Relations" claim... basically a form of goodwill warranty claim. Will let ya know outcome... D.
  14. Wonder if the Lex will ever near anywhere near the HP of a tank... Bet that would drift... forever! D.
  15. Hope its sorted after a few tanks of good fuel. Was worried for a minute it was coz everyone was having a go on Da Aido-mobile at JAE!!! LOL. D.
  16. LOL! Fair enough man. Just that there's sooo many factors into working out MPG manually (I mean, I try to do it). But say cruising at 60 compared with 70 uses something like 30% more fuel (not sure on exact values, but it is very significant from what I remember), many posts regarding Shell Optimax, BP Ultimate etc. There's plenty of info about factors that affect fuel economy such as here, here, here and here Not offcially read/heard anywhere to say performance mods = better fuel economy, but a bit of logical thinking suggests it would (e.g. more power for same revs etc.) I'll see as well then when I get my Prolex IK! BTW, what rate comission U getting from ProLex? :winky: D.
  17. TBH, I do think some of it is psychological - its difficult to really calculate MPG without a proper onboard trip computer. :mat: And it does make a big difference on the split of motorway cruising, and town driving. MY trip up and down to JAE from Mitcham was very economical (not filled back up yet to calculate "exact" MPG, but have done 200 miles on half a tank...) Just worth bearing in mind. ;) D.
  18. Mainly cosmetic and gadget type mods... No performance ones as yet :winky:
  19. Agree totally - someone (can't remember who, may have been John), said to me all we had to do was show it the spondge and its clean. Black is da b :tsktsk: s though if polished up nice and proper. D.
  20. LOL! All "Mode" of cons... 6 CDS Players (think one is enough...) NVM ;)
  21. LOL. Bet you're well impressed anyway G. I had a drive in Aido's, and the S/c is VERY tempting indeed. What's next? D.
  22. U gonna get called in? Really cant believe theres ANOTHER incident!!! FFS. :tsktsk: I've got to get to work for 4pm today... by car...
  23. Funny you should say that ........ because I did (very little) but then I went and got a large sheet to cover em ! B) ← That was the first thing that crossed my mind when I read your post title! LOL. Now that would be nasty if your drive got covered in heavy gloopy think paint... D.
  24. Nope, not any more, as soon as the pen hits the paper, you're had I'm afraid ← ... i've had mixed opinions about this in fact... Some people say until its stuck to your windscreen, you can leg it... I would have thought they simply trace it all back via your Reg plate... Oh well. Fifty quid... 5,000 penny sweets... a meal out somewhere nice... twenty odd pints of lager!!! GGGRrrrr. :tsktsk:
