It happened yesterday afternoon around 3 pm on my way to Japarts in North London (Holloway Road) to get calipar paint. I was behind a car which was about to turn right into a side road just waiting for the oncoming traffic to slow and give us a chance to go through. Since it was a slow moving traffic, a white Van slowed down and flashed the car infront of me to go and it went and it flashed again for me to go, so as I was turning my left eye cought a black shadow coming fast and guess what BIG BANG, scooter collision at 30 miles an hour. the rider was in the inside lane of the Van (between the pavement and the Van), no chance for me to see him at all. I came out the car called both Police and Ambulance checked on the rider and it turned out to be a 16 year old boy laying on the floor, I asked him not to move but he wouldnt listen, he just kept saying I am alright, I am alright, emergency services requested to speak to the rider if he needed an ambulance or not but he refused at the end. In all this mess 20 to 30 people around us, I saw this lad identifying himself as the Van driver (Witness). Police arrived and questioned all of us including the witness and the teenager admitted he was on the inside lane. Police straight away said that the teenager was at fault. the parents of the teenager arrived late at the scene, they were shocked and horrified. It was shocking / scary experience as I was more worried about the little lad. but thank god he was fine, his scooter is a write off, front end damage, buckled suspension and unable to start it. Camera phone pics Passenger door and side skirt damage. you could see were the head hit the frame. rear door dent (not visible) and scratches along the car side view on funny note, the coppers were more interested in the car rather than the accident asking me about the perfomance and how much Bhp is pushing, funny enough one of them had Celica GT4 and I told him that both cars share the same engine except that mine is NA.

Hello m-tec & welcome to the club, nice car and my colour of choice :winky: . I just came back from Eindhoven I was there for a week and didnt see any Lexus at all, must be a rare car there, I missed the carnival too I wished if could stay a little bit longer to enjoy it.

lol, I thought I was the only one cleaning his car at night. another thing is everytime I pass by a shop or few shops, I always check the reflection of my car on them ( don't tell why I do it , cause I dont know why )

I just watched the match live on TV, can't believe it, he got knoked out in the first minute. it was shocking. (Sad Night)

lol, I can't believe I missed it, I live like 10 mins drive from the place

I am glad you ok, imagine people sitting at the back seat :shutit:, this is the worst accident I have seen so far on LOC, you should sue the merc driver.

I am keen on buying the Grom Kit , but noticed that mAltezza was having problems with it, can altezza owners confirm if it works with standard HU. thanks in advance

I am using Nippon Oil ENEOS Premium Hyper 5W/30 fully synthetic and I buy it from JAPARTS. link http://www.japarts.co.uk/shop/?sh=oil

I am playing GRID too (PC version), excellent game and realistic play... I love the flashback option comes handy most of the time

I second that, I have seen the same car a year ago North London (seven sisters road) it came right behind me and over took me from the left. gotta admit its a nice car with wide body kit (it clearly stands out from the crowd and it means the business....I mean it), I am sure some locers have seen this car before somewhere in London. I hope the owner is a member in here so he can share the pics with us ........ hell it will be a nice show car for JAE 2008.

I was bored last night and decided to scan all Jap sites for some DIY tips for our Tezzas and found few links below. hope you like it :D http://altezza.main.jp/diy_top.html http://www.geocities.jp/yancyabou/diy/diy.html http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~altezza-turbo/diy.html http://www.geocities.jp/idfuku/gita/gita_DIY/gita_diy.htm#4 I forgot to mention that you need translation tool like Altavista (Babel)

R35 should only be compared with Lexus LF-A or the new supra (if it comes out) R35 looks nice but if you planning to get one wait for the v-spec version which will be alot better
