obvious question has to be:

After seeing the ED39 parked in your garage; Does it fit in your garage??????  :grin:  :jumping:  :P

Over the top mod list ;o)

+1. Thought you'd have stayed with German cars at the least.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

^ Me too  :ashamed:
They are a stunning car. When I'm 25, I'd love to lease one for a weekend. I've heard they're a real drivers car, slightly more enjoyable than the M3 cause you don't expect it to be that brilliant from a Lexus?

Top choice. You're clearly one of the many forum members who works too hard and is paid too much John  :laugh:

Nice choice! Did you drive an M3/RS4/5 too, if so how did they compare with the ISF?

Okay, okay

I can't let this teaser go on any further. :grin:

The car I took the pic of was the Lexus IS F-Sport, just by coincidence the next pic posted was also a pic of the IS F-Sport too :laugh:

Mine is a 2.5V6 with evry option ticked and a cruiser like I promised my other half. Cpvers all the bases and the wife loves it.

Leather and Alcantara heated an 8-way electrically adjustable memory seats.
18" lightweight alloys with 225 section fronts and 255 section rears
Sport suspension
Mark Levinson 14 speaker 5.1 dolby surroudsound system
Front load 6 DVD changer
40 gb HDD satnav
reverse camera system
Bluetooth through the sound system (tried this and it sounds like the person is in the car with you!!)
Aux and USB ports for Ipod etc.

A £55k IS-F would have killed my budget of £40k plus trade in for my ED30, when you consider my remit was a more sedate car for the road and a nutjob track specific car.

So £33k for the Lexus gives me around £20k for a trackday motor.......any suggestions welcome for the track car (not an IS-F though :P)
