I assume you mean so that I can earn the money I need to make this happen?

Want. Just look at how fast the speedo moves round! I thought it was in kph at first and thought it was quick. Then I realised it was in mph

Re: CTIIRWOIWAHO
This afternoon's musings have been for the Lexus LC500. Ticks all my boxes - just started to dip below £50k so still quite pricey. Probably tag it alongside the ISF as a car I really really like but always end up buying something else when faced with the decision.
They sound freaking awesome too.

A fabulous looking car!!!!
Re: CTIIRWOIWAHO
Have they sold any? I’ve only seen one in the flesh but I see plenty of LFAs at every car show so they’re like the most rare Lexus for me
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: CTIIRWOIWAHO
I've seen a couple on the road and u thought they were jaw dropping, the photos don't do them justice.
They don't half sound special

I decided yesterday I want to find an old Jag XJS and throw a 5.3 truck LS with cheap turbo in it. V12 Jags come with GM TH400 3 speed auto boxes which bolt right up (ish) to Chevy V8s. How hard could it be? It’ll never happen, of course.

Don’t they weigh about 2 tonnes though.
Always thought they’d be faster for the power.....until I found out they’re more a GT cruiser
Re: CTIIRWOIWAHO
They have quite a big footprint, they look bigger than an ISF, think poor man's FF or DB9.Mike1215 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 6:11 pmDon’t they weigh about 2 tonnes though.

Re: CTIIRWOIWAHO
Funnily enough, having settled on the idea of a 650i GC this last few days I've found myself looking at the Lexus GSF and RCF. Two things putting me off are the UI controls and the V8's apparent sluggishness at low revs.Matty wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 1:20 pm This afternoon's musings have been for the Lexus LC500.

Re: CTIIRWOIWAHO
They're not what you'd call "good looking" cars, but they've got a certain purposefulness about them. A massive plus point is the rock-sold reliability, but better yet is the Lexus customer service - not sure about the GSF/RCF but Lexus used to offer a cast-iron, fully comprehensive warranty on the ISF for £800 for 2 years! IIRC an equivalent for an AMG was more like £2500.Swervin_Mervin wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 8:27 pmMatty wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 1:20 pm This afternoon's musings have been for the Lexus LC500.

However, one thing that put me off massively was they were pretty much impossible to sell. Dealer trade-ins were shockingly low, cars used to hang around for ages. TBH I can't imagine any Lexus V8 is exactly an easy sell.

I should caveat this with my 10 year old self liking them very much and I still Liberty Walkify as many cars as possible on Forza but in real life the bolted on arches and extreme looks are too much.

Re: CTIIRWOIWAHO
This is rather nice; ultra rare X51 engine and Iris Blue. Apparently it’d only take a few hours on the ramp to covert a C4 to RWD.
I sold my C2, with 89500 miles last July for £14k. Nice that it was, it’s really a ‘6-foot car’ with cosmetic blemishes close-up. So I think the Iris Blue is worth the premium. Say with a bit of haggling so £19k, then a set of Ohlins + geo for £3.5k, you’d have a junior GT3 for £22.5. Lovely.
