I picked this up yesterday, 13 plate, DCT with 39k on the clock. I was going to look to buy the same wheels in silver as I didn't like the black at first but they've grown on me a bit now.

Not bad for a postie

I stopped being a postie a couple years back

Typically I'd agree with the black wheels comments but they don't look too bad in that photo.

I don’t see the point of black wheels - you can’t see the design, they might as well be solid black steel wheels.

To be fair those wheels in silver look quite wrong on E92s IMO.

I've gone back to my favorite pastime of owning financially suicidal cars,

Put my 03 ZT-T CDTi up for sale,

And just picked up an 08' GS 450h (my own pictures will be coming!)

This ones optioned up to the hilt, black ventilated leather, radar cruise, Full Nav + CD/DVD Changer. Full local dealer history, and a service 8 days ago. Just need to make sure my savings are in order, because with my luck the hybrid battery will explode in 6 months...

Not optioned at all. It will just be the SE-L model. Lexus didn't really do options back then. I had a GS430 of the same generation. Nothing went wrong with mine in the 60k miles I owned it. Very well screwed together although that was back in 2007 and so it was significantly younger than yours. The only thing that lets them down is the ride quality.
Great car with a very, very good stereo. Enjoy it.

Let me have my brag moment

Although you are right, I think it was only Sunroof(?), Ventilated Seats & Radar Cruise that were not standard ? Fingers crossed mine is as reliable as past Lexus cars I have owned. The ride quality is still a total spectacle to me, since my X308 Jag XJR a 6 years back, I haven't driven anything that doesn't have sports suspension or coil-overs!

Seeing the V8 Aston followed by an old MK1 MX5 with the caption 'Absolute beast' did give me a laugh. Thanks for that.

If I had to take one of those for a razz around a grubby narrow twisty B road, it would be the MK1 MX5. And grubby narrow twisty B roads make up loads of the roads around here!

I'll still have the Aston though please, it can wait on the driveway.

same, tbf I bet the aston is great to drive but it's a GT car from my POV in these narrow country lanes I would be focusing too much on keeping it on the road and less on having fun. And MX5 is a LOT of fun on narrow b-roads.

Akagi · 10 Nov 2017 at 12:36

I need another.

Here they are all uneven with a massive ditch on one side, I guess they're b roads for a reason

Only really found one decent set of roads which includes a few small twisties and no ditches

There are roads in space? :eek:

Akagi · 10 Nov 2017 at 16:13

Nowt wrong with a ditch, its those pesky trees you want to look out for!

mccarf · 11 Nov 2017 at 04:30

Purchased last week. Bit faster than the Micra I had

Nice!
