Show Us Your Motors!

I was kind of kidding as some of the VIP cars in Japan have ridiculous amounts of camber which isnt practical at all. It looks good just as it is

ahh yes! those guys are the "oni camber" club.. they're crazy and dedicated to the cause! not my thing.

But you admit it's a bit chavy then? :p

I mean this is OCUK so anything other than silver 320d or a black mondeo titanium is a chavvy. Never mind a VIP/Bippu style Celsior on chromed dishes, airride, big exhaust etc. ;)
 
Just back from a road trip / family holiday to Argyll & Bute area in Scotland. It was my first time up there and the scenery and roads were just epic. The Jag seemed like the perfect car for the 8-9 hour drive up there and then exciting driving roads to visit different spots over the days we were there.

Impressed with the average 31-32MPG on the long journeys up there and back. The car only suffered a stone chip on the front bumper and is currently a smorgasbord of dead bugs. I'm super happy with it.
 
Had my first proper drive out in my 2013 M135i tonight since picking it up last month. If the drive up over Hartside Pass is anything to go by, next year's Nurburgring Ring trip is going to be great :cool:

Great little car, just sort the wafty suspension issue out and it'll be perfect for a good blast around the ring.
 
Spending weekend in the Lakes with Corvette club, longest trip yet in the old girl, but 150 miles trouble free and £45 worth of ESSO Super at £2 a litre to make it, thirsty but could be worse:

Spot of shopping in Southampton, noticed a guy stop his scooter and stand there. I know that look as that's exactly what I used to do when seeing an E46 M3 way back :D

Really sparks in yellow, looks great
Thanks mate yes she does look good in some lights :Dbut triple layer pearlescent is such a PITA to keep clean with buckets of water!!! & the stone chips which do not show up on camera mainly along the lower bonnet are going to be a nightmare to get fixed!
 
if you want to keep it clean without a hose pipe. you can do either a waterless wash method or rinseless wash method
and i would use a rag company ultra black sponge (not the same material of a normal sponge) and some Mckees 57 OR something like a spray of Car Pro Echo2O

I can highly recommend Repair and Restore in Goole for any paintwork repairs you may need. I drove 2hrs to use them for some paintwork on my old Liquid Yellow R26 and the results were great and their prices were also very competitive too.
 
Any Lexus ISF owners in here ? interested in buying one what do i need to look for ?

plenty of info online really but they're over-all very good cars. I believe waterpump was the main thing to get changed.. also newer 2010 are the cars to have as they get lsd and better/softer suspension which for our roads makes a huge difference. Other than that they're very very reliable with little that goes wrong. I had the is250 which is basically same car bar suspension and engine and nothing ever went wrong on it. My mate has one, 186k miles on it and it never misses.
