This will wake you up Friday Threadsters.

TGIF gentlemen.

Please spare a thought for this poor lady whose Z4 appears to have broken down so she has to walk home.

In those shoes?

Congratulations marine boy. First LS of the year.

Obligatory petrol forecourt shot and my 1st ever fill up costing more than £100

First impression is, wow .... so quiet compared to my daily, the other Toyota in the picture

No engine/transmission noise, wind noise, can barely hear cars passing in the opposite direction, loudest thing I can hear when cruising along is my mild tinnitus ringing in my ears

Hoping the Lexus is as reliable as my truck as I've got a couple of epic family road trips in the planning stage

Congratulations. They are great cars and if you do suffer from tinnitus the stereo gives a great sound at low volume so you don't have to crank it up to make the most of it.

I've never been able to find it on youtube but the advert where the kid has taken his father's LS without asking and is subsequently listening to classical music is, IMO, quite an accurate representation of how calming they are to drive.

All the best with it.

That zipper looks jammed. I’ll give her a hand to fix it.

I think we will all forgive her Minor indiscretion.

Ok, ok...

Ls400 is definitely on my bucket list of cars but I also wouldn't mind the ls430 or ls460 for obvious reasons. All I ever hear about them is how reliable they are so I doubt you'll be fighting it at all regarding that. I'd say make a readers car post but I suspect it'll be a bit boring "another year past, just changed the oil and filter..."

Not quite a barge but old-ish porker and one of the few German cars that I wouldn't mind having and the kind of woman I'd happily get in trouble for (I get some interesting things come up on pintrest, surprisingly work related as well )

Probably just needs a spot of oil to get it moving......

Audi A6 estate, the nice shaped one.

3 litre petrol quattro £2000. Which is probably a bit tasty but Covid...

Lots of nice shadow pics too.

Barge royalty requests and requires an OE optional flag carrier, truly fit for heads of state/diplomats/carpet warehouse directors. Also useful come the world cup

What has been bothering me about this for nearly 24 hours is why is it 745 specific. Was the flag holder part number different for the V12 models?

That looks great and seems reasonable value if it's in decent shape. Always surprises me that a car dealer can take such crap photos though.

Great photos (sadly compressed) and an absurd price.

[rider73]

getting down to thread max - even in these Covid times - but will these ever be bargey?

with all that gubbins on the bonnet, i'd have expected a better 0-60 of 7.1 secs.....

That is the opposite of barge. And a rather unpleasant way to spend £7k IMO.
