There are safer places I’d put 7bags but it’s a nice motor

I'll take a time machine thanks, back to when these were £3.5-£5k...

Heads up that the first PH Sunday Service of 2022 will be at Mercedes World on the 27th March.
Seems an appropriate venue for a smoker barge meet.

Thanks for this, it's close to me. How does one put themselves on the list?

I think you have to buy a ticket from PH merchandising?

There will be a thread in the Sunday Service section, put your name down on the list.

Unfortunately Sunday Services are often oversubscribed.

Sunday Service Here

Wonder how the engine in the S500 is holding up after almost 200k?

[Sterillium]

I haven't even looked for the "watch" button.

him saying lexus is on a similar reliability level to a range rover is hilarious

yes old cars go wrong as expected but I'm pretty sure lexus is much more reliable. One is top of the list the other is always scraping the bottom.

hard fanboyism even if he does buy lexus brand.

end of day he buys old tired lexus cars and seems annoyed that he has to fix problems on them?

I have to agree grudas, I see his point that all cars need maintenance, but to argue there’s no difference is stretching the point…

If my OM648 is anything to go by, I’d guess remarkably well.

Sharing this not so much for the car (as lovely as it is) but because someone thought it appropriate to name their business "Titty Ho Motor Company".

They are on a road called 'Titty Ho', in the town of Raunds - I drove there once (about 20 years ago) to look at a car. It was a very pleasant drive.

I'm glad it's not just me struggling to get my head round the price

Probably a £3k car a few years back and it's got the ginger stepchild engine, but I still rather like this.

Any love for a Lexus GS450h, within budget and not crazy miles. Have the same engine in my brother's RX450h his has been completely reliable in 3 years.
Not for me as I've sold my CLS and on to something over thread.

Didn’t like him last volume. Gave this a watch. Still don’t like him.

I am reliably informed he is trained as an actor. On that basis it is understandable that he is making a living selling secondhand cars.

Taking all that aside, I do still really want to scratch the L322 itch.

It's Friday so here's a Friday fintail
