Lexus is200 se

[miken2k8]

So sold the is200 in jan went through mot with no advisories had the following 2 cars since

mg zs180

paid 400 for this. Easily the best handling car iv'e had direct steering lightweight with a wacking v6 upfront. Unfortunately i could tell this was a bit of a dog so sold it after a couple of months for 460. It had a rattly manifold and needed new brakes. There was a good car under there no rust at all.






On to my current car a 99 gs300. Went back to lexus purely down to the reliability this has 155000 miles on it. needed a new set of tyres for mot as tracking was out but everything works. It's a big old thing but still picks up speed ok. Paid £680 for this. Bangernomics for me is a nesscasity as i'm not loaded. but it's amazing the cars you can get into for such a small outlay imo. Will be looking to swap this for a cheap convertible for the summer. Hoping for an mx5 or similar.

Done a few changes to the lights led all round just looks a lot better. That's it for this though going to try the gs430 want my 1st v8. Has anyone tried one of these in mk2 guise?

Jacked it up today to replace rear pads. The jack collasped landed on the disc. I was shocked at how much of a monumental bellend i could be to not use axle stands. called aa man out and he replaced them both for me. The aa really is a great service hat's off to them. Did no damage fortunately.

Wish i had taken a picture it really was a cringe moment and i don't like to use that word.
