Back with the Jap - jimxms - 24-08-2020
Hi boys and girls,
Well after a slight indiscretion with a very high maintenance German sort, I've decided that it's time to return to my comfort zone in the Jap fold.
I thought about the new GS430...but didn't like the interior
I thought about the old GS430...but it isn't the prettiest of cars
I thought about the LS430...but all of the good ones were way to far away
I thought about the RX300..but it didn't do anything for me.
So in the end I got this.....

Nah its staying 99% stock tbh. I may throw some nice wheels on it (if i can find some), get a suspension controller if they do them for the LS460 and maybe...just maybe make the exhaust a tiny bit more throaty. But thats pretty much it.

lol!
I saw one on eBay the other day with massive front-end damage and wondered how the driver had done it with all of the LS460's driver aids!
That was until I drove one for the first time yesterday and realised that there's so many buttons, displays and messages that he was probably fiddling with those.

Very nice! Looks like you have the fully loaded version with the TV and reclining rear seat?
Had a go in an LS at an open road event last year and was amazed at how quiet it is inside. Should be quite a change from the AMG though!

Indeedy mate, and also quite chuffed that I got both sets of the wireless headphones with it too.
Car has 1 previous owner which was a company, and they never went outside Lexus for anything. It has the most massive stack of receipts and history
It's worlds apart from the AMG, but I really can't say that I ever bonded with that car for some reason. I think mostly because the whole idea of having 500bhp in a road car is great in theory, but not so much so in practice. And even less so when family are involved.
