Hello from an old new member. - Stoney - 18-05-2019

Some of you will know me from times past, and I have been posting the last week or two. I joined OJC on the day of it's launch, but have been absent for almost the entire two years since. This was mainly due to not having a Jap car, and for a year, not having a car at all. But now I am back, so I just thought I would say hello.

HELLO.

Currently I drive a modified Pug 106, and a modified (for off road) Discovery V8. I was not going to become a real outlaw until I had another Lexus, but have been persuaded! However, I have paid a deposit (to a fellow member) and I will be rocking an IS again by the end of next week.

Knowing how much you all like photos:

The Pug:

Looks fairly subtle, but under the bonnet has this:

Pushing close to 140bhp, with the weight of a Lotus Elise makes for a fun go kart around town.

The Landy, in it's most common state, covered in mud and on the back of a flatbed! Though I drive it to events, I've not yet managed to drive it home again! Reliability is not it's strong point, and at 4mpg neither is economy! (Thought the old girl is a preproduction model and 22 years old.) Though still some of the most fun I have ever had with my clothes on! Will need to be sold this summer, regrettably, in order to further modify my new Lexus!

Getting a bit more Jap for you, my old Lexus, some of you may recognise:

The part I'm most glad I saved "for my next Lexus":

(If the misses knew it was worth £2k+ I'm not sure I would have been allowed to keep it. lol)

Spec of my old Lex listed here: http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/19466/modified-lexus-is200-sport-kompressor-2001-pictures if you are interested.

Pics of new Lexus to follow, when I have taken some!

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Welcome back Smile The bits I have heard about your plans for the new Lexus sound exciting, take some tissues and pliers when you collect it cos I think there may be tears and an unwillingness to part with keys lol

Goodluck with the new car Smile [/COLOR]

Amazing fun mate. A few more pics of it HERE and a couple of vids HERE The vids are not that great, (and if you see me stall it's because I had no clutch function at all that day!) but on a couple of them the V8 sounds just loooovely!

Possibly so, but much like loosing a girlfriend then immediately replacing her with a more exciting and better looking one, I'm sure he'll get over it soon enough.
