Lexus IS200 SE owner from Essex - t_sport190 - 05-08-2019

Not new to Lexus's many years ago i owned a Altezza RS200 automatic, sold it in jan 2006 due to combination of high insurance & young age now im older insurance isnt too much a problem but finding a Altezza quite new/low miles as my IS200 is so i settled for this. since selling the Altezza i owned few cars in that time, a Mitsubishi Carisma, a Mazda 323F sport then a Corolla T-sport i sold last july 2010, i did look into buying a 04 Honda Accord, Legacy(hard to find), RX-8 (too many problems + bad bad oil, fiuel consumption now i know why there dead cheap) or a BMW 3 series, C-class, Golf GTi(bit too expensive) and even a IS300 good thing i didnt as i had chance of being redundent a year ago but instead it was in march 2011 luckily i found a job few months ago so i can slowly spend some treats to the car:drink:

I love the pics mate.

I like very much the front lip you had on the silver one, have I seen them for sale on ebay.

That's a very nice T Sport mate, used to hate them but after seeing several at JAE this year it's safe to say im a convert!
