Project LOLerCoaster - jimxms - 02-09-2019
Wanting to stay in the Lex family while also giving my wife and kids some more comfort and legroom I decided upon an LS430.
If I'm honest, its a bit of an ugly duckling, but being a 2005 model it's slightly less ugly than the early ones - and the one I picked up is fully loaded right down to the radar cruise control.
Why LOLerCoaster....well as you all probably know the other Jim has already affectionately his LS430 'doofus' - a play on words of DFS (sofa on wheels). So my project is going to be LOL (Land of Leather), Coaster (because you just feel like you're coasting everywhere in it) and LOLerCoaster (because at the moment the ride is making us all feel a bit sick!)
Anyway pics will soon follow once I have the car insured and can take it somewhere picturesque....

I struggle to keep pace with what's going on with your car(s) Jim! I have been meaning to give my car a good service for a couple of weeks now. In that time you have fitted many new shiny things to your IS, blown it up (not saying YOU did that, but para-phrasing!) broken it and sold all the parts, sold the car and now got a new car. I'm still wandering when I'll get round to my oil change!!!

LOL yeah, if there's one thing you need to know about me it's that I don't mess about
I'm @ work atm but when I get home I'll get some pics of the LS. That's if I can find a wide-angle lens wide enough to fit the car in! It's friggin huge. Feels like I'm driving a minibus!

nice one because youve called it that i now have an advert from scs advertising a layzboy chair at the top of the forum, so i think you should swap the drivers seat out as the first modification to your new mobile showroom

Mods planned are:
- 19 or 20 deep dish rims. Something VIP'ish
- Box of tricks to adjust the air suspension and make the car sit on its ass
- Possibly wrap the wooden interior bits (carbon / brushed alu?). At 29, I'm too young for wood.
- Mafia dark tints
May do intake an exhaust at some point too, but as they will give me all of about 5hp I'm not going to rush into them lol
