OK- I hit the car sales yards around Greenlane and Panmure this morning. Must have seen 20 IS/Altezzas. Maybe even sold one to a customer who didn't have a good idea of what he wanted!!

I played with the TOM 280T but didn't get to drive it. Clutch is really heavy, even for a twin plate, but it idles and runs very smoothly. 7lb boost , 280bhp, rise height adjustable and a body kit. Not bad, but $60k!

Saw two Altezzas on FIFTEEN inch mags. Disgusting looking things with fat tyres, but apparently they came in on steel wheels. One had beige interior, seats, panels, carpet, everything. Looked nice.

Had a dealer phone me asking how I'd got onto the wharf to put a leaflet in his car before he'd even seen it! I'd asked the car transporter driver to put it in when I saw him deliveriing another car in Greenlane!!

Everyone was enthusiastic about the club, and I'm about out of leaflets. When I hear from Matt McNally about our web address I'll do the business cards, and Matt (Lsportline) reckons we keep leaflets as well.

Anyone else with some ideas??

OK Lsportline matt, send me the leaflet outlines you have to my email address and I'll try to get them printed. Make sure you pass those exams or you'll end up working for me as a labourer!

Gav, I just need to hear from Matt McN or anyone who is handling the webpage side of our forum and I'm all go. Should we go and buy the domain name Lexusownersclub.org.nz??? Cost about $60 per year. We should still have links from the front page of the UK and USA sites tho'

YES< i realize there are a few altezzas with hubbies, looks so crap, no leather steering wheel, no nothing, no fog lights....hehehe

OK, NZLOC cards this week in theory. The price for the superb black pamphlets needs a superb wallet behind it, so they might be a bit later!

It was a bit too wet to watch the Targa Dash, so I hunted 'racing Altezzas in NZ' on the web, and ended up contacting Steve Carran at Toyota NZ. I'll paste the email below, and you can see why the two 2L Championship cars are for sale.

I contacted Tony Head, the man with the Altezza in the Targa rally, and have sent him this web address. I'm hoping he joins and we can eventually have a trip to Hamilton to see his car! He said he knows a lot of people with IS/Altezzas, seeing as he races one.

I also asked Aristo Kat to advertise us on the Toyota Owners Club site, which he has kindly agreed to, (thanx Allan) for any Altezza people over there.

Any more ideas?

Hi Keith

Thank you for your interest,

The owner of the tarmac rally car is Tony Head, he can be contacted at Kea

Trailers in Hamilton.

I have attached a picture of the Altezza's taken at the Taupo round of the 2

litre championship. We have several CD's of pics.

Unfortunately the 2 litre championship was cancelled by Motor Sport NZ The

cars are currently being advertised for sale in the UK Auto sport magazine.

Local competitors could run the cars in NZ in an alternative class.
