hehe yea.. I got a box of lex chocs for my 80K service. but they didnt even washed the car !!! was pissed as !! Paid my $800+ as it was worth since its a major service. This was at Sutherland. Now I gotta point out, forking out $800 was steep, but reasonble since its lexus. Least they could do was give it back decent or even take it to a car wash for $20 bucks !! or ven put the dam wash on the invoice !!!Their excuse...?? water restriction. thats just pathetic ... so.. I gave my work mates the chocs.. saying... thats a $200 choc piece ... thats a $200 choc piece ... thats a $200 choc piece ... thats a $200 choc piece ... (there was only 4 pieces) hahhaha still taste crap. cadbury is better. that was my service history. Wish they gave me the RX though.. I would get lost on purpose !! hahaha :)

hey.. Im keen in havin a look send me pics pls to - joe@mode.com.au hehehhe... looks like first in ...

hahah IT WAS ME !!! dam it !! yep.. unlucky as it was. I was doomed for the weekend. :( bloody cold at livo... geezz long story short.. 1. I called Lexus and the only thing is to wait til monday so their technician can check it out. 2. So i called my mechanic.. he called his locksmith and out he came... did his thing with the barrel and did manage to "click" the key over which was a relief... BAD NEWS... the "other" key that was used must have been turned pretty hard cause it damaged some of the pins - hence as to why my key would not turn and the security system kicked in... I can start the car, but I get a "clicking" on the key when i turn - so I would need to replace the barrel sometime during the week... I wont name the "person", but if u can PM me and hopefully we can work something out to get this fixed. cheers. ALL WE CAN DO IS TAKE IT IN GOOD SPIRIT & LAUGH !!! :) Other than freezing cold - it was a dam good KK meet. Awesome meetoing up with you GWIN... keep them gadgets rolling... send edwin a run for his money !! hhahhaha Finally - I just want to say THANKS to all the guys that waited with me in the freakin cold til the towie came. Top mates !!

wish i didnt own 2 cars and insurance for both of them coming in september and less $4000 from my pockets.. life is hard... what cant I be discovered and be RICH !! I know i have some hidden talent somewhere .... hahhaa LOL :D

hahhaa !! mate.. any chick and a turbo will get any dude for anything !!! ;)

hey all.. just browsing ebay now... and came across this.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=33643 how genuine or rare is this badge..?? or is this just another marketing sham ?? doesnt look to bad... and the fitting seems OK...

*BLEEP* !! hahhaa i want some KKs!! thanks for the piccies man... drooling already !!! :D

Name : Joe aka (FLEX) see my profile... Im kinda kazy to re-type it all.. :)

dude.. i cant wait to see your cars's silk shine !! Im looking for a digi camera this wek as well... I think for about $500 is decent. then again - the exhaust just gotta wait...

bullseye mark... hehhe marketing... no sweat... only problem... finance / capital ... yep.. thats always an issue... This is a start... maybe if everytime we have a car cruise.. everyone can donate $5.00 or $10.00 or whatever... to cover any cost in promoting ... for starters.. i'd get club stickers, banners, cards, etc... but you have to know what you want to promote... the bottom line is... what does a member get out of joing the "club"... besides this forum. a lexus dealer sponsorship would be awesome !! heheh wishful thinking. Ok.. I have noticed a jump in new members lately - so thats a good thing.

hahhaa most of us who own IS200 / 300 are badging to to say altezza.. where as you are doing it the other way round.. hye.. wanna swap cars and save me the headache..?? WELCOME !!!

nah.. just send 'em shots of your car as it is.. i think it speaks for all of us !! LOL hahaha 8 weeks.. geezz.. i think u be riding with me for the next 2 cruises.. hahha ;)

that would be something shane.. yea.. im not a fan of hots fours as I used to be.. too commercialised and not enough info. though i had puchased a few editions of speed and think that its an awesome magazine. I like the reviews on other toys / gadgets as well.. like electronices and fashion.. u know.. just to break up the auto... yea... im sure every one is down with this idea !!! I think we should forward all emails to matt's inox !! hhahaha :D he can take care of these things !! we got a matt of NZ.. and now one of sydney... ahahahaa you guys ROCK!!! go the thunderbird movie !!! hahahaha

oh really...??!! awesome !! usual question... wats the figure $$$..?? thanks matt !!!

dam yea.. i wouldnt mind one myself... my one is OK.. has a few un-removable marks... but as brand new would be good... :)

hmmm.. I sense an IS200 cruise to the blue mountains more than a wedding here guys !!! hehehhe

Go matt you DANOZ DIRECT man !!! yea.. no food or drink allowed. but it does sound like a good option. Im guessing its the same piece like the one at the back...?? oh yea.. while I got you here... can you find out a price on the centre arm rest..?? it comes in the 03+ models and after driving a courtesy one from lexus, I just love resting my arm on them things!! problem...?? its $1300 for the whole middle console + leather trim ....

whats the difference between the RS200 and the AS200..?? Im assuming it 4cycl ..?? and no leather..?? I guess for the price - whos gonna argue...

Why..?? heheh do you have one in Japanese as well..?? Im a little fortunate that I have some friends who are dam good with electronics !! and with a little patience and care, I think can work around this ... Figured I wanna do something different other than perfromance ... (cause my car's TOO LOW to go fast !! hehe ) and who knows... maybe I can get the system to do other things beside just telling me the best route ! :)

Hey... just wondering if anyone has the navigation system they dont want (or need) or know of where I can get one for the IS200... even if its in japanese. Im curious to do some experimental work with it... and no... Im not gonna destroy it!! If anything - it might be an improvement !! :) willing to pay top bucks !! thanks !! joe

hey ppls.. I dont own a soarer cause I own an IS200... :) anyway ... just browsing on ebay and came across the RARE as prancing lion emblem - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...2481764828&rd=1 theres about 3 days left on bidding time, so if you aint a member, its worth signing up and bidding for this item. I know i would if I owned this car !!! current bid is $31.00 and sure to go up real quick ! GOOD LUCK & enjoy ! joe

I was emailed these images a while back and Im pretty dam sure they are real cause I do computer graphics for a living and see this everyday... With technology these days in graphics, you could probably pass with forging this look, you know how hard it is perfectting light, shadow and reflections all together seamlessly... anyway, nevertheless - they look UNREAL :)

OK - If you havent seen these, basically get ready to really DROOL and say WOW !! Im not too sure if Merc did these to showcase their cars as a stunt, cause if anyone can afford to do this, its definelty them !! a showoff of these beautiful machines... what can I say - the reflection says it all. these are now proudly parked in my garage next to my lexus.. hehehe :) here's the link - http://nz.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...e_gallery&id=54 If you would like these as high resolution files, then just email (PM) me and I'll be happy to send them to you !! ENJOY. Joe
