wrxmania Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Cheers Frank, It will be sad to see it go but I have more than had my use of it - its' been a great car and I would never have gone to a "normal" car from it. I am sure I will enjoy my new car too. Brian [] Link to comment
st3ph3n Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Spotted one on the way home last night Brian and they do look good indeed. The colour was sort of runny-ass brown though. Not so nice. Link to comment

[] ( guessing and no doubt wildy off but I am still suprised at this sudden announcement and can only deduce that you have been told get buy a more comnfortable family car cos there's one in the oven perhaps ?) CGS 100% NOT!! Thankfully [] Just time to move on in the car stakes - fancy something a bit more classy, bombproof reliable, rattle & squeak free, but modern, and good to drive. Always said I'd buy a new IS if it came out and was good. Nearly bought an IS200 all those years ago. Had the scoob nearly three years and not getting the full use of it anymore. Still love it - kinda sad to see it go. Brian Link to comment
west lothian scooby Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 i wouldn't like to be the poor ,unsuspecting person who buys your old car as it has had more hits than the beatles. hope they dont do a HPI check before they buy it LOL stevie p.s. when are we going to have this night out Link to comment
wrxmania Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Lol! HPI 100% clear of course. As soon as we can get everyone along, then we'll have the night out - every date I PM'd people about was out... [] What's replaced your wagon Stevie? Brian [] Link to comment
jcscoob Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Brian im sure you will like your new motor, a wee bit of a diffrent driving experance but good all the same, NICE !! [y] [] Link to comment
wrxmania Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Cheers JC, It will be a different driving experience - I am sure Lexus know what they are doing on this new car - it seems to be well reviewed. It is no rally car, but then again, neither is a fairly standard Impreza I suppose. Glad I have not been rubbished for changing car, or buying the Lexus - sometimes it is difficult to tell with this place what reactions will be [] My brother is really depressed because I am selling it!

jcscoob Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Brian Lexus came out on top in EVERY catogory in an Auto express test a few weeks ago, top dealer ! [] Dont mind you switchin cars just dont forget about us when you do,[]. Link to comment
wrxmania Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Been here too long and too many friends to forget about SIDC. Use SIDC for the people more than the cars really. The dealer has been exceptional and they are rated VERY highly in the owners club. Customer service, warranty and build quality as it should be. Lexus Edinburgh and the French salesman (who used to be an ex-rally driver, so knew the Impreza) Sebastien Zamora. Brian [] Link to comment
wrxmania Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Video link from the car on Lexus Japan (not the same model as my car but similar wheels & visually outside - thankfully mine has aluminium pannelling etc inside, no wood and a manual 6 speed): http://lexus.jp/models/is/ Brian [] Link to comment
wrxmania Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Not 100% sure. The car should be arriving with Lexus tomorrow. Then just need to sort insurance, finances, PDI on the car, inspections etc and I HOPE I should get it Wednesday or Thursday this week. Hope the DVLA gets the tax disc and reg. number for the Impreza to me before then too, to smooth the transaction. How are the (shirt) lifters doing?? Brian [] Link to comment
st3ph3n Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Lifters are on and very nice. Couldn't work out how to tighten both ends up fully, but then I realised I just had to compress them a bit to get it to do it. D'OH. You can get some nice ones for the lexus surely? Maybe tein ones. Link to comment
wrxmania Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Already has them of course!!!! [] Link to comment
st3ph3n Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Quality shows. Fancy a lexus next myself: Link to comment
wrxmania Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Quite like that - the front looks a bit low down - ie the headlights etc should be further up, and who are those mirrors kidding. Brian [] Link to comment
wrxmania Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Is it really going? [] [] Link to comment
wrxmania Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 Tomorrow is the big day...took a last couple of pictures [] Link to comment
