Bought this yesterday, my eldest sons mate said, I'll drive it around until you sell it for £150 per week, hows that? Do I want to let someone else drive it around though?

A bit loud on the colour front, but it'll sell well, only 50 (I think made in this colour) :-/

:-[ I'll have to show ignorance here ..... what is it? :-[
if it's a Lexus (that I think it is) you're right about the colour, each dealer was allocated one in YELLOW - The Golden Ratchet where I used to work had one of them

Lexus IS200, have you got anymore info on this Andy? Cheers :y

Sorry I don't. The lad who had it was one of those blokes that had one topic of conversation .... himself :-?. At 23yr old he'd done it, seen it, got the T shirt etc etc so you tended to switch of when he told you a tale. I just remember his car standing out somewhat on the car park and can remember him say that each dealer was allocated one. It was your suggestion that they only made about 50 of them that gave me a clue as to what make it was. The debadged grille confuddled me. ;D

At least you can't lose it in the snow! ;D

You can if you park it next to yellow snow! ::)

Plenty made for the worldwide market. 50 imported into the UK with TTE bodykit and 18" alloys.
Believe it or not they were known as "The Yellow Rose of Lexus"
-
a fella that lives opposite me had one exactly the same he sold it last month it sold within a hour of being advertised and his phone didnt stop ringing even once the ads were removed :y
-
a girl near me has an Altezza in the same colour
thats a nice one, my brother has an IS300 in scarlatti red
the brighter colours on the IS's are better than the metallics in my opinion!

How much did he sell it for do you know?

I imagine the answer to that is .. do you want it wrapping around a telegraph pole? ;)

Nice looking car in that colour, though - and without the badge I honestly couldn't tell what it was, which is nice if you're into the stealth look :)

Neighbours wife has a 3.0 is300 I think, meaning it's same but has a bigger boot/estate type thing.
He said it's been almost bomb proof. 110k from new and apart from normal servicing it's had a reversing sensor and a lamda sensor on bank one, it's mint inside and out and drives like new, bit fussy on set up, the ride is firm but still comfy, and it's plenty quick enough. Oh, xenon bulb went last week...she's been looking for something to replace it for the last year but can't find anything better for their use.
But it's a far more sensible blue. :P

This has 41k, very low miles, blue doesn't stand out though :D ;)

Cant remember, are they right or wrong wheel drive?

right wheel drive ;) (AWD in some current models) - and designed by the same guy responsible for the AE86 of some fame in Japan ..

Woo, dash and interior is quite presentable too, much more exciting than the usual jap stuff, (although I haven't seen the mr2 interior....? :-X. )

The MR2 (at least the Roadster, I've not been in a Mk2) is ... I think 'nothing special' is putting it nicely :D :D :D

Yeah I think that's the trouble neighbours wifey is having, other jap stuff is so dull inside.

True, although at least they've improved from the MkIV Supra..

Apparently they fired all the design staff when they'd finished the exterior :D

Oh its a yellow car - Alex one of the twins likes yellow
-

Oh a Toyota Altezza
-
Not very quick - I had one try it on while I was overtaking with the 3.0 I used to own.

Ah! That was the Toyota it was based on. The Golden Ratchet, as mentioned before hand, put his into Lexus for servicing at Lexus and was miffed when they offered a mere Toyota as a courtesy car say that as he'd dropped a Lexus off, he should be given another Lexus. He got his way but I'd have told him to go forth & multiply

a fella that lives opposite me had one exactly the same he sold it last month it sold within a hour of being advertised and his phone didnt stop ringing even once the ads were removed :y
How much did he sell it for do you know?
just spoke to him his was 03 plate with 78k on the clock sold for £8900 he did say he had roughly 150 phone calls and a queue of people wanting to buy it he also said he could of easily got more but needed to sell quick :y
-
Yeah it's not quick, but then again it's only a 2.0 :y
-
I might well have had an is200 if I could have found enough room in it. Terribly cramped, knees rubbing on the steering wheel job IMHO, and I'm only 6'.
Then again, a really lanky mate of mine has one and manages somehow.

the estates are called the Sportcross, available with either 2.0 (is200 sportcross) or 3.0 (is300 sportcross) engines
