    My new car :)

    Hey guys! Some of you may remember I was talking about buying an Integra Type S soon, but two days ago I ditched all that and went out and bought myself a new Lexus IS250. I'm over the moon - it's a manual in classic black with a black interior The only downside is that since the new IS was just released in Australia, delivery won't be until around February! Anyway, I guess I'm prepared to wait seeing as it's such an awesome car. I went for a test drive and found the car to be the quietest car I've ever been in, but when you floor it, it has awesome throttle response and turns very sharply. So anyway, I'll definitely post up pics when it finally arrives. Just wanted to keep you guys informed. Cheers.

    We get all but the top petrol version. The "bosses in Japan" rekon such a model would prove unpopular in the UK, where everyone is turning into a diesel freak

    No matter how hard i work,- and i do work very hard -i'll never be able to pay for my dreamcar.

    Wow, I've seen some cheeky attempts at spamming in my time, but just asking random people to give you $5 towards a car is just ridiculous! I'll pass thanks.
