Oh the envy. If I was someone who ordered one of them, I would so be asking for it to arrive to my door or the local dealer in the container.

Yeah, but the car has to be prepped when it arrives in the States and there are only a handful of Lexus techs who are educated to do that. I don't think I would want the guys at my local dealership doing it. (No offense to them, one of my good friends works in the service department at Lexus of Portland)

Well in that case then, send the specialist to the local dealership with the container :lol:

But then again, if it were me, I just wouldn't care if it could only go to one specific place. Just having the car would be the excitement.

haha - some of those blokes don't really give the impression of "specialist technicians".

Lots of special treatment. Granted a very nice car but IMO that treatment goes overboard with extra care.

Hopefully it doesn't overheat after 4 laps like the R8 :P

Over heats After 4 laps... man thats not bad for a 300K car... :P

It's funny how people raged on and on that the car would be a major flop yet every one of the 500 LFA's were sold, including 8 to Australia.. LOVE the engine note too! (Yamaha tuned the acoustics of the intake FYI)

How do you know there were eight sold to Australia? Can you link the source?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
