Surprise Auction Win Collection - Lexus SC430 Acquired!

[Schaefft]

And we are off to our next destination. Breakfast is very multicultural today.

Ultra Fiesta for ultra energy. The Fiesta and today's vehicle were pretty much at opposite ends of the market at the time.

[Schaefft]

Almost Alpine scenery on our way through the Lake District today!

Monster Energy Ultra Fiesta Mango review:

Vague taste of Mango.

Chilli cheese sandwich was almost purely cheese.

You can find the most distinctive feature of Lancia Kappas in any supermarket carpark. Admittedly, the trolley wheels on an actual trolley look a bit big compared to the Kappa rear quarters...

Having not seen Top Gear for ages, but global derision, I'm wondering if they did a feature on the Cadillac Cimarron.

Cadillac Cimarron would be another very interesting choice, I'm fairly sure I've seen at least one coming up for sale over the last few years.

And yeah, it's the height of the roof line and rear quarter panels that really upset the balance of the side profile. A coupe needs to be elegant, with long and low proportions. The Kappa coupe is exactly the opposite and it's not like they didn't have the wheelbase to do things right.

Funnily enough today's vehicle had to face similar criticism about its design. Even I'm not sure whether I like it or not but the specification it was ordered in makes more than up for it!

I am indeed 

Not quite the same though. 
 

This week has been really rough for me. 
 

Two vehicles, one £300 and one £5000 have honestly kept me distressed 😉

 

So I have settled on tidying up a £10 mower for a friend. 
 

I think @Schaefft wins totally.

No, another hour to go before the seller might or might not pick me up from the train station. I wonder what car he'll be in?

The scenery and weather is tempting me to take the scenic route back home but time wise it might not work out.

Bonus points for the not-donut Berliner/Pfannkuchen!

Does 'Ultra Fiesta' feature even hairier muffs than the usual version?

Ahh yes. 
 

A Pedro special. 
 

He is killing me with kindness.  
 

I guess as I said “Life is Good”

Beware cones & large potholes where the landslip was hidden 😮

Bonchance

🚙💨

[eddyramrod]

Well he hasn't phoned from Barrow Station yet...

[Schaefft]

Looks like the seller is waiting in the car, which means I'll probably have to foot the bill for the short stay parking 👌Less hassle at least.

[Schaefft]

Once again we are in Manchester, our final destination for today's collection.

We are minutes away from the reveal!

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present you

The

World!

(According to Top Gear)

[N Dentressangle]

Ah, one of those

[Schaefft]

Yes, it's a 2002 Lexus SC430, in a very special spec, bought from a guy right here at the train station. Wcpgw? Let's find out on our way back!

[Spottedlaurel]

That'll sit nicely next to the Celsior and my old LS400.

And TG are clearly wrong.

[inconsistant]

Can’t see a car is it behind that massive shoe?

 

 

Nice buy! Want to know more about these. Happy drive home

[lotus3512]

I have a strange affinity for the SC430. They've been stuck in my mind ever since 'driving' one in Project Gotham Racing 2 when I was young.

[Schaefft]

Car is making a good first impression! Admiral's website much less so today.

[Bear]

That's derided? But it has a V8 and good build. Jealous!

[HMC]

Nice! Whenever ive sniffed around those I always felt they held their value quite well.

[D.E]

As expected! The exhaust tips don't look too silly in the pez station shot, they somehow seemed bigger in the ad.

Bought ToMM©, from Station @Chester rail station.

I drove home, he disappeared (with a bag of cash) for a train....

May your term helming this be as fulfilling as mine 🥰

Side quest, exhaust for an E30 project picked up on the way back.
