Really nice, and thanks for the effort on taking the pics. It has a pretty shade of green and it has the diffrent modes and features that mine does not have, like the sport and soft suspension switch and the rear air purifier and traction control switch I only have have the ECT power switch on my ES and it is 96 versus 93? The exterior looks exactly like mine Nice one if i must say.

what type of petrol do you use, I use 92 octane gasoline here in the states, what is your equivalent?

Thanks for the kind comment.. I try to look after the bodywork on a weekly basis

When my Windom was in Japan it used to have 100 Ocatane...

at the moment runs on 95 octane but I can buy 98.3 octane fuel from Shell gas station here. The higher the ocatne the better the performance.. that is why 98.3 ocatne is more expensive.. And we are talking expensive in the UK... we are taxed to death.. we pay over $5 a gallon in the UK.. so we always go for the cheapest 95 octane...

By the way.. I also have these options of Heated mirrors and retractable mirrors

heated mirrors:eek: We only have 91 octane here, and i pay 1.05 per gallon of premium unleaded at Exxon. $5.00 a gallon would kill me, how do you pay that much in gas?

Default stereo solution

The problem wasn't that big as i thought. I just pulled off the **** and underneath there is a nut that was loose. That was the problem the whole time. I am glad i didn't pull out the whole stereo it wasn't even a part of the problem.

You have a nice car Steve mine doesn't have a signal blinkers on the side or a sliding console. You have cloth for the interior i have cream leather.

i wished mine was leather interiror.. does look much better... If the Windom was sold in the Uk then i would replace all the seats and panels with leather from a second hand motor.

Side blinkers are required in the UK by law... most imports dont have them but it came standard with the car.

Cost of fuel is so much.. having a 3.0 litre is not that popular here... anything from 1300 to 2000 is standard in the UK because of fuel costs. Hence we dont drive around that much and everything here is close and easy to get to.
