We only have around 220 in total in the UK. Since they came out I have only ever seen two, one of which was owned by someone who lives a street up from me. He seems to have traded it in for a RCF now.

Giblet how are the roads out there in your part of UK? I was offered an assignment to Brize Norton AB and was going to ship my ISF out there and figured it would fair a little better than my Supra would. Then the stupid AF contract fell short so my assignment got cnx'd ( i was depressed for a few weeks lol).. I even found a Lexus dealer to service my car ..

Still trying to get to the UK.

I've had mine since July of 2015. I've seen two ISFs and one RCF since purchasing (besides at the dealership). As I recall, I had no clue what an F car was from Lexus previous to bumping into one (the one I purchased) while looking at an 2008 Audi RS4. It was silver with a black and blue alcantara interior and sexy as hell. There were some blemishes but nothing too crazy considering (with a couple of exceptions) where those blemishes were I would most likely be changing anyways (like the wheels for example).

It's a 2011 and had 25,000 miles on it when purchased. I'll never hit 100,000 miles if I lived two lifetimes. I drive like 2000 - 4000 miles a year at most.

I live in Yorkshire, roughly 3.5 hours drive north from Brize Norton. The everyday roads are fine with the usual potholes as a result of winter. If I drive out for 30 mins or so I can be out in the glorious countryside where the roads are superb.

I tend to head out for a good countryside hoon on a semi regular basis in spring and summer regardless of what car I own at the time. Planning on doing the same this year once I've got myself an ISF. This is last year in my Galant VR4 -

Funnily enough the ISF I am viewing this weekend is not far from Brize Norton so I'll let you know what the roads are like around there

I'm deployed to Qatar and I've been all around Doha and haven't seen one yet. Which is surprising because Qataris love the Toyota/Lexus brand. Every other car on the road is a Toyota Land Cruiser or a Lexus SUV. The LX570 Supercharged are pretty sick. Seen a dozen GTRs/Lambos/Ferrari's but zero F's.

I'm active duty Air Force (Ammo) and I go downtown quite regularly. Got some of that good R&R in '09 huh? You should see it now with all the construction for the 2022 World Cup, the traffic is just delightful.

Cool photo.. I really want to explore the UK countryside some day. I've only been there once (London), and that was only for a day & a half
