Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

Fantastic car Jusme.
I haven't seen any pics. with the boot open. What's the space (and especially the width) like? (Golf clubs in  mind).

Yes Tunnie, there are a few running LPG.. Plenty of room in boot for golf clubs. One of the reasons I went for the LS instead of the GS, room in the boot for SWMBO's wheelchair. The GS boot is miniscule compared.

Ooohohooo don't mention LPG conversion on the lpg forum. Noooo. Not aloud, that. :(

"Can't afford to run the car. Then don't buy it in the first place", etc etc.... Rather Eejits. ;D

Although I would add, the Lexus forum is quite good, generally speaking.

"Can't afford to run the car. Then don't buy it in the first place", etc etc.... Rather Eejits. Conversely I read a post which said. ' converting to LPG allowed me to enjoy my dream car, which, with the miles I cover I wouldn't have been able to afford on petrol'.  :y

Many thanks for the kind comments. But what if it had been 'pale green'??? Don't think Lexus do 'pale green'??  Having released teenage son into the non cosseted world away from 'Dad's pocket', I now only cover about an average of 50 - 60 miles a week so, mpg figures are not a bother anymore...  :) compared to filling up sometimes twice a week as 'Dad's taxi'..  :y

Nice car... Lexus are a serious contender to replace my Omega when the time comes, but I need an estate.

Tunnie, they take well to LPG but I think Flashlube is a must IIRCC
