[quote name='zag' date='Oct 16 2005, 11:42 PM']Notice something cool about Lexus GS300 rear plate number .. did you guys notice the illumination on the number plate is of whitish shade vs. typical yellowish on most cars ie. on the e60 as well? Looks like white LED is used there. Love to have those retrofitted. anyone researching this already?
I know.. i know it is cosmetic blah blah...blah..

Drove behind a GS300 sometime back and instantly thought it looks cool.? It would be a nice change if possible

You pay under SGD 200K for a 3 Litre car and get lots of gadgets that come as standard; why not? Maybe......

dear all, i am here to report that i am suffering from MPIDTS.
thats Massive Post IDT syndrome. I feel that singaporeans r driving too slowly. I feel that the world around me moves in slow motion. I feel that cars on the roads shud be about 3x faster. I feel like i am crawling thru space backwards! Even as i plant my throttle down to get to 150kmh, there is no kick. nobody cares about me and my 150kmh. i have nothing to chase. i have no onc chasing me. it is not thunder storming. its not the same. i m going back to pasir gudang for round 2. who wants to come?
its so bad that i spent last evening looking for a 200m by 80m space to practise my reverse flick. alas, i chicken out...the 6th storey hdb car-carp space i found in bkt merah was just too.....errrr high!

Only thing is balancing with work commit with last minute stunt!

Hah hah toto, I'm feeling the same.
The biggest IDT revelation for me was how fun it is to drive in the wet, and on the limit. My only regret, I didn't have the guts to try a lap of PG with DTC off in the rain, now THAT would have been awesome. I'm still on a high....on my 2nd full lap following Keith, I was never more than 1/2 a car length behind him. On the back straight, we hit 180km/h, all I could see was his brake lights into turn 2, there was just so much water
Toto did you see at the end of that lap, the other two cars were like 15 car lengths behind
Keith was unusually silent throughout, think he was really pushing, I could see him catching slides in the turns. 
Imagine, 3.89km track length, we were over half tank of fuel going in, at the end of 14 laps (6 drivers, 2 orientation laps, + 12 flying laps), our tank was almost empty plus we manged to add 3 more stress cracks to the front windscreen . Fun or what.....bring on Australia!
