Hi guys, noob here with a 15 year old IS200 that initially I picked up to run over winter as my other car is a very low E36 convertible but I think I'm just going to keep driving it as a daily.

Had to do a few little bits to it but nothing major, just bulbs and batteries so far. Got some other stuff to do but it's all just running maintenance.

So here it is in all it's green glory!

I'm not sure to be honest! I have a bit of a confession, I'm not a jap car fan! It's the first one I've owned and I wanted to hate it - but I don't! As I say, I bought it as a cheap runabout but I quite like it, apart from the fact it's slow! I haven't driven manuals for years and always have big engines so I'm finding the 2 litre with is stupidly geared 4 speed a bit sluggish to say the least! I may be tempted in in upgrade to the 300 next year, I'm getting married in March so after that I may be on the hunt, lol, seems I've been converted. Big Grin

Having owned both, the 300 is a much nicer car.
