Stix's IS200
Thought id put a thread up for my new car seeing as ive been on the forum a little while now, used to have a 1.4 8v vw polo 6n but it was poop. A combination of buying a lemon and bad luck ended up with it looking like an absolute dog.
So basically I started shopping around for what I could afford and I've always liked these so I decided id buy one! the best part is when i got the insurance quote through it was £300 cheaper a year than my polo! So that made my mind up for me and i put a deposit on a 2000 Lexus IS200.

Did some odd jobs then washed and polished the car on Saturday because the car was the subject of a photoshoot.
Here's a "preview" image I've been given:
Here is a picture I took on my phone from the shoot:
Then I washed and polished the car again because I was going to a DubNortheast meet and when I woke up the car was covered in bird ****!
So I went to dubnortheast, did a bit of Streeto! And popped my wing inside out!
