Default My new GS450h - just picked it up

My? I mean our new (to us) 2008 GS450h SE in velvet black with black leather and Mark Levinson.

Collection pictures only, sorry.






Over 40mpg (imperial) on the drive home, and that was with some tests of acceleration.

Congrats! 450h of either 3GS or 4GS is a pleasure!

Congratulations on the GS450h! Beautiful car!


On another note, do I spy a Texas A&M sweatshirt?

You do mate, well spotted! I was wondering if someone would notice that.

I spent a bit of time at A&M in 2013 doing some nuclear stuff.

Are you an Aggie yourself?

Alas, I am not. The original owner of my GS460 was, though.

It is in very god condition, sadly not mint, but quite close. It had 75,000 miles so is still just running in!

Not too rare, just not common.

On the plates. If you fail to display a plate, the fine can be up to £1000 but more likely to be £60. However, if the plate is obscured or removed to carry out illegal activity, you could be jailed for perverting the course of justice (very rare).

The good thing about UK plates is that I can tell what year the car is, what part of the year the car was registered and where it was registered. All from the letters and numbers.
