Sorry, the pole dancers (actually there's very poles) were not that hot in Bangkok, maybe I went to the wrong one......

Default Not the Polish dancers, Biker

Biker, are you a player for the IS diesel? That would make Flips day of course. You definitely went to the wrong bar in Bangkok. King's Corner was my favorite. Patpong would be a good place to have an IS. LOL. Just got to remember which side of the street after too many Singhas.

While an IS220d might be appealing it won't be available in US trim - which is what I would need. Like I mentioned an IS250 w/6MT will do just fine.
My memories of patpong are slowly fading ('94) but I seem to rememeber that any kind of car there is more a hinderance than help - some of the worst traffic evar and on the wrong side.

Default Memories of Thailand

In Phuket there used to be an herbal steam bath run by Buddhist monks. It was very invigorating and great for hangovers. There was a large tub of cool water and a ladle to pour the water over your head etc. then you would return through some hanging leather straps to the steam bath. We were so amazed at the effect that we convinced the Monk to write down the secret recipe. He of course wrote it in Thai and we got it wet and the ink ran. I think the steam bath was probably another victim of the Tsunami recently as it was right on the beach.....In honor of saffron robed monks I'll say that the new IS350 will be hotter than a Phuket steam bath!

That's a nicer turntable than the one the GS was on last year.

It will be nice to see it person in a few days.
