Default Introducing ...

Hi guys,

I'm new here and just want to introduce myself and my Lexus, hope this is the right place.

My name is Fred, I live in The Netherlands and am the proud owner of a GS300 MY98 since a couple of weeks (see pics).

The car is an USA-model that was shipped to my country a couple of years ago, when the first owner emigrated from the USA to The Netherlands. I have all the information about the car, it's maintenance, etc. from new and it just drove 41000 mile since then.

I have 2 sets of wheels and tires: 16" lightmetal ones and also another set with snowtyres, but I intent to buy 17"or 18" new onces after this winter. Any suggestions on makes and types are more than welcome (pics also, of course).

This car is reallly something else comparing to the (+ 300 hp) Subaru Impreza Turbo I drove untill now.

Hope to be here quite often and learn a lot form you.

Greets,
Fred

Welcome man - car looks awesome.

I would look at some L-Tuned wheels if you want to somewhat keep the stock look.

Regards,
Jonny

Welcome to CL, that green is a ncie color. You'll really enjoy the car. So by living in Europe does this give you an opportunity to cruise the Autobahn and open her up?
