Hi,

I just want to say hello as a new member. I've been reading this forum for a couple of months. Here in Germany Lexus is not as popular as in the US. My dad is driving a 2/92, black/grey, with all options available in Germany LS 400 with now 380000km on the odometer. About me I'm driving a GolfVR6. In 93/94 I've been to California as an exchange student. You guys know that we don't have a speedlimit on most parts of the Autobahn?

They are all a little modified.

The Lexus just got the suspension of the newer model. The ride on the autobahn at highspeed is much better now. I also changed the yellow side markers into white ones. I will change the bumper lights and the back lights. I also just got 17" Lexus Rims with 235/45ZR17 tires.

The VR6 is colored in darkburgundyperleffect which is a special color for this Golf. It has grey leather, Eibach springs, Hartmann "Fächerkrümmer" I don't know whats it called in english. Grille w/o VW sign, big VR6 Frontspoiler,BBS 16" wheels,
wood steering wheel and interiour.
And a lot of little interiour changes. The car is fully loaded.

The Cabrio is black/black fully loaded 2.0l with minor changes.
