To the citizens of the United States of America, In the light of your failure to elect a worthwhile President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves properly, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today. Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The rt. hon. Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. ( Look up "vocabulary"). Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication (look up "interspersed" ) . 2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. 3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. 4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. 5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through. 6. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2008. 7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any merde. The 97.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys. "Merde" is French for "sh*t". 8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive Day". 9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are rubbish and it is for your own good. When we show you Japanese cars, you will understand what we mean. 10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy. Thank you for your cooperation. (look up "Cooperation")

I had my eye on this SRT Intake. decent gains, for not too much money. unfortunately, the piggback ECU is not compatable with the UK systems, so I couldn't get it :cries:

noticed today that my GS gives a single ping if you try and drive with the handbrake (do you call it the e-brake in the states?) on. yes - silly I know

As part of recent upgrade, we have introduced a new Lexus Gallery. This gallery has some very nice features such as - personal galleries - your images can be rated by visitors - visitors can leave comments on your pictures - visitors can send E-cards of your pictures. The Gallery has two main categories. Lexus Models The Lexus Models Gallery contains sub galleries for all the different Lexus models. This is very similar to our old gallery, and will hopefully help people to easily find images of the Lexus range. Members Gallery In addition to each of the models in the range, each member can now also have their very own gallery. This makes it really easy to link to only your pictures in signatures, here and on other car forums. To create your own gallery you should; 1 - Click on My Controls 2 - In the top left hand corner, select Your Albums 3 - Click on Create Album. Fill in the fields. Be very aware of the Public checkbox. If you tick this box, then your gallery will be listed in the Members Gallery. If you don;t, then no-one will be able to see your gallery. 4 - Add your pictures. You can then add a link to your signature, like mine :B My Lexus GS 430 Sport Gallery Every member can use the Gallery. Ordinary members can store up to one megabyte of images, and may have one personal gallery. Gold Members (who are our premier subscribers) may store up to 10 meabytes of images, and may create as many personal albums as they like. The old gallery is still available for viewing, and no images have been lost. However, this gallery is now read only and no new images may be added.

if you guys were Gold Members, then you would be able to read this thread and be able to save half your membership costs on buying that update alone. ;)

hey buddy! welcome to LOC

c'mon Paul - you know better than that. Introduction threads require, nay demand pics. don't make me break out the worthless without pics smilies on ya ;)

door open?

the problem is that our bank account is in the UK, and as such can only accept UK Pounds (sterling). We use Worldpay and Paypal - two of the biggest credit card handlers in the world. We do not receive ANY of your credit card details, we are simply notified that your card has been accepted. I ca understand your concerns, but as long as you use a reputable site, and make sure you are on a secure server, then you will be OK.

without any 'hard evidence', its relly not possible for me to say. could guess at some sort of reverse DNS lookup - but that wold be a guess. if it makes you happy - nuke the IP ;)

thats the IP address of one of the servers at our hosting company. what are you doing when you get this warning? btw - its not a denial of service attack. a few packets do not a DOS make ;)

top right hand corner folks! the old gallery is read only though - no more pictures can be added ;)

excellent! no need for you to do anything - I'll copy them across later ;) or would you rather add them yourself? thanks for sharing

drop me a pm buddy, with the username and password you wish to use, and I'll arrange the rest ;) we get around 45,000 unique visitors a month ;) You interested in sharing your tutorials, and having them added to the knowledgebase bud?

it may also effect your speedo, depends on the profile on the tyres you have. use this convertor to ensure you haven't altered your overall diameter ;)

Excellent! please pm me later with your username and password you wish to use, and I'll arrange for you to be added ;)

!Removed!-shot ;)

yeah - I am in the UK Denny - just over the water from Liverpool ;) 92Lex - I am deadly serious :) This is the link to the existing knowledgebase - Lexus Owners Knowledgebase. If you are willing, I will arrange for you to become an editor on the knowledgebase, and be able to post your tutorials in there. I will also create a direct link to the LS Tutorials at the top of the LS forum ;) Yes please 99lsguy. :D Would you also be interested in being a Knowledgebase Editor?

isn't there a release in the cockpit? on the GS and IS it is by the fuel cap releases.

I also received your pm. I must admit - I can see nothing too wrong with this thread. Differences of opinion are fine, and this was not going too far off the beaten thread. Its seems to me that the thread goes off the rails when you write off Steve's opinions on the basis of his age. That is an unfair accusation and one you should not make. I cannot see SW03ES doing anything except respond to the mud you started slinging. There is a feature of the forum software called "Ignore User" - simply click on the name of the person you wish to ignore, and you will see an option to do so. I will close delete all the extraneous arguing if this thread does not get back on topic
