I saw front headrests and power assisted steering:eek: on a non-luxobarge ad recently.

That's some colour on the LS. Good to see it something that isn't a shade of grey.

Yeah but I could've done that. Anyone can grab pics from Google and claim they're his.

These are hardly expensive cars though. If one was so inclined, it's well within most people's grasp to afford to buy a few old tanks.
Taxing them all at the same time would be another issue.

On the Lexus forums they say this is the one to have. On first drive I agree,
but wait, I am after all a car slut, by that I mean I fall in love easily.

some posters are thinking I am rich. rich is relative, take a look at my user name, that should give you a clue. when I was younger, I drove cars with wiper motors that cost more than what the car was worth. and even with what I have spent, on all my cars, I still have paid less than someone who bought a new Kia Sportage. Well maybe a little more but not much.

I was more referring to the tax seeing as they're all 1400+

That's what I was going to ask. Surely they're not all taxed?

the Ls 400 (Thanks Ded Zebra) I got today is taxed until November.

How many of these Luxo barges have you got senior bill ?

Kinda unfair insinuating someone is a troll solely because they are able to buy cars some of us aren't able to.
I say fair play to you for sticking to cars which are of bargain money and nice big engines instead of those that spend 20k on a 1.6 diesel and sing praises that they save 300e a year on tax :rolleyes:

On top of the tax savings, Don't forget the massive savings these 1.6 type diesels give you on fuel costs - some people get 189 MPG ; )

I'm happy seeing someone like that too, it's just that usually claims such as these on Boards are unfounded.

I had the Phaeton to start and then wanted to show my son that I could have 5 of the best for less than he has spent on a poverty spec mercedes.
I kinda got caught up in the excitement and now have the Phaeton, 2 Jaguars
and 2 Lexus Ls. I need to sell 1 Jaguar and 1 Lexus. this will free me up to get the 7 series and the S Class I want.

Fair ****s to you Bill.

Jaysus Christ senior bill, that's some selection.

You must have a lot of car parking space.

So how do you actually use these, do you take a different one out every day or just drive one for a while and then move to the other or wha ?


Also, why do you have 2 of the same cars ?

Sorry for the questions, just curious.

Hefty tax bill on them all.

Why did you rule out the a8? Is it because of the phaeton?
Would you consider including anything else.

All in favour of renaming the thread 'Senior Bill's Luxobarge of the week/day' say aye.

Yes I think the phaeton or a8 are alike and I had the phaeton. As mentioned I want 7 series and S class

Yes tax is high, as to parking space is only a premium in the city. LucklyI have a son who lives in the country with lots of room and two large barns
Drive them as I fell at the moment, plan is to have the 5 at the same time then alternate. Have 2 Jaguar because when I got first I was so impressed I wanted the top of the range and the Lexus forums 400 is the one preferred and this came up I am glad I bought it it's probably a better car than the later one

Back a few years ago, (2 or so), there was a guy on pistonheads website in a similar situation to yourself with multiple cars. The readers of the website called his bluff and demanded that he picture his cars with a tub of custard in each picture, with each car. Not just sitting on the bonnet either, interior pics, with a named custard widely available in the local shops, (creamed rice or something).
Anyway the pictures were simply sensational! He had high end cars, including rolls Royce and Aston Martins et Al with pictures of a tub of creamed rice on the steering wheel of an Aston and on the bonnet of a Bentley with the car cover only revealing part of the car. The way he did it was excellent and proved beyond doubt that he did indeed own the mouthwatering selection of car flagships that he said he did.
So, we want some shots of your car's with a tub of custard (or whatever) in them, and interior shots too to prove that they are yours.
You will be my hero then.

Edit: correct me if I got the cars wrong, I can't remember exactly.....

No you're not going demented. Take a picture with a carton of custard on the car. Its solid proof the person isn't lieing as you won't find a picture like that on google.

bear1

Where I can see some of the posters points aka Ba Barabus, Cadaliac that we don't want to be lead on for pages and pages, but I just can't see why someone needs to prove that they own said cars.
If the person is lying it's seriously just sad and pathetic and I can't see the point of trolling either.
The person is obviously financially well off but asking them to take multiple pictures of cars with custard inside and out is just silly.

The custard is really just a joke that came from a joke on here one night. I've no issue at all, if he says he owns them then good for him. They aren't the biggest financial commitment tbh

I forgot that's where it came from. I thought it was unusual for me to have a good original idea lol

Senior Bill

No guys I will not be posting photos with custard or socks

I do invite Sobanek,he posted the first Jaguar, Ded Zebra who posted the Lexus 400 and LimerickMan who posted link to the pictures thread.
All or any of the above can have my phone number and arrange to see,
and (if I think normal people)drive the cars.

And that's where I'm leaving it.

Any nice luxobarges spotted today for is to drool over?

I'm thinking about for a week now to go and see that S430 and there's one S500 too for a similar price on Donedeal. Haven't rang seller yet, just can't make me head around wheter W220 is a decent car or money drainer. Heard they have lots of sensors that cause lots of problems and that air suspension...I had W140 before and it was very good.
