Default Lexus LFA

I get automated mails at work notifying me about warranty claims, parts recovery requests and service information. This morning I noticed a link for the Lexus LFA pre-delivery instructions had been released.

Seemed a little rediculous seeing how to remove tow hooks and fit the bumper plugs, remove ECU jumpers etc on a 300,000 hyper car when the production run was about 300. You could do that by word of mouth

They are hopeful then!
More people now know how to deliver it than cars will be built!
I wonder how many have sold

I think they are probably smarting from Akio Toyoda's blubbing about QC & want to ensure this time, everyone is in the loop.

You can bet the f cuking spring spacers won't be left in this one for several model years, unlike another Japanese car I can think of...

Wouldn't it be cheaper to have one or two people trained in the pre delivery checks and fly them whereever they're sold?

A Ferrari California and an LP460 is what I would spend £300k on!

You'll have to lend me your V8 for a weekend so I can get a feel for the AMV vibe!
