What vehicle do you drive?

Lexus LS400 How long have you had it?

12 years How much did it cost?

£52,000 Why did you get this particular vehicle?

The car came with all the extras as standard and was the first car to have sat-nav installed.

It’s still an excellent system 12 years on.

What do you like most about it?

It ticks all the boxes and in my view must now be a classic.

What irritates you most about it?

Nothing. It has never gone wrong; not even a blown bulb and I’ve covered 152,000 miles.

Is it good value for money?

Excellent.

Does it have a name?

My best car.

What is your favourite memory of the vehicle?

Setting the sat-nav for the very first time as it was very special at that time.

And your worst?

Being put in a ditch by a car overtaking another car on a tight bend coming towards me and forcing me off the road.

If you could own any vehicle what would it be?

Another LS400 if they made them.

What was your first vehicle? How much did it cost and how long did you own it?

A Mini 998. I paid £165 for it when I was 17 and used to go out rallying in it in Oxfordshire. I had it for 18 months and did 15,000 miles in it before I upgraded it for a newer Mini. It was awesome though. Lots of fun.
