GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

I did a fair few inadvertent skids this morning (thankfully none so bad that resulted in skids elsewhere). Sport Contact 7s not great in icy conditions, who knew.
 
Silly thing, an opposite winter experience. Looking out the window this morning the ice that had formed on the car had made some amazing feather / floral type patterns…. Quite cheered me up, here’s the bonnet, although photo does not do justice to the impact.

Your photo captures it soo much better,,,,, made me think just for a second how good the car would look with a clear matt wrap in a similar pattern contrasting with normal gloss paint. Then I moved on,,,

Did you at least manage to make the most of the weather to do some skids or something?

To be honest...no. I was concentrating on not binning the car, and I'm not sure I am driving godly enough to make the best of the conditions (unlike in the GT86 which was much easier to slide about).

It looks like I had the benefit of some sunshine, weak though it was.

Not sure how many miles between here and Denmark. Weird that we both had the same on the same morning.

@Swizzle I've just had a chat with my MoT garage (booked for Monday) about this very scenario and he has said he won't fail it, if this is illuminated as I can inform him it's not a fault as the TPMS are not present - or something like that

Interesting, this is what i thought as the system didn’t show a fault just had no sensors present, my dealer didn’t agree though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Managed to fit a car wash in between the rain - battery plugged into the Ctek for a bit of a boost - not driving to work every day should bring the mileage average down - about to turn over 23k. Year 3 service early next month (MOT already done elsewhere than the dealer)

You might want to white-out your reg number on your green window sticker too 🧐
