Whilst the cars are finally starting to drip through for some of the lucky early folk. I thought I'd start a little self-help group for those of us who ordered some of the last cars going.

Mine is due for build at the end of next year. No idea what to talk about until then...

Look on the bright side - Toyburu may solve the RTV issue by then so your car will be worry free (y)
 
Colour change for me so very back of the queue… potentially still 18 months to go 🥺
 
Half Full glasses , I was told middle of 2023 , it’s suddenly in build and due to arrive mid February, you may be surprised and they turn up earlier than expected , I wouldn’t rely on any info from the Online Team 🤷‍♂️

What colour were you originally and what did you change to?

Ordered black and changed to silver. The black looks really good when clean but unfortunately mine won’t be garaged. I have a black car now and it frustrates me how quickly it looks dirty.

Saw a silver BRZ and it looked amazing, really showed off all the lines. Having owned a silver car before I know they hide dirt a bit better too.

Nice - I didn't really care too much about colour. But thought that I hadn't had a red car for a while, so decided on red. Agree that black is a pain to keep clean, but it looks awesome when it is clean.
 
11:22 order for me.. Was told spring next year when they phoned up.
Hopefully see some later orders going into build in the coming weeks..
 
I'm starting to wobble on the colour, I like red cars, but I need to see a few other colours. I guess I have time, and changing the colour won't significantly affect my delivery date.

You'll have to change your Chatname if you do 😉
 
What has everybody done in terms of an 'interim car' since ordering the GR? (My situation is a shambles)

Have you bought something to fill the gap, or does it not really matter when the GR finally arrives?
 
I'm 11:11 time...feels like ages away
Just sold a 330i touring as got a decent price for it and bought a Celica (gen7) on impulse. Was looking at Mini Cooper S but any I saw weren't taken care of. Apart from the Celica being wrong wheel drive it's interesting driving a smaller lighter car after the BMW.

Bought this a couple of months ago to take over duties from the MX5 which is in hibernation now.

We actually got rid of a car (Audi S1) - that was a fun little car. Slumming it in an X3M Comp now ;)
 
The GR will be my weekend car. I’m currently in a 2016 A4 1.4 sport. It’s very nice, the interior especially and goes pretty well for 150hp. But I was only expected to have it for a few months and I’m nearly at a year now.

I don’t want to spend all of 2023 in it though. But part of me thinks I’ll upgrade it then all of a sudden the GR will be ready early. So not sure what I’ll do.

Andy has your MyT updated? I was told the same from online team but still says processing on the app and site.

Red looks awesome. I ordered electric blue, but seeing all the photos of it in red is making me extremely jealous.
