Took my GR86 to the Classic and Performance Car show at Chatsworth today. Was very lucky with the weather, and my car was on display with the other friendly GR Supra and GR Yaris owners. Thanks @MarkinStoke for organising it. Met a fellow GR86 owner who’s car wasn’t on display, sorry I forgot to ask your username on here, but it was nice to meet you and discuss our cars together.
Gratuitous picture of my car on display with the others hidden behind it:

No probs Nick, it's really good having a mix of cars at these shows, onward and forward to the next few shows on the list.
Wow, car looks fab.

Did you meet the owner of the Yaris next to you? Hopefully he introduced himself and you now know where to take your car for servicing . . .

I did, nice guy, but I'm afraid that's a bit far to go for a service from my neck of the woods.

Good lord.
I think our comrade Mr @Cholmondeley-Biscuitt memorably put it best previously - a "twinge in the Central Lowlands"...
That Blue is absolutely delicious! Is it pearlescent, metallic or flat? I often think that a flat colour comes up better after a proper detailing than some other finishes.

It's pearlescent, but you really wouldn't see it from a photo. It changes with the light, darker blue on a dull day, but a bit brighter and will really sparkle in direct sunshine (when we eventually get some again this lovely summer we're having).

Went sunset chasing this evening.
250 miles in the first week and I'm sticking to the 4K rpm running in procedure so far - a true test in self control. I can only liken it to dating a gorgeous women, you know it's going to be great, you are all giddy with excitement, but she needs a few more dates before going all the way.
Since I plan on making it a long term thing, it will be worth the wait.

Ahh, Swiss Tony. A legend in his own lunchtime. “[Insert whatever here] is like making love to a Beautiful Woman…”

The RacebRed/ignition looks great in the photo - It will feel like another new car when you break the 1k run and can unlock the full potential.
Take every opportune to do a run to the shops, coffee, petrol, pick up drop offs to get the mileage up

Any feedback after the gear lever adjustment... Was it worth the effort?

Haha, I completely forgot about this reference!
I may start stroking the inner thigh of 5k rpm in a few hundred miles as the anticipation builds.

No, just a 'W' on each buttock so as when I drop the soap it reads 'WoW' ...
