GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

[RumbleandSway]

+1 on the Brodie Phone Mount with Quadlock MAG wireless charging head [with an angle insert] & CarlinKit 5.0 - perfect

Drove the 20 odd miles to Falkirk through an absolute Pea-Souper, and had an additional immobiliser system fitted. Gave it a soapy rinse when I got home to dilute the crud that I'd collected. Booked in for Caliper painting next week.

Had a nice moment this morning when sitting at traffic lights in Stockport… I was right next to a red GT86 and beeped my horn.. the guy beamed at me and gave me a thumbs up .. We then and we had a brief moment of mutual admiration.. For our cars

Long long day for work in London today (5am start for goodness sake!). Nice to return to the station car park to my pride and joy.

Back home now for a peaty whiskey. Whilst relaxing in my premium lounge wear.

Nice ‘baggsie’ of the corner space there! My goodness, those spaces look massive or is it an optical illusion? Minor deviation: The local Tesco has resurfaced and repainted the entire car park and the spaces are now so narrow I can’t get in/out of my car if the next space is occupied. It’s even the subject of a local residents’ forum. That’s progress for ya!

Take an inflatable small person and get yourself into the parent & child spaces…

Spoiler installed today at Inchcape Toyota Guildford. Faultless execution and service.

The Rokblokz guards are excellent.

Looks so good, did you order directly with them? How long was the wait for it to come in?

Saw these Sparco/Puma 'Driving' Trainers and just had to get them for Japfest next year!

Rokblokz were quick - 7 days but they offer slower options.

However, just checked their website and they may have introduced a minimum $150 spend for international deliveries.

Paid:
Splash guards in black with laser etched logos @ $104.99
Delivery via UPS WorldWide Expedited @ $46

I emailed them, explained I required UK delivery. They provided delivery options and then emailed a PayPal invoice. They were very professional.

I fitted 3 quarters of the Focal speaker kit and had only the door woofer to do, then it started chucking it down, so I stopped.

Oh, for a garage.....

The spaces are pretty large. I've tucked myself right into the corner so there's obviously less room if you park in the entre of a space, but certainly wider than most supermarket spaces.

It's a decent car park - there's about 60 spaces and it had two cars in when I arrived at pre-6am, and 5/6 when I left in the evening. It fills up in the day but I've rarely seen it more than half full post COVID with the advent of hybrid working.

Just realised that today marks one year since picking up my car

Today I booked my complimentary first service (haven't been told there's a filter shortage yet) and I also noticed that Aldi are selling electric blue drink bottles and they're not even charging extra for the pearlescent paint.

Same here. The car knows it too and has started showing a message every day "Time to inspect the tyres".

Disabled Keyless Entry & Start (Door method). Now only pressing the fob buttons will lock and unlock the doors. Keyfob also has to touch the start button before it will power up.

Don't absolutely nothing with mine, its been in the parked up in the garage don't think i've driven it in nearly a month Got first service on the 18th so that will give it a run and fingers crossed no filter issue.

I was tempted to configure this as well.
What happens when I stall the car? Do I still need to press the fob against the start button to restart?

I'm pretty sure that power is still there when a car stalls, it's only the engine that stops. Probably a quick shuffle into neutral, press the button and hope nobody saw ...
