Red, heading from Dalkeith - Edinburgh around 6.30 pm. Has to be someone here given the no. plate GR56 ZOO - nice! Was on the bike so a 👋 wouldn’t have meant anything.

Covered 773 miles on Friday night / Saturday morning to meet the better half in Belgrade (she had been working there for a couple days). Yesterday we travelled to Banjia Basta in the south west to kayak on the Drina river. The road from Valjevo was exactly what the 86 is designed for with lots...

Yes, 141 yesterday and it just held there. Had the space and time for it to increase and even a slight decline in the road but it just held steady.

Got 138 mph on the autobahn today, pretty confident it would have been 140 if I didn’t come onto a hill! 😂 It gets up to this speed pretty well and as mentioned above the tacho was just shy of 6k for me. The German M340d in front definitely hit 140, in fact he probably ran into his 155...

Got on the Eurotunnel first thing this morning and got bumped up two slots so pretty much drove straight on which was ideal. Then 433 miles through France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany to arrive at Sinsheim to spend tomorrow at the Technik Museum, thanks @RedCarsGoFaster for the information...

Like a number of members I was deliberating whether to continue with dealership servicing after the initial three years and was leaning towards going with a good indy. However, I had a recent experience with the daily workhorse, a ‘21 plate Hilux with 84k miles on it. It went in for its annual...

Drove from Edinburgh - Folkestone, 473 mls. Oddly the weather was better in Scotland than England! 😂 For a sports car its GT abilities are impressive. Longest drive I’ve done since fitting the cobra exhaust last year and no complaints other than the cold start. Beginning to think @Sonic’s OCD...

First wash of the year and a quick spin before it rained!

Drove it for the first time in a few months after hibernating in the garage to avoid the worst of the winter weather and salt. Put some fresh fuel in and drove home the long way, nice to be behind the wheel again. Roll on spring!☀️

Thank you, much appreciated. 👍🏼

Time well spent, they look great. 👏🏻 Could I ask, what colour are your wheels? I’m looking to get mine done this year and that colour really shows off the details of the wheels that the black hides sadly.

Sounds like the way forward to me. You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone. 😉

Yes, good customer service is very much feeling like something from last century unfortunately. No, I never specifically asked and it doesn’t feel like it’s been adjusted.

2nd service carried out as a waiting appt today at Toyota Hamilton. As noted 👆 Pastries ✅ Coffee ✅ WiFi ✅ Car not washed ✅ But most importantly full service of all filters, fluids etc including diff oil and brake fluid, key fob battery plus one away with me for the spare key and brake fluid...

Got the second year service carried out at Toyota Hamilton which included the brake fluid, diff oil etc and all good. Very pleased with the service and would very much recommend this dealership.
