I'm glad the car's gone to an enthusiast... Welcome to the forum Mike... I'll be back one day :)

I’ve always liked the MX5, especially the RF .. If I bought one then I’d get around the golf club issue with a locker at the club.. They’re dead man’s shoes as they’re all taken but I’m on the waiting list.. I’ll find out who has them and fire golf balls at them 😎 The GR has gone.. The new...

My lad has a lovely Leon FR (Oil Burner), my other son a Leon Cupra and a Polo GTI... I do like the German (Spanish) cars

I'd love an S2000 but I'd be reluctant to have one and let it degrade outside as I don't have a garage....

Apologies to the mods for asking this question in the GR86 Prices thread... As the thread title suggests, My GR is going tomorrow and I want a second "fun" car for around the £10k mark. I'd be happy to go up a little and incur the wrath of SWMBO for the right motor... I'd like something that...

Cheers Mike

I've got the same dilemma with the Lexus we bought... Zero saving on the RRP for the services I'll get over the three years If I take out the plan plus I have to pay £285 for each of the two intermediate services that in reality are an oil and filter change and a "vehicle check". I was about...

They’re bound to start fetching higher prices now mine’s sold 😉

I sold my 73 plate yesterday (collection on Saturday) for £27,600 with ~8k miles, no PPF or Ceramic.. two areas that need to be addressed with paint (a stone chip that I f*cked up trying to flatten the clear coat from the touch up kit and the small plastic rear wheel arch extender that some kind...

A good wash before the light rain came.. Viewing tomorrow I’m currently non plussed about it selling.. I’d be quite happy to keep it as a second car and let the mileage (8,300) balance out now it’s not a daily driver.. SWMBO is resigned to it staying if it doesn’t sell so I’m under no real...

Why oh why did I wait until the point of selling the GR to make this <5 minute adjustment... 2nd gear was bugging me but I put it down to my driving... I've just done the adjustment with a 2mm lolly stick and the gear change is transformed... Smooth as silk

It’s far too clean ;-)

No… A Lexus UX Saved £5,500 via Forces Cars Direct so not all bad.. Great to drive but a little bland.. The insurance was a shock, ~£280 for the GR but they quoted £530 for the Lexus.. managed to get it for £350 but it’s still higher than the Toyota 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m doing the same… I was offered a commissioned sale by a local performance car place returning ~£27,500 but there’s no guarantee and I’ve had one guy view the car (batch 1 owner who sold and regretted it) but he backed out.. Just over 8k now and she’s still not gone over 5,000 revs 😊 New car...

Madness… The GR’s going in the next couple of weeks and she cost me ~£280 for the year fully comp…. Called for a quote in the Lexus we’re picking up on the 2nd of September and the quote was £530 🤬🤷🏻‍♂️
