Your good deed for the day supporting nature 👏 It reminds me of an incident last year driving through Lindal on A590 and I noticed a hedgehog in the middle of the road. I stopped the car, put the hazard warning lights on then basically stopped all traffic in both directions. I got a pair of...

Great news, great outcome! Really pleased you got closure ☺️

I can relate and match your low mileage, my F Type has only covered 218 miles in nearly 3 months and never sees rain! I've owned the car for 6 years in July and it has only covered 8,294 miles. However we do own other vehicles.

You may find your first service in December is recorded as 6 months late on the Toyota online records for servicing. Similar thing happened to me when I purchased my F Type. The car was purchased new by Jaguar UK and it spent 6 months roped off on a stage in the atrium of a Jaguar convention...

Great news regarding the car! Sad news regarding the family emergency.

You tested the supercars in a false environment completely removed from the real world of congestion. There were no caravans, tractors, motorhomes, mother's creating mayhem picking up children. There were no pot holes or broken surfaces, traffic lights or 80 year-old Ethel driving at 22 mph in...

I fell in love with the GR86 after a 40 minute test drive and I'm sure you will and you also have the benefit of ownership 😄

Enjoy ownership of your long awaited GR86!

Enjoyed reading your post. I totally agree with you regarding the damping/suspension and the linear nature of the power delivery. Enjoyed using the wonderful manual gearbox too.

The transfer can be undertaken on line if you have the retention certificate number and the change is instant on the DVLA website. However, your insurance company's website may take a little longer to update before it associates your private plate with your car. From memory, my plate was not...

This would be a nightmare scenario for me. We very rarely take a car to the airport, usually use the airport train from our local station or a family member takes us. If unavoidable, we take the wife's car 😁 Hope everything turns out OK.

I'm not on the waiting list and GR86 ownership will now have to wait for the moment 😔 Our new build (bungalow) is now in full swing, so my money is being spent on timber frames, windows, glazed sliding doors and brazilian slate presently. I do have my F Type V6 which is a keeper to console me...

Couldn't have put it better myself! The extra allocation will give ownership opportunity to the individuals who have been languishing on the waiting list for over 12 months! The GR86 is a car for enthusiasts to enjoy, larger numbers can only be a good thing. Sod resale values!

Keep the Mazda MX-5 😀

Yes please 🙏
