What gearbox is in the GR? Those are some very snappy shifts!!

This time of year attracts the most smiles per mile, and reaffirms my love for the GR. Those cooler and damper days, blasting along greasy roads leaving a wake of rustling leaves behind whilst others in more exotic and expensive machinery back off and contemplate putting theirs into winter...

Great to see a Brit clinch the title after so many years. Yeah I know he’s a fiercely proud Welshman but that’s fine 😂👏 Commiserations to Oliver. His year will come no doubt as he’s supremely talented. Same goes to Sami. Hey who’s now going to pester their local dealership to get a deposit down...

Potenza Sport Evo would be better for our climate if that is the case. That’s the tyre I was thinking of that won best all rounder

As well as winning the most recent evo magazine all round best tyre test, aren’t the Bridgestones the new OEM GR Yaris tyre for all MY26/27 cars?

I’d have bought the Super Turbo if I could rewind but preordered the Legamax back in early 2021.

HKS Legamax owner here. It’s very quiet but excellent build quality. I coupled mine with a HJS 300 cell sports cat and Whiffbitz resonated GPF delete pipe to give it the growl and tone I’m now happy with. Sound is subjective so get yourself to a meet and have a listen to some owners cars. 50...

Isn’t any change to the stock emissions control systems of a factory exhaust (both noise and particulates) technically non road legal hence the disclaimer?! Although currently only emissions targets are tested for an MOT. I bought a HJS around this time last year and was around £1600 including...

Anything that isn’t in stock they just default to 10 days ETA. Made that mistake with my HKS exhaust from them that took many months to finally arrive. It’s not just them I might add. Seems to be a common theme amongst resellers.

HKS Legamax is a very restrained but beautiful looking exhaust

Decent turnout today and nice to chat to some fellow owners over a spot of brunch 😎

Drove to The Stag pub in Challock, Kent to meet up with some fellow GR owners and enjoy a spot of brunch. Good turnout including an Ogier and Yaris GRMN 😎

I’m only up the road in Rochester so I’ll be there. Be nice to see some fellow owners. Decent food and drink in The Stag as well 😎👍
