They may have called out "GR" when they got close and realised what it is. If they targeted it knowing what it was I can't see why they would call out that its a GR. I think it is just bad luck again for you and I feel for you. Just payed new insurance today for next 12 months and last year it...

Bought my ticket a couple of weeks ago. Hope the weather is dry as last autumn the weather was poor and not a great turnout. Looking forward to it and see everyone there. Come on everyone, lets get our own spot. I don't think we did last autumn and it is better to be together as a group.

For me it has the right balance. I wish they would have made it so that when you switch things of or on.....they stay that way when you get in. I find it only takes a few seconds to switch lane assist off, switch imt on and set the 4wd button. I want a/c, android auto, adaptive cruise so am...

Congratulations on a good choice of car. I am also a Yorkshire dales driver starting at Settle then up past Ribblehead Viaduct then over Buttertubs, Tan hill pub for coffee then back down past Kilnsey cragg and back to skipton. This car was made for those roads and I am regularly on those roads...

Toyota have shown off their new direct injection hydrogen engine - not the cell that they have had for years. Its an ICE engine but using hydrogen. They have also anounced they have cracked the ignition problem with direct injection of amonia which they tried 20 years ago but couldn't get right...

The current GRY and GR86 are looking more of a keeper every day that people are talking about £45k+ as being the price of the new Mk2. I don't say keeper because many can't afford the new one but it is and always will be the orriginal homologation special. My head is now shouting at me to order...

More and more people are now thinking there just isn't enough of a difference between Mk1 and MK2. It would be nice to have this and that but nice enough to splash out another 15k - 20k . I thought this today when I picked up a new Yaris Cross as my daily and someone said I should have kept the...

If this Mk2 can only be bought online which I have never done how do you go about trading in your Mk1 to help you buy it at your local toyota dealer.

Its going to be a lottery who gets one so if you have a MK1 then just enjoy it as if you are keeping it because if you don't win the limited lottery.......you will be keeping it and when the disappointment wares off you will probably be pleased you still have the original homologation model at...

I forgot about the extra VED at £40k. It now feels to me that keeping the MK1 is the best choice. The Mk1 was £30k to £35k which seemed a lot for a small hot hatch at the time. Now, I think it was a bargain. I get my new Yaris Cross in a week as my daily and was surprised that the top models...

A few weeks now since the launch of the MK2 in the press and a lot of excitement with it. I now wonder when everyone has had time to think about it what would happen in this scenario: Last day in August you could buy and drive away the last MK1 CP in your chosen colour and then mod it a little...

Reading the comments on the ISA does this mean that the MK1 will always stay as it is - ie. my Toyota garage can't change it to the new ISA system one day when it goes in for a service without telling me. I assume that system needs new/different hardware along with software which my car doesn't...

I think that as time goes by the majority of us with a MK1 will realise we don't actually need to pay £15k+ for the new one. All we need to do is look after our current car really well and it will be a fabulous car for many years and that first car will always be the special one and when its...

I bet they charge a good price for that. Have done mine three times now - each autumn after a good spray clean underneith and a week to dry properly. Bought mine in May 21 and spent 5 months spraying the whole underneith with AtomMac. About 5 times before the first full spray with Lanoguard each...

The more I have thought about it today I have come to the conclusion for me is that the changes to the new MK2 aren't that important to me. I am happy with the seat height and mirror riser. I don't race or track so my car is more than plenty. I like the rear spoiler on mine so won't be fitting...

How many others think the new 2035 deadline will also be moved back. I do, which means we will have at least another 11 years of ICE cars. Europe will also do the same when they realise far too many people don't want EVs. So, when Toyota says these cars are here for a long run then we can hope...

The dash reminded me straight away of the Astra GTE. Good changes but everyone must remember the one we already have is a fabulous car. Interesting to hear that ours was always just the start and there will be more to come. Just ordered a Yaris Cross as daily so can't justify getting this yet. I...

My GRY is on a 9 year plan including MOTs. Yes, the servicing is important and could be done at an Indy in the next town but for me the warranty that goes with a dealers service is very important to me. I hope I never use it but all of my past new toyotas have had expensive repairs done -...

We are all just about saying the same thing - that it just doesn't make sense to have one as an occasional run about. The problem is that it is such a fun car. One advantage that I have over many other owners is that I absolutely am an average driver and always have been and know it. I haven't...

When I sold my 13 year old Celica TS and the young lad and his dad drove it up the road my heart sank. Even now 5 years later I look at the photo in the garage and miss it. I still don't know why I sold it - just a thought about saving on double insurance etc as I had a CHR as daily. Just...
