No, I haven't been on this forum today......really!

I have worked with technology for most of my life and think it can be too soon to buy a new product. With cars I always bought the end of run model when it was proven which is why I will not mod my GRY until any problems have shown up - but we should now be close to that. At 61 I doubt I will...

Certain people drive like that in Bradford all of the time - it's normal.

You need to get into the car, start it up and try and get out a bit more. :sneaky:

It's a surprise how small these old cars are but didn't realise it at the time. I recently parked next to a last version Capri which was the first new car I bought in about 1982. I couldn't believe how small it now looks even up against my GRY. Same goes with the XR3i I also bought. They didn't...

My spaniel was on kibbles for a few years but last Feb had to be carried into the vets as she couldn't walk. It was a yeast problem caused by the high carbs and seed oils in kibbles. I bought a book called "the forever dog" and this changed my mind completely on food. I should have already known...

I am planning to get there at 8:45 so will be heading for A1/A2. I hope we do have the GR Zoo flag up. Adam, I don't see why you can't come and play with the rest of us especially as you bought the correct colour - the more together the merrier. See everyone there. Met office says it should be...

The weather looks reasonably good. It says it is staying dry till 1pm then a slight chance of drops of rain with sunshine. Fingers crossed it works out that way.

Just paid for mine.

I will be going.

I suspect that most people use an electric car for local running about. I don't know the data but I guess that most could manage with say 150 to 200 miles between charging. If charged at home that would do me nicely as I have solar panels. If the batteries do last a long time now as the fully...

I suspect the 2030 deadline will be pushed back as the public are not buying EV in the expected numbers for various reasons. VW have said they are reducing the production target and pausing production in some plants. EV isn't taking off as they expected and those that do buy can end up annoyed...

Mine is my fun car that comes out for just that. This is every week in summer which is a 130+ mile drive in the Yorkshire dales. I use it to keep it topped up but also to keep the battery healthy. I have an AygoX as daily so need to use a CTek on the GRY and living in a city with horrendous...

Aren't all the GR cars a speciality car. I still believe quite a few people bought the GRY without really seeing what it was like and this is why many fell out of love with it fairly quickly. I agree with all of the points above thinking back at my two Celicas. It seems silly that people buy...

I had a thunder grey T Sport and had the wheel specialists at Leeds do the wheels to smokey chrome. They looked superb and am very tempted to take my GRY to them and have the black wheels done that colour. I wish I could have those exact wheels on the GRY. I can't look at these pictures hung up...

I am very tempted to get the black mesh grill that can be fitted over our grill - probably more now I have read this post. On a drive this week I thought I had hit a small bird that darted into the front of the car. I even stopped to see if it had hit the grill but it was fine just a few...

I thought EVs would be heavier due to the battery but the fully charged show looked at the new EVs with their much lighter boddies and even with batteries were no heavier especially as they looked at ICE SUVs. They compared many vehicle weights and very little difference was seen and many EVs...

Lanoguard and lanolin products need re-aplying regularly so you can probably guess what I would say to £675 as well as he saw you coming and his eyes lit up. Cars now are fairly flat underneith and sealed well so easy to do. Slowest job is brushing the grease on but spraying is a doddle. I like...

Have used Lanoguard on my GRY. I initially bought the full kit including the hand spray bottle - but have never used that. I just use the gun that fits into the container of lanoguard. I also got the grease and did all of the nuts and sub frame. An hour later I then sprayed the whole underneith...

Just been watching a few videos about new electric sports cars coming to the market in the coming years and they talk about mid £50k being the starting point e.g MG whateveritscalled with some of the well known makes being closer to £80k+. I watch these and think how much a bargain our GRY was...
