I’m surprised you still bother, I gave up on that cesspit 4 years ago, like many things it was ruined by Covid. The bits that weren’t already ruined by the same four crushingly boring posters chiming in on every thread. An interesting review, I was surprised they didn’t mentioned the improved...

When my car was in for its MOT I had the displeasure of running a 23 plate Aygo courtesy car. I was expecting it to be gutless and awful (it was) but not expecting the constant chiming from the speed alert bollocks. I only had to drive it 10 minutes to work but I wanted to crash it into a tree...

I am also not worthy of purchasing ‘New GR Yaris’. Which is some kind of karma I think as I had no intention of buying one, was planning to offer my slot to a forum member if successful. Congrats @Ecsrobin as I know you genuinely were after one. 👍

Move to Wales. No water marks at all here as it’s soft water, I don’t even bother drying the car after a wash. Also no point as if it’s not raining when you wash the car it soon will be. 👍

I’ve cycled all around Lefkada and I remember thinking how good it would be for driving. It’s beautiful, deserted and has lovely sweeping mountain roads and hairpins everywhere. Somebody actually drove their GR all the way from the UK?

That caption is incorrect though, it’s the same roof construction for the original, just with added vinyl to cover the Howdens Granite effect kitchen worktop aesthetic (jokes).

I hadn’t appreciated that the MkII had a body coloured rear spoiler. Also, I would definitely choose that grey if going for one, might be boring but think it looks fantastic.

Now that’s a proper hot hatch. Was my first car too.

I actually moved here for the driving (and cycling). The year I moved they put a 40 mph average speed check on the black mountain road then the 20 mph speed limits everywhere else. The little fluoro nazis also like to camp out on the EVO triangle I’ve heard. I’d love to do a trackday at...

My wife suffered from this really badly for around 2 years. She was in agony first thing in the morning (which seems counter intuitive). This is nothing to do with driving but from running. She saw a podiatrist a few months ago who sold her some arch support liners for her trainers. Within days...

I can’t believe this, I’m genuinely shocked. I imagined that the world would have moved to teleportation and FTL interstellar personal transport, hell would have frozen over and Onehp would be be doing doughnuts all over it in his GR using the last known supply of hydrocarbons in the galaxy...

Got the old girl MOT’d today, on her third birthday. It passed with just advisories on tyre wear. Looks like my fronts are scrubbing on the inside edge a bit so should probably get my geometry looked at. Also had the 6 month safety check whilst it was there so £140 altogether. Tax is now £190 a...

Came back from Germany to find my wife has replaced her troublesome Ford Kuga with a new stablemate for the GR. I think they go very well together!

What a ‘tard. It’s a hatchback, not a submarine. What the f**k did he expect the outcome to be?

£45,000+ and you don’t even get the forged wheels? There’s definitely a bit of clawback going on!

I just entered it too.

I would want a proper Cayman rival in a new MR-2. Mid-mounted G16E-GTS, RWD (obvs) with 300 bhp and kerb weight under 1,300 kg. With the right styling and a decent chassis set up, imagine how popular that would be. Proper sports car performance with Toyota reliability and running costs. It...

I was going to say broken right ankle more like 😂 I’m not sure eking out every metre from a drop of fuel is a celebratory exercise in a performance car. It’s a bit like telling your mates you pulled a 19 year old fitness model but only had to spend 3 quid on the night as you shared a can of...

Where did you get it done? I’m planning to take mine to FRF Swansea next month so they can do my 6 month safety check at the same time. I can’t believe I’ve owned it for almost three years.

Awesome. It does 0-60 in 2.3 s. Was the driver asleep, or was it being towed by an AA truck?
