That is a beaut. I mean, what would easier; Walking into a Toyota garage and putting down a £250 deposit on credit card and getting a GR Yaris on 0% finance or; Buying a hybrid and doing everything you’ve said, including a new set of forged BBS wheels and upgrading the brakes, oh what’s the...

Her: ‘It’s only a car!’ after kerbing a wheel. Him: ‘You sound like my ex-wife’. Her: ‘But you haven’t been married before?’ Him: ‘I know’.

£730,000.

I switch between the GRY and 172 Cup regularly and I enjoy driving both. I love the solidity, mid range grunt and grip of the Yaris, and I love the simplicity and rawness of the Clio. And the fact that it never beeps at me, ever, for any reason. You can drive it straight into a tree and it won’t...

Autoglym Detailing Brush Meguires Ultimate Wheel Cleaner I’ve had two of the brushes over the last 20 years of car ownership (gulp), second one is still going strong with no bristle loss. It’s really stiff but with soft ends so doesn’t scratch the paint. The wheel cleaner is nothing special...

I use a Jet wash with snow foam, then spray some non corrosive wheel cleaner on there and leave for a bit, then use normal car shampoo in a bucket and get in there with a wheel brush and detailing brush. The detailing brush is the best as it gets the dust and grime out of the inner corners where...

Get out.

I too recognised it as a 280 Brooklands library photo but chose not to be ‘that guy’ and point it out. 😂 My dad had a 1.6 GL in black. He was a copper and his colleagues all took the piss as it was a drug dealers car, apparently.

1988 Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi, in 2004. Replaced two years later by a Clio Trophy, but never forgotten.

They have serial numbers and are programmed in at their correct position. So if you swap the wheels and tyres around they will be reporting the wrong tyre.

I’d read (on here I think) that track mode existed to keep the rear diff cool as long as possible, as it’s taking less load, 50% rather than 70%. There’s a video somewhere with the GR engineer talking about it in Japanese. Without expert mode on the electronic nannies do weird things to the...

Don’t do that!!! Vaseline just burns off. I’ve heard GT-85 or even brake fluid is much better, really penetrates the pads.

It’s very easy to just forget how capable the car is and even start to find it a bit boring. Then you have that one drive where the roads are interesting and the conditions not ideal (ideal for the GRY) and it reminds you how special it is. It demands that you up your game and meet it at a...

I’d rather they didn’t show on what’s new, but other than that, it’s a nice feature.

It won’t let me rewind that far. 2023, we’re about to be taken over by Skynet and turned into human batteries but I can’t rewind a livestream. I’m waiting for my car at Swansea Toyota, having its comms recall and 6 month safety check done and I’m bored. Should have gone to Goodwood.

Carbon, or carbon fibre is carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). If it’s heavier it’s because it’s thicker or has more reinforcement. I’d like to understand the thinking behind fitting a heavier aftermarket bonnet. I understand aesthetics are important, but the reason carbon racing parts...

Welcome. Are you our first GR owner from Luxembourg? What was the allocation for your country (must have been tiny!) or did you import it?

I just got the email. £99 is a bargain for a full track day. Just checking my availability on that date.

Quite a few owners of Z4s on this forum I thought? 🤪

It will probably be a hybrid, which will make it faster and more fuel efficient (great) but heavier and lacking a clutch and manual, so I’m out. If it’s just the same recipe but with bits nicked from the GRMN and Morizo editions, and the upgraded engine components and ECU from the GR Corolla...
