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...

Nice to see you have gone and got one Mr GRavy_Baby after you told me about them last month at SCITP. They are a decent price. Have you a garage in mind that is fitting it or are you doing it yourself? I wonder if Toyota dealer would fit it - albeit warranty for that would be void but they are a...

A hybrid makes sense but I think Toyota are now going full electric in a big way after latest statements. I don't expect a new GRY but can't explain why. But I do expect a new GR something as an EV - possibly the GR Celica with all wheel EV drive. GR2 as the new MR2 as a thought - possibly. They...

I am looking forward to seeing the new EV sports cars that will come. The new MG whatever it's called looks really nice but I would prefer it to have a different badge on it. They will come and fairly soon I recon. The GR86 is limited. The new Celica is coming according the boss of Toyota. It...

ICE cars are going to be around for many decades yet. It is only cars The official comment is: "The 2030 ban is only the sale of new petrol or diesel cars that can't travel a "significant distance" in zero-emissions mode. Cars already bought before the ban will not be impacted". Those millions...

I hope it was an electric door. We don't want you over doing things.

Yesterday I took the car into the Yorkshire dales. Started at Settle - up to Hawes, over Buttertubs pass down into Thwaite then onto Kilnsey and back home. 150 glorious miles mostly B very empty roads in the dales. Problem is that there were long stretches especially around Thwaite region where...

I did that last year and you will notice a difference. Mine is just a road car so thought the PS4 / PS5 are just fine for me. I bought a Bola wheel and put the Dunlop on it as a full size spare so saved some cash there.

You were lucky that big bug didn't hit the grill as it would have destroyed it completely.

At the last SCITP in May I played that game of look at the cars I could get instead of my lovely red GRY. I looked at new Porsches and even the Lotus Emira. When finished walking around checking out many cars I walked back to mine and smiled when I got back to it as I realised it ticked many...

Some people have extra money to throw at toys and discard them when bored. It isn't anything new. The people who spend their hard earned on something they really want and don't have the money to throw about will probably hang on longer and cherish them.

Apparently, the new Prius will not be coming to UK. Had a go in a friends Yaris Cross the other day and what a lovely SUV. Good size and on a run she got 72 mpg and pushes 60 mpg just normal trips so not too bad.

How many glasses of golden nectar had you downed before you typed that. Can you please translate that to Yorkshire for us up north.

Crikey, I thought I had got away with that. I must peddle faster in town centers.

The prices for our type of car do generally drop a little after the hype has died and then stabalise then start to go up. I think that is quite normal and choosing the right time for buyers of used cars is important. I am not a mechanic so would be nervous about buying a high mileage gry as...

These cars are made to be driven so people will look at the mileage and wonder how hard a life they have had so most will want a low mileage car although that isn't a guarantee. There are lots of modifications to be bought now so a standard car (not modified) might be most peoples choice so they...

This video shows you how to switch it off. Ghost is supposed to be very good but I would still have a Disklock as a visual deterrant. Keyless was switched off within an hour of getting mine. When I had new tires the chap came back and asked me to start it as he couldn't and he had the keys in...

Just watched FastR video saying the GRY is the best affordable sports car in the last 20 years leaving those big expensive cars in its dust on a B road. The GR86 will also be talked about in similar ways and I wish I could have one at the side of my GRY. Everyone sings its praises as a pure...

I am 61 and hope I can finish my driving days with a good petrol car which I should be able to do. A hybrid or a small EV for daily use is my future thought in 7 years buy my GR or other special car still there for fun. The problem could be that the governments will try and tax everybody into...

Just seen the unveiling of this new sportster with people already putting down orders for 2024. OK, MG may not be everyones choice but it is going to be £50k 2 wheel and £60k four. Sub 3 sec to 60, 500ish hp and looks fantastic. Few moving parts to go wrong and british designed. If it had a...
