Washed mine!

A290GTS would be awesome but yeah range is crap for what I need. Tesla seems to be the one which actually works with the infrastructure.

Yeah see this is the heart part of the dilemma! Tesla would be a lease - 12 months down and £408 a month over 36 months. Works out about £549/month. However taking fuel savings, car tax, and servicing works out about £350/month which I honestly don’t think is too bad. But then I won’t get...

This is sorta my dilemma and my GR was a weekend car but honestly, its just not getting used like I thought it would. Its pretty much paid off so monthlies are negligible but there's so much equity in it plus we would quite like a new bathroom 🤦‍♂️. I have a Defender 90 I use more than theGR as...

Honestly it’s a head/heart thing, but I seem to be finding reasons not to take the GR and take the wife’s Countryman JCW. The deals on the 3 seem really good I drove one yesterday it’s silly fast and comfy and practical and looking very cheap to run. But in the same breath I do love the 86 and...

Has anyone sold recently, I think I’m about to leave the fun side and head to the dark side of EV in the form of a Model 3.

I’m just finding I’m using the 86 less and less, I always said I would use it as much as possible cause I dont see the point of having a car in the garage doing nothing. But I keep finding a reason not to take it 🤷‍♂️

I am now having a wobble after seeing an Alpine A290 on the road, I also keep getting told I need a more practical car (Defender 90 and GR) plus wouldn't mind releasing some money from the GR. I just don't know how much regret I will have if I go and do something impulsive.

Just ran mine through Motorway with just under 8k miles, coming back at £30,025. Pretty happy with that even if they did deduct a little off. It’s staying for now though, will revisit end of summer and see how I feel if I get some more use out of it this year.

Looked at it unmoved in the garage since before Christmas

Tbh this is one of the reasons I don’t use phone only insurance companies. Takes to long and usually they aren’t that cheap. It’s a shame because I’ve used brokers through my previous job for big clients and they are great but for personal insurance it doesn’t make sense for me.

Had a wobble yesterday when the Yaris was announced also, however, herself said she didn't like it and looked too rally car (I mean, at least it looks like it was designed) so I was to keep the 86.

Drove 130 miles round trip to have a service in the last two days, back parked in the garage 🤣 I always said it would be a garage queen, but the weather has been so miserable up here I just take the defender most days at the moment.

Picked mine up last night, no further issues apart from Radio taking a hissy and giving me no sound but went back they checked for codes and blown fuses, typically all worked when the tech jumped in and its been fine since. Can't really fault Parks Toyota Inverness, kept informed and dealt...

Service booked in for 10am this morning. Drove 65 miles, left car and no issues mentioned. 2 hours later go back to collect. “Wrong” filter arrived but they only noticed after completeing rest of service. New filter arriving tomorrow morning so I’m now home with no GR86 and a loan AygoX. To be...

Does anyone know what dealers are offering on cars/what they are selling for, instead of marketed at?

Don't absolutely nothing with mine, its been in the parked up in the garage don't think i've driven it in nearly a month :( Got first service on the 18th so that will give it a run and fingers crossed no filter issue.

Managed to book mine in with Parks Inverness for the 18th December this morning. I also have that "Outstanding" recall but dealer principle emailed me a copy of the work done at PDI and the recall was carried out. I would like to know how to get it unlinked from my numberplate though, also...

Me too! Im going to query this and the new one at its first service on the 18th December. Also need to get the windows and unlock coding changed

Axa so far is best for me, premiums have gone a bit crazy this year. Im also trying to insure a Defender 90 which is even more of a pain
