Admiral renewal for me was £303, after £304 last year. I've just had a small claim from 5 years ago roll off the books now though, so I'm old, and clean! £229 with Saga (also insured a 10 yr old Rio for £105) - I just have to tolerate all the advertising for cruises and incontinence pants. God...

Bavaria and the Grossglockner (Austria) Drove down to Rothenberg in northern Bavaria from home counties in a day, proving the mile munching capabiities! Then next day planned (loose term, actually headed cross country, picking a new target town every hour or so on google maps) a trip from...

I'm guessing they realised they could get some money back on servicing after having very "honourably" stuck to low launch price amid post-covid supply chain disruption and the clamour for the 450 cars. They could have whacked 5k on the sticker price, but didn't. "Certainly sir, those new...

Not me - magnetite grey

I had the boot thing for the first few months and then it stopped or I stopped noticing it. In the last 2-3 weeks it has developed the driver's window click.

This! Some nice things are for owning and some nice things are for using! Falls into the same category "as life is too short to drink cheap wine". I use mine daily when I can, and enjoy it. Same for nice crystal glasses and fancy china cups. My linked problem is that lifestyle...

You could replace "GR86" with "first child" and all these stories still work...

I have a full set in a trolley bag, [semi]-permanently attached by bungee to an old style 3 wheel folding trolley................guess what..............no, really...........yep

The 86 is used daily, but it's a weekender/mid_life_crisis car. My previous one was an Alfa Giulia Veloce - brilliant chassis and steering; gearbox and big paddles excellent going up the ratios, software not quick enough for any form of block/quick shift down (auto slow too). Engine brilliant...

I leave mine almost permanently with the rear seat down and I can fit my golf clubs, still attached to their old style 3 wheel trolley, through the boot opening and in the back, with zero deconstruction. I'm lazy af, and this saves me 3-6 minutes every time. Obviously this is countered by then...

You've not used the app have you, and the geo-location facility? I believe they got the "How to launch a cracking new car to 450 lucky sods" team to program the geo-location facility, and I believe you need to log in to the app when you want the location updated, and then you need to manually...

I saw white GR15 Z00 in the flesh at the weekend in Berks - not sure what level of privacy you guys stick to so won't post more details/pics. To the owner, congratulations on 2 things: 1. It looks stunning in white and clean 2. Your algorhythm for finding the safest/remotest space in a car park...

I have added the 86 as a 3rd car, with 17 & 19 yrs NCD on 2 other cars (1 cheap, 1 decent), but 1 claim 3 yrs ago, on 2 different policies. I added the 86 as a new 'multi' car to 1 of the 2 policies, with Admiral. I think my price was £350 ish, with which I was happy. If I hadn't been happy, I'd...

Not me, unless it was done pre-delivery on 11/01 and I wasn't advised. I haven't received a letter yet either.

Just taken delivery this morning. Been on the drive 2 hours and I have had my first walk-by conversation with a bloke who lives about half a mile away and has a GT86, but missed the window on these.

You have some stunning photos there, particularly the 3/4 shots (either front or rear) - in my view the 3/4 shots are the strongest of the car, design-wise. Front and rear are ok. Side shots, the profile of the car is poor. I'm picking my grey 6MT up tomorrow morning, very excited - can I just...

Yes many companies had got to that stage before brexit - your cover carried on in normal in Europe for up to 90 days and you didn't even need the green card. Now, post brexit, many of the standard policies will continue to give you minimum legal TPFT cover, but check your small print if you want...

I ended up going with Admiral, as a multi-car addition to one I already have. It's about £330-340 for the year with Gold cover, which includes numerous trips to Europe with the fully comp level, rather than having to add it for each trip at cost (insurance+admin) as I have experienced with our...

I had 40 mins unaccompanied. Left it still reading 28.3 mpg, presumably across a lively mix of driving styles, so that should calm a few nerves. I was also good, and kept it below 4000 rpm. No real noise intrusion below these revs, you can just start to hear it build at about 4000 though...

I'm testing that car today, received my own personalised video tour of the car yesterday afternoon from the salesman.
