Thanks. To be honest, not one that crossed my mind. The time / hassle spent on that hardly merits the premium and I also have a small issue re storage space. Pay for a garage or park in a London street collecting dents. No thanks.
After some deliberation, I've done the same! There's lots to like and back in the days when we had no kids it would have been perfect. Sadly two kids and a dog later, it's a bit tricky having another toy.
Red one coming up for someone soon.
The front passenger side wheel was still gnarled up when I drove it! Only 380 miles on the clock and it looked like 38000 on the outside. London driving for you......
Have been told by Toyota that all cars are allocated to the 400 or so orders and deliveries completed by September. They suggested it won't be possible for any changes now for customers to delay delivery etc. Not sure how true that is but they seemed confident this is it for this batch.
Agree with that. Cars I've had with 300bhp+ were too much for road use in pretty much 99.9% of circumstances. There are better cars out there for track work which are not compromised road cars. On the other hand 150-240bhp seems like the sweet spot to me as long as the car is around 1000-1250kg
Finally got round to driving one today. The blue one at Edgware Road with 375 miles on the clock and a rather bent looking left side rear exhaust....
Coming from 50 year old classic cars, this thing is very quiet! I remember driving the GT86 a while back thinking it was noisy and difficult to...
Haven't had the chance to drive the GR86 yet (though I got a message today saying the car I ordered after I opted to go to the back of the queue has arrived) but an early 911 does the long distance journeys fine and is a blast on B roads. I did at trip in mine last summer. 800 miles over three...
I did a few late changes too and got pushed to the back of the queue after the first batch was finally released last year. Was told it was September 2023 at least before the car would arrive. Was updated by email recently (unprompted) it would be June now so you're probably on to something here.
Spotted these too. I think Nick was in his car about to leave at the time but I was too coy to come say hi. I was in my other Japanese coupe which seemed to attract a lot of flies!
The Scramble was excellent. Lots to see everywhere! I even managed a quick chat with a certain Richard Porter. On...
Hi Andy. You're lurking on here too?!
1200 more sounds like a lot to shift in 12 months when the original run was only around 400-500 and are only slowly being delivered.
I had a GRY and drove it back to back with a GT86 at the time and much preferred the latter on track. The GRY was fun to a point and I get why they are popular but it wasn't really my cup of tea in the end.
You are welcome! F type and GR86 has modern classics all over it. That is a fab two car garage! Also, I think the F Type and the Z are quite similar many ways albeit created 40 years apart.
It's been a good first week with the 240Z. Thankfully it's been dry around London so have been able to...
Yes. This happened to me with the GRY. I still had the original order and the delivered car on the system until I deleted them recently. I also had two GR86 in my app as I think it you had the VIN (back when we did the hack you could access this) and entered into the app, it thinks you already...
The only thing I would change in this video is the Bradford weather! My yellow car appears in this video during the garage tour. Must have watched this about 50 times already
Nice work! I hope you are enjoying it lots.
In case you were not wondering, I turned up in a Renault Captur with a roofbox and the all important no cost option of two door dents. Great machinery there today - I even manage to catch Harry Metcalfe in his Lancia Fulvia Zagato. A beautiful thing.
