GR86 First Sights

[drz252]

Close your eyes,
Give me your hand, darling.
Do you feel my waku-doki?



That's right. The Bangles were playing on the radio in the showroom.

My car has arrived.

This thread is for everyone to share their first sights of their new GR86s.

You'll know when it has arrived, as you will get an email like this:

Mine arrived early today. And don't worry, @AndyRC , my conversation with my wonderful sales chap went thusly:

Sales chap:​

Your car was the second delivery.​

Me:​

Oh really? Great - did you get another as well?​

Him:​

No. The second in the UK.​

Ever a bridesmaid...

Anyway, she will sleep in the compound tonight, before heading into the workshop tomorrow morning for her PDI.

Here are some pictures for you, and please share yours when the time comes! "It's not about being first or second, we're all winners here!", or whatever a football manager would say when the team loses a cup final.

Please to enjoy!

Ooh I missed this last night. Very exciting. @drz252 , do you know when you will be able to collect?

Would a picture of an email telling me the car has arrived suffice for now?

Aye, 'tis!

Monday or Tuesday. Whenever Chuck Norris has finished scrolling through TikToks.

Ah I used to to enjoy those Chuck Norris Facts back in the day.

In honour of these, perhaps it's worth recognising that TikTok uploads content to Chuck Norris, and that Chuck Norris ordered 200 GR86s and they were delivered to him in 2019.

Chuck Norris's UK model GR86 comes as standard with a ducktail spoiler.







And suit hooks.

She's dirrrty!

 

[ZN8]

She is dirty, but she is real!

 

[beorg]

She's dirrrty!

I still would... happily drive her home.

A couple of GR86s have arrived at the Edinburgh compound.

Anybody expecting one in Sapphire Blue?

As for the neighbouring car in Magnetite Grey... also looks like a barry wee motor.

Who can tell what Monday will bring?

Intriguing.

A couple of clues dotted around the forum mean I could hazard a guess...

 

[Gibbo78]

Look at that, a wee Scottish meet without any organisation!

The Sapphire Blue is mine .
Bit of a mileage discrepancy being at 32 miles but sorting that out.
It’s possible my car has been moved about being a likely cancelled order one or more times. Toyota advised not to take delivery until they get back to me after investigating so will await their instruction.
