Just introducing myself, and my new car! Picked up at the end of Jan, not that many miles done yet but hoping for some nice trips in the near future. Couple of pics of the car after it's recent
ceramic coating.

Back from our first longer trip visiting friends in Oxfordshire (from West Yorkshire), Mrs Elmo in the passenger seat and a boot full of luggage. Blasted through the 1000 mile barrier 🙂. It was absolutely great on this journey, surprisingly comfortable, even relaxing to drive on the motorway. The long term fuel usage is showing as 36.9 mpg which is a lot better than I was expecting and I reckon it must be about right. The trip there and back is 334 miles, I filled up with momentum before we went and as this picture shows, 2 bars remain on the fuel guage. I am very, very happy with it. (The remaining range is, however, woefully inaccurate!)

I nearly went for the Magnetite grey. Pictures like this make me question that decision 🤣, it looks stunning after that detailing!

Agreed, they've done some job there with that detailing. Looks like it's been chiselled from granite! Good effort with the parsimonious fuel usage too, certainly takes the edge off these upwardly mobile petrol prices.

Please add me to the list collected my black GR86 manual this morning from Toyota Reading . Great service from dealer , my car only had 8 miles on collection so every thing feels tight. All tucked up in the garage now .
Came with half tank of petrol , first aid warning kit , GR86 art work & a couple Toyota key rings. I asked the dealer if he could tune the radio into Radio 2 , we both could not figure it out got all the local radio stations though !

You're on the wrong thread :)
