GR86 Red GR86 from Tenerife!

I'm not surprised re. the economy - the only cars I've owned which were more economical than the published figures were the light ones with larger naturally aspirated engines.

This, my current MX-5 is fantastic on fuel. The GR86 definitely won't be as economical but who cares about economy when petrol is super cheap?
Oh ... wait...!
 
The Auto GR86 uses less fuel than a manual & is over $1k cheaper here so two unexpected bonuses (y)

Not to mention the extra tech, looking forward to taking it for its 1st spin soon :giggle:

Met today with some mates from the Honda club and my good 86 friend Raul. We went to have lunch in the South. Met even more Honda fans from the club there after lunch. We also heard some ladies fighting so we ran off to the capital, there, we did some donuts in a parking lot then escaped because some people looked mad!

These are exactly the pictures, why I love plain red cars! Awesome. 😍

(Oh and because I'm a Honda fanboy. It's part of the worship to praise R77 FormulaRed nearly as much as NHO ChampionshipWhite) 😅🤣

I'm trying to imagine a better day than this, but I can't!

(Although I might have been tempted to stay for the 'ladies' fighting part...)

It was visceral though! Really scary, and I fear that was a ‘bad part of town’ scenario so we just skiddadle xddd

I know we shouldn't assume or stereotype, but were they British?

Some of my fellow countrymen/women behave appallingly abroad (and at home for that matter) when not able to pace themselves with alcohol

Great to see an update and pictures from you @Ruben , I hope you are enjoying your car.

Any further thoughts or views on the car now you've had it for a few weeks?

It’s the sickest car ever. I suck at driving but I feel like im getting better with it.
Tbh I was having a rough batch in life and the car has made me feel so much better. There really isnt much I can criticise about the car but if I had to I guess I find the fourth, fifth and sixth gears to be very slow and I also wish it burnt fuel slower. Other than that it is being the time of my life. I’ve done 3400 kms in like 3 weeks.

Good to hear that - I hope your car continues to bring you pleasure and that things improve for you overall.

Both of these issues will, I imagine, get better with more kms!
