GR Yaris What did you do to your GR Yaris today?

[Bat out of Hell]

We were cleaning buddies haha. Mine is actually white again now, which is nice. Need to have another once over though, because I ran out of tar remover and there is still a reasonable amount of goop on the side skirt

A clean white looks sooooooo right in the sunlight

No, UK law states that any VAT registered garage using the correct parts can service your car and not impact warranty. As my car has a 3 year warranty I can get 6 services in before going to Toyota to extend the warranty and then every other one can be with Toyota as they extend it a year per service.

aww that's good!

I sold it. A great car, but I'm so fed up with the EU, and especially with Germany, that I'm currently selling everything and emigrating as soon as possible. I wish you all the best; we've had a really nice few years here, and there's a great community.

Best of luck in your future endeavors, if you don't mind me asking, where you moving to ?

Sounds like what I did with the US - packed up and moved to Thailand.

• Strict immigration policies. No endless stream of asylum seekers milking the system.
• None of the woke pronoun crap or forced political correctness.
• Amazing food, low cost of living, and year-round warm weather.
• And best of all - no ridiculous emissions laws. You can drive whatever the hell you want, mod it however you like, and no one bats an eye.

No mass homelessness taking over cities. No $100 parking tickets or getting fined for nonsense. No culture of entitlement or cancel mobs breathing down your neck.

Honestly, it feels like actual freedom - something the West pretends to value but lost a long time ago.

Just one rule here: don’t badmouth the monarchy

Cleaned it yesterday, bird shat all over the windscreen today. So another wash today
1 hour later update: massive rainstorm arrived, even though it was supposed to be completely sunny day... getting pretty schizophrenic.

Got to agree,

As you say great forum and community, the hole of Europe is in the same boat it seems, UK is currently a joke we are being taxed to death.

It shows how bad things get when you have to do this, hope things work out, hope you stay on or connected the forum

Regards Russ....

It’s booked for a good deep clean next week. Although cutting it fine with garage time.

Let the missus drive the GR for first time. She did not like the driving position, but said the engine felt strong.

You’ve kept it from her all this time?!

Or she wasn’t really interested?

she has not been that interested, and have shared GR test rides usually only those who are passionate for driving.
Just realized how niche stuff my own car preference is compared to common market - No wonder there is less and less performance cars available.

My insurance won't even let my missus on the policy

... Just realized how niche stuff my own car preference is compared to common market...

Very, very true about me too, as I sometimes get reminded.

Also, engaging in forums like this feeds our niche tendencies, taking us more and more into our own little bubble and away from anything "common".

Both good & bad, but requires awareness & management.

Changed a faulty coil at around 50,600 km

Got a cyl 1 misfire the other day and immediately suspected it. Changed this morning and all good. Suspect it has been on the way out for a while.

Seems to be a common issue as I had it with mine and seen many say the same. I wonder if they’ve changed the coil packs in the gen2.
