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

[Michael Knight]

Accidently triggered the car alarm yesterday for first time in three years. Today took accidently off on 3rd gear (pulled out fine, which was a surprise). The question is that is it time to buy a Corolla?

We have a car alarm??

You forgot you already have a Corolla? That's much worse then you ever imagined

So, not really a what I did... though I have found way to attach the dashcam to my dimming rear mirror, so I ordered that....

I've had a couple of chats with people who were talking about paying overs on a special GR Yaris now, and in the range of £20k over... which sounds insane, but I think what both of them are talking about is that GRMN Yaris that sold last year. Talking ranges of £20k over on a car worth £60k-ish or so.

From what it sounds like, it might be in Northern Ireland.

To add: these people I talked to were months and months apart, one yesterday though.

Oh, and randomly I pulled into a car park looking for a Screwfix, but accidentally drove to a Wickes instead, decided to get a KFC instead... Black GR Yaris in the car park, turns out it was from the same dealer as mine was originally... had a little chat with the owner, who also owns a 911, seemed like a nice chap. Plate ending FMV, not anyone on here, Facebook GR group member though.

Had a blistering stint to work. Excellent drive in wet conditions with 3 degrees celsius.

24k service completed at RRG Macclesfield. 2 1/2 years of fuss-free happy motoring, and touch wood, many more.

Felt super smooth and rapid on the way home, love that post-service feel.

I'm at RRG Macclesfield for 2yr service tomorrow. Looking forward to it, not least the drive through the Peak District

Hmm where am I? Was it to the left or righf?

Had a puncture in one tyre yesterday with immediate pressure loss. As tyres are almost worn and I want to change anyways to 17inches, it was the "right" moment to order 9 *17 Protracks in Gold. They will be wrapped in Cross Climate 2s in 235/45/17.

I put these aluminium bits on just to brighten up the dash area (usb and fuel cap release)…I already had the 4wd surround and think it should have come as stock

Wash yer mats yer filthy animal ;D

Drove via Päijälä and Ouninpohja (both in great icy condition) and went to see this beauty. Nice visit - again..!

We got to see the production of rally2 car and one lucky was just getting theirs delivered..

Lets see if we come up with something fun for winter 2025..!

Good trip for year 2 service plus diff oil change. Fun drive both ways and car felt awesome on way back, in particular my sense was gear change much smoother.
Excellent experience as usual from Richard and team at RRG Macclesfield. Proper GR enthusiasts

The wings I parked next to today were almost as big as the one installed at Rotheli. A fun fact is that about 915 of our cars as standard have the same hp as the 747. I also hoovered the floor mats based on previous feedback.

Installed a small wing…

dismantle the sloppy data port and tighten up the pesky internment usb connector, like new again

Went to buy some razor blades. Washed the white wheels and bonnet that had evil salt stains from fridays adventures to the dangerous rally stages. Also removed all the frost blanket protection from the front fender as it appears to be soon summer weather and we get soon to kick livin s**t of these bad boys on local race tracks - cannot wait..!

I've been running Crossclimates for a couple of years now, only thing I'd say is that in standard 225/40 size, they are noticeably narrower than the PS4S. Not much in the way of rim protection because of this. I'd probably go 235 on my 18x8 wheels next time , although they've still got over 5mm tread left after over 10k miles so it won't be anytime soon

Same thoughts on CC2s, car suits them imo. Left mine on 18 months now also done 10k, they wear well especially in this never ending rain.... May treat it to PS4Ss again if they exist? otherwise PS5s sound like a good alternative.
