GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

I actually spent the small profit made on Christmas presents for kids at a local charity.
So everyone who bought one has contributed in some way to giving a kid a better Christmas. 🥰

See this is why I like this place. You'd never get this on an Audi owners' forum*.


*Disclaimer - I am joking. There are some lovely Audi owners and I've met both of them.

...yeah but only so you can entice them to come and work at your boot closing strap sweatshop. I'm on to you!






Jokes of course. That's a great gesture. I would have kept all the profit to pay for my insurance or something :D

Wow - someone had more than a satsuma and a bag of nuts for Christmas!

May I respectfully request a thread on this, I've never seen/heard of it and would very much like to know more!

Small write up here for anyone interested:

GR86 - Electric Blue #2

It's an easy colour to spot in the car park..... It's a great colour, still no regrets over it.

It's not but might be this year. Doesn't seem to stop anyone else riding one!

It‘s madness that a great solution for urban mobility isn’t legalised, but is instead left illegal for those who want to respect the law, but effectively unpoliced for those who don’t. Sod’s Law is if I rode something like it, I’d be stopped and awarded six points for my troubles, which I don’t fancy.

Annoying, as this kind of thing would be perfect for the three mile trip to the railway station.
 
New RNS tyre 😦

Several weeks of grime removed and my car is finally clean and dry enough to fit the Classic Additions cover I bought ages ago. Pretty straightforward to do although I'll do the Sonic pocket mod to make it quicker next time.
 
Fitted the spare space saver today, as it's sat in the box since the festive break order. Spot on and just a little more confidence due to where we live and impending road trips! 😁👍
 
Fitted the AliExpress LED light strip in the boot. By jingo that W5W adapter is a fiddly bugger to get working ... off/on/off/on, twist/pull/fiddle/swear/on/off/on .. that's it tape it up! I'm not sure that it won't go off again when the car goes over a bump but, we'll see. I've got the bulb ready to go back in..
Update: Tested in the dark. Yeah, that’s bright!

I’m still scarred from one of those heavy duty box staples.

Do you find the wheel in the boot makes a bit of noise over bumps ? Was thinking of having it out and applying some sound insulation to the bare metal underneath.

I have not driven it as yet and yes, the box took some opening! 😁
