    Really regretting buying 18" car feels better on 17"s for me. 

    Going to be listing my rays grams lights 57 extreme for sale soon 

    The trouble is they are not actually that light. Could have told you that light weight 17's will feel better. ;) Might be worth considering more stock tyre sizes as 245s and added wheel width will add a lot of unsprung weight.

    Hi Lauren

    I know I have sat in the car previously with no ignition on and there has been no lights flashing. Which begs the question - is it possible to dis-arm the immobiliser so that the flashing would stop? If so then that is obviously the mode the car has been in up to now. 

    It's supposed to do it, so that thieves can see it's got an immobiliser. Mines always done it. It will do it after a time out after the ignition is turned off. I am pretty sure you would invalidate your insurance if you disarmed the immoboliser, it is there there to prevent your car being stolen. Not sure why you would worry about a flashing light. There is another  by the boot release for the alarm. 

    It shouldn't bleep at you, unless you have a door open. Maybe look up the alarm codes for the keypad?

    Welcome aboard, Ben. This years events look like it may well be decimated. We shall see of course. We've got a Yorkshire meet coming up Sunday meet, but not sure it will go ahead given what is going on. Keep an eye on the social meets. :)

    Exclusivity. If you specifically want a BRZ and new prices increase, makes sense that 2nd hand prices will get a bump.

     

    You can put it up for a higher price but I'll bet that won't transfer to higher second hand values, when people know the cars were the same price as the GT up until this point if that article is correct.

    Great stuff, Mike. Will do my absolute best to be there. Really enjoyed it last time. :)

    Really liked the last venue, an hour away was fine for me. 

    Only thing I would say, is a less child friendly pub may be a better option. But Bradford location wise was good for distance.

    I'm trying to work out whether I'd rather tick the box of a V8 whilst they're still vaguely acceptable, but I suspect we won't ever see anything like this Yaris again (or at least, not with a petrol engine). It's a tough one.

    Indeed, exactly this. Trouble is for me, the running costs of a V8 would be high, given I like to spend a lot of time in my cars. A V8 could only be an occasional use car for me. Can run the Yaris like I have the GT86 given it's a similar price and ought to have similar running costs.

    Yeah, it is an interesting thing where people move onto. For me whilst I am excited about what the new GT86 may bring, I've had my car for seven years, been to the moon and halfway back and done everything I can with the car. I've not made any changes to it in two and a half years now. I think I'm ready to try something different. First turbo, first 4WD, but the absolute appeal is being able to own a proper homologation special and that is ticking a big box for me. So much so, that I just couldn't resist! 

    Cars like these will not exist in the not to distant future and it' got a manual gearbox. Got to make the most of it while you can I think. Also ticking another box is ordering a car that hasn't even made production yet, super excited to follow the build up which is going to be a long one. Can't wait to see how it all unfolds. :)

    I made an initial deposit yesterday of £500 in an effort to get an early build slot when things start happenning. :)

    Went for Pure White with  Circuit Pack. No other other options at present. That may change, we shall see. There will be a UK unveil at Goodwood FOS in July, with dealer demos in October. Delivery is January 2021, but it could move forward to November. Really excited! :)

    Got a brochure as well! 🤣

    I enjoyed the HUD on the supra, I hope to see more performance cars with this option

    I couldn't see the HUD when I drove the Supra. 🤣

    But, on the Yaris dash you can flip it through the menus to have a digital speed on the central display I think. I admit, I've got used to digital speedos now. It would have been nice if the whole dash was a configurable screen as pretty much all upmarket cars have these days. Guess that's the downside of it being based on a lower model.

    Congratulations. What colour?

    Thank you. Exciting day today. :)Going to go for the 'pure white' rather than pearlescent. I know pearlescent will match my car, but pure white or 'championship white' is more in keeping with the rally ethos. it's also the no cost colour option. 😆

    I will still be around, don't worry. :)
