I do really like the orange. White would have been my first choice with orange second.

Interesting to hear about the BMW. Yes, the EVO was raw but honestly, the power was in such a short band. On the road, I just don't think I could live with it. Also, I thought grey ones were rare. There's three of us replied here! Ha.

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to drive a 560bhp EVO 6 TM so would have been rude to refuse. The thing was just bonkers. Not a lot until about 4750 rpm then it just went nuts. Straight line power, whilst addictive, isn't everything. I wasn't disappointed driving my '86 home, however I WOULD like a little more in a straight line, but definitely not at the expense of drivability. I would love to have a drive of a forced induction '86 to sample the power delivery for myself.

Ooooh lovely. I wish I’d bought orange!

Hello. been looking for some wheels for a few days now and these do look really nice. reading your post, does that mean you want £700 plus a set of OEM wheels? Gareth

I've only just got my '86 and might swing by TD on the way to pick the girlfriend up from Warrington and have a peep if you don't mind. I'm only over in Wigan.

Haha maybe I should have posted here before buying the Aygo! Ha. Oh well. Will make me appreciate driving the 86 more I guess. 😃

Mikes a good guy, as is Nick. They’ll look after you there. Oh it will definitely get driven, but happy to put the hard miles on the Aygo. I hate these people who have classic cars and hide them away and not drive them (not that this is one of those). Plus it will save me some petrol money! 😂

Thanks. If you saw some of the properties At times, you wouldn’t. 😂 The miles would rack up far too quickly. I am very tempted with the turbo kit but it will be in twelve months as my insurer isn’t modification friendly but I did get a very reasonable quote from a specialist so perhaps in 12 months. It’s not as slow as I expected from the reviews to be honest and not miles behind the Clio. The Clio did handle VERY well though so learning RWD will take some.

Hello fellow 86’ers. Just picked up my 2013 grey GT86 with lovely embossed and embroidered leather. I’ve liked these for a while and love what the car is about, a homage to the AE86. I’ve come straight from a Clio 200 to this but in a distant past owned 4 x Celica GT4’s and an MR2 Turbo. Mike from TD is a friend of mine from my GT4OC days and he took me out in their GT this week and I was hooked. After living with the car for 48 hours, I realised it was to use to drive a 20 mile each way commute every day plus using it for visiting customers in the day job so I’ve just been and bought a little Aygo as the daily so the 86 can be kept lovely. Its nice to be back into a sports Toyota again and I hope to be active on a nice owners club again.
