Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 Well it's soon going to be time for me to hand the car back in to Toyota, I had originally planned to keep it three years but after two Toyota have offered me more money than cars for sale privately and mine has more miles etc on it!!! Sad to be leaving as its an amazing little car, have loved every minute of owning it, doing my first trackday and competing in the TSS of which I finished 3rd in class last year which I was proud of considering my lack of experience Unfortunately I can't say I'm moving on to bigger and better things as it will be being replaced by a 5door Aygo X-Cite to allow me to build up some savings before buying something truly stupid, or another 86 in a years time... Going to stay as a lurker on the forum to keep an eye on things coming up for sale, TSS info (the Aygo may make an appearance this year for a giggle) and random social meets if I'm allowed to attend this forum and group of people really are exceptional I think, never met a friendlier (and boozier) lot in my whole 7 years of driving Anyway, I'll leave this with a few of my favourite pics from the last two years...

nikndel 509 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 I will always remember seeing Jamie at Chris Mawbys house stumbling through a stack of empty Kronenberg cans the morning of the Sports Day🍺 3 rob275, Jamie_GRMN and Mike reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 No way, though I did wonder what you were up to. I think the Aygo will be a bitter pill to swallow. Good luck with that. Hope we see you at some point! 1 Jamie_GRMN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope we see you at some point! I'm sure it will be a bitter pill to swallow Lauren, decision was made based on financial reasons only really and I'm only driving to and from work in the 86 so it doesn't make sense to keep it...

Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted March 24, 2016 It's only a car - not worth screwing up your finances over. I love mine, but if circs changed it'd go. You'll be back... I had several years of self imposed boring cars due to financial and family reasons (not unrelated...) but got my toy back now. And I rather like the Aygo. Tiny underpowered cars are quite fun. The trick is weld your throttle foot to the floor at all times, and try not to slow down for bends... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
