Nelix 19 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 Hi to all, got my GT86 Aero a few months ago. Traded in a Mrk3 MR2 for it after owning it for 10 years, my second. Previously also owned a Mrk1. Loved the roadster but it was getting old and on a bit in mileage, when I decided to change I very quickly narrowed it down to just the GT86. Have a 41 mile commute to and from work which is 95% motorway, so not really had a chance to play with the car yet, though have a night away in Inverness to look forward to in a few weeks. Love the car so far, even my commute is fun. Will always be a biker at heart though, ridden bikes for over 36 years now. Car on the day I picked it up. Outside my work.

Nelix 19 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks, certainly are. Only good thing about continental shifts is the days off midweek when roads are quiet. 1 CHOSENMAN007 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nelix 19 Report post Posted April 17, 2017 Thanks for the welcome. Will keep an eye out for meets as would be good to have a chat. My Mk1 MR2 was white but nothing else has been until the VFR and 86. TBH, never thought I would buy a white bike, but having the luxury of buying new and having seen all 3 colours in the flesh, the white imho was by far the nicest. The 86 being used was bought on mileage/condition/spec etc. Really wanted an Aero (though I do wish the spolier was a tad more reticent), but would have considered non aeros also. First car I looked at was black, which I expected to like but left me cold. To be fair I don't think it was well presented and I have seen some fantastic pics of black 86's. I did mod the MR2 roadster quite a bit, but cosmetics apart from lowering springs, simply because having access to a bike I'm not really bothered about a cars outright performance, more how it handles.
