Test Drives Unlimited 278 Report post Posted November 21, 2020 This post is just a heads up for now boys and girls π My 2013/13 Toyota GT86 Auto will be coming up for Sale in the Near Year and replaced with a Brand New Car π Will offer the car as a Private Sale on here first, but failing all that then the car will be Part Exchanged instead! As I still have quite a few of the original parts, they will of course be put back on the car and therefore will have a few parts for Sale in due course π Some parts will be retained and put onto the New Car, but meanwhile here's a link to my Build Thread via the RX-8OC : https://www.rx8ownersclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=52793 Am willing to do a deal with a Member on here in swapping out my Custom Built Exhaust System for a Standard System from their car and a friend of mine would do this at his house or place of work π Will let you all know when the New Car is on order and the Private Plates are on their way off the car, so as the original number plates can be put back on the car π That's it for now.................................

nerdstrike 186 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 You must have liked the 86, you kept it for quite a while! May your next car be as good. 1 Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodename47 446 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 Good luck. As I'm finding now, the market is slow (not surprising given the economic climate TBH). 1 Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 Good luck Nigel, it has done you well. I've moved it to car for sales as it's a sales post. What are you going for next?Β 1 Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Test Drives Unlimited 278 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 Thanks Lauren, I wasn't sure where to put the post as it's not going anywhere in December so can have my last lot of fun on the track with this wonderful car Replacement car undecided at the moment, but it's unlikely to be Japanese Car this time Whatever car I buy, it has to replace the GT86 and C200k 1 Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 Oh Nigel, I am shocked it's not a Japanese car. Guess the GR Yaris wasn't an option as no auto? Or are you going big and comfy? 1 Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Test Drives Unlimited 278 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 It will more likely be big and comfy , but fitted with Sports Suspension so as can still do a few more Trackdays during the year With this lockdown, it's not easy to sort out Test Drives at the moment!! This was only sprung on me the other day, when I was told Dad's giving up driving 1 Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Test Drives Unlimited 278 Report post Posted December 9, 2020 Right Boys and Girls Just quick update for you, am currently waiting to test drive the New Car which gets released into the UK at the end of this month Once have driven it and if I still like it, then one will be ordered for delivery in March The GT86 and C200k are definitely going and already have a possible buyer for the Mercedes-Benz The GT86 will be returned back to stock and will put a list of items up shortly for you all to express an interest in before coming off the car, so as I know what to bin etc...... In the meantime if you have looked at the build list, then feel free to post up....... 1 sam534 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Test Drives Unlimited 278 Report post Posted December 20, 2020 Just a quick update due to logistics the New Car is delayed till May, so as can take the GT86 to the NΓΌrburgring on 6th April for one last time The Mercedes-Benz needs to be sold before the Car Insurance is due in May, as am now the Main Driver for this car! Dad can no longer drive it Therefore nothing will be coming off the GT86 until after the German Trip Still waiting for the New Car to be released in the UK Here's a link to what am waiting for : https://www.carscoops.com/2020/09/2021-kia-stinger-goes-v6-only-in-europe-brings-styling-and-tech-upgrades/ 1 SimonG68 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I quite like the Stinger, but reviews seem to suggest itΒ is more of a GT and that some of the interior lets it down. Hopefully the facelift some of those, it certainly looks good.
