  1. 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. 


  2. 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.
