Great! It's like we could start an auto club within the drivers club. 😁🤣

Auto 86 too....I'm loving it! 😁
Don't feel lonely Jay.....plenty of us on here paddling through the gears! 

Mee too with Auto 86, love it...

I've got a BRZ auto ... fun with those paddles!

I’m also running an Auto 86 

It could do with a 7th longer gear.....keeping the 6 it already has. Cruising at 90-100mph  (140-160kph) puts the engine right where I don't want it (MT).
It has GT in the name, which stands for 'Grand Tourer' in most peoples' dictionaries.....it should be capable of doing some 'grand touring'.
 
Clearly the designers had 70mph cruising as their priority when selecting the top ratio - some of us like to cruise a bit faster. Often 70mph feels like I could get out and walk faster.
 
Perhaps I crave an Aston Martin?

Learnt a hard lesson last Saturday night that you should just drink and leave the car at home rather than not drinking and driving!
Someone had cut across my car leaving some lovely scrapes on my front bumper and even better damaging and cracking my Seibon carbon front splitter!
The bumper i'm not so concerned about as its relatively 'cheap' to sort out but the splitter is another story!
Does anyone know of a company in the North East that repairs carbon?

I often find myself looking for a 7th gear, particularly on the motorway, in Germany, at about 90mph

The sound is quite unique. It's a combination of the high revving four cilinder boxer engine and the exhaust system.
Regarding the sixth gear, I think it's mainly there to reduce fuel consumption at constant speed, as well as getting a better environmental rating.

Great colour, dude!

If you have the same tyres after five years, you're not trying hard enough!

Michelin Pilot Sport 4.

Pilot sport 4 are probably the best rated toad tyre

Do you have the Primacy tyres? They will break traction in the wet at a moment's notice.

Good article here from Speedhunters on car culture in the Netherlands. Props to you for buying one!
"The Toyota GT86 sold for €57,000 (US$63,000), but in 2018 only three examples were sold in the Netherlands, so Toyota Nederlands decided to stop selling this model. In conclusion, you really have to be a die-hard car enthusiast to buy a new sports car from a dealer here!"

Welkom en veel plezier met je auto!

The weight of the batteries is one aspect. Another aspect is the continuous variable transmission (CVT), which isn't great for circuit use. Also, when used intensively, the batteries easily run out of power. The concept works best for front wheel driven cars, as most braking power is on those wheels. All wheel drive would be an alternative, but less fun.
My last car was a Prius 3, which I drove for about 100,000 miles. The concept is great for all day use, but don't expect the direct response required for fast lap times, drifting and other fun. The car was extremely reliable and pretty quick from 0 to 50 mph.

1) The Saab wasn't speeding, I sped up the video by a factor 8. 😉 
2) We drive on the right side of the road. 😂
3) There are just a few spots wide enough to let a car get by. 😉

Apart from being a car enthousiast, I'm a hobby bass player. For my own fun I started a YouTube cover channel. For those who are interested and not afraid of a load of Punk Rock and some Heavy Metal, here's a link to the channel: ThunderBassist.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Do you use the snorkel kit for below sea level driving?
