    Don't sweat it Tom! The '86 is a very practical and sensible sports car.

    To be honest the Corolla purchase in 2005 was never intended to be a long term affair.  It just never broke down, ever! So I became attached. Ironically it was still running fine, but someone in a 19 plate Golf R drove into it outside a supermarket whilst I was shopping and it became an instant write off.  I felt I needed to stay with Toyota and here I am (albeit Toyota with a Subaru engine).
    Thanks, it's really so nice and tactile to drive.  I have zero regrets.
    That's what I keep telling everyone, I'm just full-on embracing it! 😂

    Any age is a good age for an '86.  Welcome to the club!

    You're the same age as me.

    I'm 40, Have owned 4 cars total since 1997 when I passed my test.  My last one, a 53 plate 1.4ltr Corolla lasted me over 15 years since I purchased it in October 2005.  Always loved the look of the GT86 but never owned a car more powerful than a ride on lawnmower.  Picked my 66 plate up on Sunday and I've been grinning ever since!  Better late than never.
