I'm Back

[stevenn133]

So i havent been on here in quite some time, probably since trax.

Been a bit hectic in my life since then.

I had a deposit down on a brand new Toyota GT86 and was going to pick up on the 1st December, then i decided to go to uni. Obviously these two werent going to go well together so the car was cancelled. Still wanted to change the twingo though, so I bought a Seat Ibiza Bocanegra.

Gotta say it was very impressive, very fast, but had no feel and being a DSG box was very boring to drive.

Decided it had to go. After much deliberation i settled on a new shape civic type r.

Picked it up today and absolutely love it. Just 25000 miles, satnav and everything.

Think I must have a thing for red cars lol

And in other news I've been offered a place at Greenwich University to do mechanical engineering, so its all looking up now

Tbh, running/owning a CTR and going to uni is going to be difficult also?

Welcome back an good choice on the civic! when do I get a ride

 

[Chicken]

Welcome back it's been to long since we last spoke. Gutted about the gt86 but the civic looks sweet. You owed me a ride in the toyboata though ill happily take compensation in the civic though
What are you studying at uni then?

 

[Charliegee100]

Looks good

the type r did the same mpg as the twingo on my way back from essex today so just a bit more insurance and tax, I own the car so no finance.
Doing mechanical engineering gonna be awesome.
I'll give you both a ride next time we have a meet

I am a bit gutted about the GT86, theres a couple round my area. Like a kick in the teeth every time i see one. But once I've finished uni and earning tonnes of cash i'll buy two

So you'll be modding the tyre r with your new found experience then lol. At least you can say you owned a gt86, got any pics of it? Also why are you going to buy two? Is one for me?

doubt i'll have money for modding lol. I never got the GT86 cancelled the order well before the delivery date.

Just figured i'd be earning so much money as an engineer that i could afford two lol. If i build something that makes me a millionaire then i'll buy you one

 

[Chicken]

If i build something that makes me a millionaire then i'll buy you one

Your such a sweetie
Try sticking around about bit more this time rather than going off the radar

My dad's not long traded in his Candy White Bocanegra a couple of months ago, which was brilliant! Apart from the fact that it was on it's second engine, ignition barrel, much worse MPG and overall performance than new and using 1 litre of oil every 400 miles...

 

[Daveyb133]

bet scarlett wasnt happy to be sold

civic looks good, mmmm vtec.

yeah mine had an engine at 8000 miles, gearbox felt sloppy after a few hundred miles too. MPG was ridiculous, when i went for it like i used to in the twingo, i averaged 15mpg!!

I do miss scarlett, but i could never have kept her, she was falling apart after just 2 years

I know how you feel. I work at Toyota R&D Europe.. I see these GT86's daily in all shapes and colors and it's so frustrating because I really like it but it's not affordable.. yet.
