Are there people on the waiting lists still?

And does the next car come with a 'baby on board'?

I have a joke for you. I have a prediction that you are going to walk into a bar, my prediction was wrong and your wallet is gone.

Q1 I wouldnt think so Wobbles. I see them sitting around dealerships. Maybe there is a wait for certain colours but I would think dealers are playing nicely again now and do swapsies

Q2 Fuck no. Been there done that.

Well the 86 left my driveway for the last time tonight.

Sad to see it go as it is a great car but as they say in the classics, suck it up bitch.

Next chapter soon.............

Bauer, I am guessing from this topic so far, in the time you had it you were still using the Stock tyres?

While they are nice Eco things, fun starts when you get some nice rubber.

Dex - absolutely. Its a ripper of a car. However, I have only known mine and I treated it well. What they are going to be like as a used car designed to be flogged, only time will tell.

Wobbles - not too sure what you mean by fun. As a road car it doesnt need more grip. As a sports car with tyres direct from the Prius spare parts bin, it probably doesnt need less.

And yes, I sold it as I bought it. No new tyres.
