Hi Lankan, long time no update, how are you getting on with the car?

Love #138 to bits, but not had it out much due to the weather, and I don't want to push it on 10-year-old front tyres, so it is now SORN'ed until Spring 2021.

Also, a bit distracted with another purchase...

I’m pleased you’re enjoying the car, roll on 2021!

Oooooooo sounds interesting, are you going to tell us?

Yeah, a Toyota GR Yaris Circuit Pack, which should be a right hoot, and possibly the last of the proper rally homologation specials to be built before we will be forced to go all EV, which will no doubt bore some of us to death...

Indeed, folks are jumping on the bandwagon now that positive reviews have flooded in from all corners of the world! I had been following the GRY's development since December 2019, when the first prototypes broke cover, and since its launch in Jan 2020. Placed a pre-order as soon as order books opened at Toyota dealerships during the first week of March. The GRY is just was so right, and exactly the type of car I have been waiting for...don't think we will see another rally homologation special, engineered to that level, ever again.

And, that was before I purchased #138...
