Yaris GR!!

[Oneball]

Looks great stickered up but I like the relative anonymity of it , gar guys notice it , I had a BMW flashing his lights coming the other way a few days back , first thought , speed trap but no , thumbs up as we crossed, most people don't give it a second glance

I'm going to have to do something with that plate though , how hard is it to put it on straight.

Not a load of stickers, just one like the Lotus or Ferrari F1 stickers. Ogier/Ingrassia have made it manufacturers and driver/co-driver championships at Monza this weekend. Something like this


My M3 had a wonky plate. Found out when I came to straighten it that the dealers had drilled holes in the bumper about an inch out of line, wankers!

Can you imagine trying to explain how this happened without this video

Right , so you bought a bottle of T cut and rubbed it off

Saw that posted elsewhere yesterday.
Simply unbelievable how it flipped at such low speed and the Yaris hardly moved, it must of climbed up the rear wheel of the Yaris.

....or tripped on a roller skate.

The back bumper is made out of really flexible plastic , you can push it in with your knee and it just pops back , wouldn't surprise me if they just get an alignment check and a new bumper to repair the Yaris

That's the Yaris fault. Bloody flaired arches are dangerous.

Proves how dangerous SUVs are. Designed by the incompetent, driven by the incompetent.

Yet many will pick one to tow a caravan when the most suitable car is a saloon or estate , low and heavy
I was on the M6 southbound coming down a long hill round Preston , in front of me a discovery towing a big twin wheel caravan

It got a wobble on then it was gone , dragging this discovery across 3 lanes and back , up on two wheels at one point

Amazingly she got it back under control and made it to the hard shoulder , as I drove past I could see her shouting at the male passenger
I assume , that's it I'm never driving this ******* thing again

SUVs, they are a load of sh!te. Sure if you need to tow a horse box off road then Ok, they may be a good choice. However, if you do why would you need anything more than a Defender? Sports Utility Vehicle; the vast majority aren't in the least bit Sporty and you don't see too many Range Rover Vogues with a boot full of rubble at the local tip so they aren't very Utilitarian either. They are predominately bought by WAGs who want as much steel as possible around them because they are cr4p drivers, or old blokes with small c0cks who want to look rich and important. In these days of environmentalism how are these things so popular? Ah yes, it must be the SJWs, rich Wokes, YouTube 'influencers' and wannabees who dictate to the easily led morons that SUVs, Cross Overs and electric sleds are the way forward. A bunch of *****.

Owning this GR is an unusual financial experience, for me at least

I got it on 0% finance but so far its value hasn't dropped below list so I feel like I'm just transferring the monthly payments from my bank account to the Yaris bank account

I'm sure that has to change at some point though looking at autotrader if I advertised it at list price it'd be the cheapest one for sale by £3000

My Vogue regularly goes to the tip. Also goes to 5* hotels, done the NC500, family of 4 and dog on holiday, south of France, kids on school run. All in glorious comfort. Not much it can’t do.

Indeed, and hundreds of thousands of 'sheep' without an imagination will agree. If you dont really care about the thrill of driving then good for you. The vast majority of people buy a Vogue because it's comfy, makes you feel important and makes you look rich. Why else are WAGs so keen on them.

Currently there are well over 50+ owners trying to sell them on Auto trader alone.
That's a crazy amount for sale, what's wrong with them?!!

 

[Ewan]

Just people trying to bag the theoretical profit.

But with so many for sale, very theoretical, as this amount has been for sale for a quite a while.
Just needs a few to 'break' with lower prices and all profit gone for everyone.

 

[Ewan]

Correct. But the price correction should be minor, as they are still desirable and there is still a waiting list. However, anyone that jumped on board for financial gain, rather than because they wanted the car, should jump off a.s.a.p.

There's only 5 owners selling , the rest are trade

There are always speculators for rare cars , there's only 2200 registered in the UK so that does make it a rare car.

I just noticed your post Benny. IMO, if you don't like something you should not beat about the bush like this. Just come out and say it so we all know where you stand.

 

[BennyD]

Will do. I was trying to.pull my punches to spare the feelings of the sheep, but from now on I won't and I'll make sure you get all the credit.
