UK debut of the Toyota GR86


and many more (click me)

 

This is one nice looking estate (shooting brake/wagon):



It may not have the most practical of boots though which does fly in the face of an estate car.

 

A blast from the past would be worth the ticket price for me.

 

It's quite nice. I still think my XF Sportbrake is one of the nicest looking estates out there, though. And the boot is massive - I got it so I could easily take golf clubs on holiday.

 

Anyone bidding at Bonhams?

(I'm hoping to watch something else in the Auction go for a good price....)

 

Very smart looking car. I’ve never owned a jag, but that could tempt me away from an Audi next time I buy an estate

 

It's not going to be as well built or reliable as an Audi. But Audis just don't excite me the way the Jag does. Plus everyone has a grey Audi these days it seems.

I have the base model petrol engine (the 25t) and it still does 0-60 in 6 point something secs.

 

This is my estate:



276bhp, 350Nm and 5.8s to 100km/h.

 

Good specs. Not tempted, though. I showed it to my 12 yo daughter (who likes cars) and asked her what she thought. "Is it a Skoda?" came the reply

 

Ha, ha.

The specs in Europe are acually slightly better as we lose some bhp and Nm for the Australian heat.

 

A Gulf Monaco... that never happened.

 

I had to look twice, at first I thought it might have been a Seat, same family.

 

We don't get Seats down under. My last car before I emigrated was a Seat Ibiza Sport Tdi 130. I loved that car.

 

Is that a superb?

 

Maserati’s new mid-engined MC20 will make its UK debut in the Supercar Run at the FOS.

I was fortunate enough to be in the pits during one of the FIA GT1 world championship rounds at Silverstone back in 2010.
This is the MC12 #1 car which was piloted by Michael Bartels (DEU) and Andrea Bertolini (ITA) about 20 minutes before the start...




and a pit stop...

 

It sure is.
