@autocar M2 for me please

@BenB_7 @PookyD81 Nice pic Ben - how steady do you have to drive with those suckers?

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@AsdaServiceTeam there - who would I contact via damage to my garden wall caused by an Asda delivery van in the late afternoon/evening of 6/5/2023 ( Saturday ) - it was an Asda van reg bum YA21 UTN. Probably came from your Shrewsbury, Shropshire store

@AsdaServiceTeam hi there

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@BenB_7 Nice 😎

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@matty_prior Enjoyed watching it @matty_prior - do you think you’ll ever put the GR86 through the full road test format for the mag like you did with the old car ? 🤔

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@matty_prior Cheers @matty_prior - look forward to reading it 👍

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@Bangernomics Ooh, reminds me of my old one - sunroof, Recaros etc … no dogleg box though - daily driver 20 years ago

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@benbarrycars Do you mean an E46 325ti ….. or the rarer E36 323ti?

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@i_am_ozzie @EmmaRaducanu Nerves of steel there

@Touringthecars @okeydokey_mik @NotoriousREV My 16v Astra was a brilliant steer even compared to 309Gti, Saxo VTS, R53 MCS - put so much waxoyl into it that it survives to this day 😬 ( currently on Sorn since November 2020 ). Hot hatch I miss most tbh

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@Kowalski_24_ @harrismonkey Yep, straight away I thought of Colin Goodwin @autocar

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@Carpervert @PookyD81 I hope so too - lose interest in the super cars but a restomod always looks more fun to me

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@evomagazine @HenryCatchpole I loved the Grand Challenges 😎 - probably as most of the fun cars I’ve had were around that buy-in point! 😂

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@danwebster4130 @harrym_vids @theJeremyVine @DomMarston He was right, dead right, as he cycled along……..but he’s just as dead as if he’d been dead wrong …….

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@raflogs @samdavisjnr Cheat?

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@conorjtwomey @theseoldcars Yes, probably the main one - Capri came to an end around the same time

[James Cameron @Tankslider]

Mind blowing. 167mph, rolling hard on the power.

[Mike328i @Mike328i]

@conorjtwomey @theseoldcars Were they popular? In the last full year of U.K. sales, as it was waning in popularity compared to new hot hatches, the Manta sold 4559 cars - by way of comparison, the modern GT86 UK sales figures for first 5 years of sales
