Good to have something to look forward to Byron. As you say complement the stable perfectly :thumbsup:

Kathleen and I put the finishing touches on the route for our European trip last weekend, now just need to wait until it’s safe to do it :driving:
awesome stuff buddy, hopefully ill see you guys soon for a meetup!!!
It is, yeah think we’ll be meeting up sooner rather than later, original preference is back in 1st place :thumbsup:

Just out of interest, why wouldn’t they let you change the colour? Is it because of a set number of each colour and you book a specific build rather than just a slot for a car?

R.E the car, i have no idea , he just said.... i cant change the colour now the order is locked in..... but the pearl red and pearl white where my choices so ill just assume the universe wished me to have a red one! most of them are white according to the dealer. so it will be nice to have a red one.

After abit of moaning they've changed my order to pearl white.... which apparently was a cancelled order otherwise i wouldn't have got it.... ( not sure how true that is . it was always close between the red and the pearl white but..... every since my old pearl R5 turbo..... ive always wanted another car in that colour and i couldn't ignore this chance, feels like a homage to the car i loved the most and wished i never sold. Put simply red was gorgeous but.... the pearl white speaks to my soul.

It’ll be well worth the wait bud :thumbsup: it definitely is being received well and more to the point you love it and you want one and you’ve managed to secure one even though you’ve to wait a bit. Enjoying it is the most important pat of that post :driving:

As we’ve spoken about that’ll roughly be when we’re off on our first European trip. I take it you’re going to the ring to spectate with your shiny new Yaris?

You’ll have mine to PPF first :wink:

Interior is suitably shite. Can't wait to have some extended time with this.
Just an FYI, the rear bumper looks 100x worse on the white ones, especially the area behind the rear wheel. It's just a huge great space full of nothing.
