Needed a tiny cup of tea for that...
I had an espresso and I still didn't finish it.
One glug of tea and I missed the whole thing. Worried now that five meese snuff it for every mug of tea that I drink. That's twenty of the antlered unfortunates a day!

The GT86 looked kind of cool obliterating the moose though. Something quite 'hollywood' about it.

No discounts on the GT86 over in the US. It's rumoured to be selling (actual drive away) for more than a Camaro or a Mustang.

(BTW the Camaro is actually pretty good no matter what anybody says)

Proximity to Richmond Park and its (currently randy, admittedly) deer does get us thinking. Will our colleagues at Autocar miss their Caterham Supersport long termer for half an hour? Any volunteers?
Count me in. biggrin

I'll bring the Caterham, and I'm close to Richmond Park.

All you guys have to do is get the moose/elk there. smile

I don't think it miss power, maybe a little overpriced for a Toyota but I saw one on the road this week here in Germany and was fun to keep up to it on my diesel burner.

It does accelerate quite nicely for such small engine car.

On the side, does anyone knows how fast they go? It didn't keep up with my A4 3.0 TDI, I was going about 220 to 230kph...

I've got an increasing soft spot for the GT86 - sure the current NA model may not carry the power that it's aesthetic suggests. I'd really consider one if the performance benefit more reasonably offset the economy and tax penalties.

Made my day! Looked like the moose had had an enema even before the GT hit it.
