Helps you track the status of your order

Thanks chaps.
Another question for the lads that work in Toyota dealerships, does it look like there will be a service plan we can buy?

[Atkinson2k]

Sam.M - from your post does that mean you can actually track it once it’s left the factory ?

No. Mines on the boat having left the factory and not trackable.

I assume once the car is with me the location function works much like “Find My iPhone”

[Atkinson2k]

Haha yes my Lotus has the same feature !

[Mikebentley]

I think the new TVR has the same feature. You can track it’s build on CEEFAX or Oracle.

There’s also a dial up message board app for your IBM compatible PC, assuming you have the 9600 baud modem.

Tracked the build of my ford escort by abacus...

Sounds like dealers may start seeing demonstrators Friday or next week according to the FB group. And one person has had a delivery date of there car (non circuit pack) for the same period.

Can’t wait to see pictures of these cars when they arrive. I think black will be good but no real poor colours from what I have seen. The ring photos from yesterday were a development and I like the vents behind the front wheels.

There’s a photo of a rally spec car I think they used for the Japanese press days in black with red mudflaps on Instagram and it looks great.

Mailed my dealer(Motorline Group) the blog post Toyota responded to saying the demonstrators arrive this month asking directly if Motorline Group have a demo inbound, no response yet.

Looks like I am going to have to find a test drive elsewhere and just be upfront with whoever it is.

Dealer just called. Their demo is due on the 29th.

Test drive booked for the 31st.

Which dealer is that, if you don't mind?

My dealer (Steven Eagell in Colchester) are being completely and utterly useless, and aren't telling me anything

To Circuit or not to Circuit? That’s the question. JBL sounds tempting.

Diffs > Sounds.

Easier to retrofit some nice speakers than a pair of diffs.

I am more concerned about possible stiffness on our A-verage roads, waiting to test drive.

Less of a concern for me, it'll be positively Bentley-like compared to my MX5 running Gaz Gold Pro
