Run in

Picked up my GT86 last Saturday and spent the week getting it run/broken in.
A few snaps along the way...


Arrival in the Principality.


A road.


Car on the road.


Cotswolds run, at Tortworth Court (BTaP Venue)


On the way to the seaside.


At the seaside - Woolacombe.


Job jobbed.


Tired and shagged out after a long day/week.

Love the "A Road" Picture.
However, you guys realize that you are still driving on the wrong side of the road, arent you? ;-)

Yep.

No problem...

... for the first few tens of miles.
