Toyota GR Corolla in the UK; £5k drop tops; how far have you taken a car?

from The Gassing Station · host PistonHeads

Welcome back to The Gassing Station! On this week's episode, John joins Jeremy Clarkson and Harry Metcalfe by being the latest motoring journalist to own a farm, before mustering some kind words about the new Mercedes CLA. Cam, meanwhile, has been digging through the PistonHeads classifieds and discovered that there's a Toyota GR Corolla for sale in the UK. Not only that, but one's also available on PistonHeads auctions at the time of recording, which is remarkable given they aren't available to buy in Britain. It will, however, be manufactured in the UK from next year, which led to an argument between John and ChapGTP over cars that were produced in the UK but never sold here. For topic two, Cam finds a PHer in need of some help finding a new convertible for £5,000 to replace their two Saabs (good start). John smashes it out of the park with an Audi S4 (B6) Convertible, albeit going over budget by £500, while Cam puts forward a BMW 325i (E93) Convertible with a lovely straight six. Which would you take?Finally, in a world so sensitive to high mileage cars, Cam and John find out just how far some PHers have taken cars in their ownership. No surprise, they're all capable of going well over 100,000 miles... All that and more on this week's episode of The Gassing Station!
