Goodbye 86

Toyota has announced that the GT86 is no longer for sale in South Africa.

Thought TA was leaving.

When a boom gate at a Centurion estate closed on the roof of my Toyota 86, I was annoyed.

I drove home and inspected the damage: a small dent with chipped paint the size of a grain of rice.

I shouted at the roof, but the dent did not go away – and that was the last I thought about it.

That’s the beauty of the 86.

Its owners are passionate enough to be upset about a small scratch, such is the beauty of the car, but sensible enough to know that this is life and cars must be driven around.

This anecdote is so out of place.

So the Toyota 86 just got 86'ed?

I will see myself out.
