Probably many more "UK Spec" Corolla GT than were ever brought to Ireland in the first place!

Ireland is a black hole for Corollas, stuff goes in but never comes back out!

There was a video on Juicebox some time ago where they mention almost all "UK Spec" Corolla's are JDM cars with retrofitted parts nowadays. I guess not many of the original UK spec cars survived...

I'm not sure how I missed this event, but I would have gone along if I had known about it.

This is what I mean when I've said that 86 fans are miserable and unsociable. Someone could have posted a thread on here to promote the event, but of course no one could be bothered.

I'm surprised they got as many 86s in attendance as they did, the last time I tried to organise a UK meetup at JAE I only got two people interested and that included myself.

If they run this event again in 2020, then I'll try to attend. But of course that does depend on them actually bothering to anyone beforehand.

Hey Power_uP try contacting the Corolla Brotherhood, they have a UK meet at least once a Year, it is usually near to Swindon. PM me if you can't find any contact details.

Thanks dude, I'll be attending the August meetup this year hopefully. To be honest, I don't do myself any favors by having an ancient phone and refusing to use facebook.

It has been confirmed that there is a 86 meeting in August. Same place as last year.

[Power_uP]

I'll head on over, hopefully will get to see a couple of the ten or so AE86s that are left in the UK. And I'm sure the whole event won't be full of pikeys running around asking: "Do you want to sell that?" or anything.

*Edit: Ok, I've had a look around and can't find anything. Can someone please tell me where this event is advertised so that I can make arrangements to attend.
Don't tell me 'its on facebook' because I don't use facebook and I still have a flip phone.

I think that's the one
