    Burnout!

    Well. Im quite sure this is a 3 banger. But If you were ever wondering if a micra could do a burnout.

    So if a 3 can do it, surely our 4 banger can!

    Poor Micra! I'm guessing it's a rental/service loaner.

    Sounds like the triple to me.

    I abused my Toyota a bit, 2 teenagers that took 10 years off it's life, a few 'minor' burnouts at reds, a dozen times down Cayuga's 1/4 mile strip, but my Micra will not see any of this! It gets TLC!

    Your dealer probably also told you that his service department employs unicorns, and the sales manager is a Disney Princess.

    She did look like she could have been the oldest Frozen sister. lol And confirmed the service dept employs old British guys who have nothing but metric wrenches and sockets.
