He said?
You mean he/you were driving one of the 4 cars up and down Zero Ave :-p
Thanks for the camera phone pics nevertheless :-)

Why are they all heading back west? Surely they should be fanning out eastwards from Richmond to all the expectant dealers ;-)

Lol I bet he was extra carful cause he's driving one of the few BRZ. From the angle it doesn't look like that pothole out have done anything though

Most likely yes. They were probably in transport to a dealership for private test drives.

Very interesting to see them on the streets though. Makes me feel like the waiting is almost over!

Probably. They must be doing the break in period on them or something, so the guest wouldn't over rev the engine and lower it's life time

I guess the whiteout FR-S is already on the move. It is owned by the Regional Scion Manager or so O.R. Scion says.

I just stopped by richmond scion today to see if the white frs was there, no dice. I spoke to ahmed when i was there and he told me that i'll be back sometime next week for a few hours.

Yea, i don't know what the deal is with this car, they told me it belonged to "regional headquarters"

He said he would call me, if you wanna send me your cell # i can shoot you a text or something, or call the dealer yourself and ask to be notified.

I don't know what we'll be allowed to do once it does show up though..i doubt we can drive it..which is all i really care about. It might just be a 'sit in' deal..which i believe you already did..
