Jeff from Toronto
Picked up a black BRZ back in August. Was more of a spur of the moment type purchase but more than happy nonetheless. Had an Acura RSX and just happened to walk into a Subaru dealer while the wife was looking at KIA next door. They had a BRZ for someone in the showroom which was obviously already spoken for. Salesman had told me that the buyer was actually considering pulling out so on that same day I just left a deposit for it in case it didn't. I honestly didn't think anything of it since I wasn't in the market for a new car let alone another tuner to slowly drain my wallet!
In about a week or so, I was the proud owner of a new BRZ! Lol. Extremely happy with the car and I look forward to what the future holds!

Irish Newbie

Hi all,

Another impatient future owner signing in.
I'm Ciaran from Ireland but I live in France at the minute in Strasbourg.
I have a pearl white ordered and due for collection in Janruary.
I've always been a german car man and I was looking along the lines of M3's and Z4m's when I came out here. Just passing a Toyota garage one day and I took it for a test drive. For a car that is costing me not much more than the second hand options I was thinking of, it's a cracking little car!!

I'm hoping to get some TRD aero added by the dealership, and I will fit coils and lightweight wheels at a later stage. Looking at some of the members threads here, I'm watching very closely to see what's working best for mods and what's not! With such great driving roads all around me over here, I plan to make the most of this little car over the next few years Alpine mountain passes are 4 hours away and the nurburgring is 4 hours in the opposite direction

Anyway, hopefully you'll welcome a VW/BMW guy with open arms!! (Don't worry, I've a corrado project car waiting for me in the garage too!!)



Looking forward to getting involved with the community
Ciaran

Hello everyone! I've been on the site and posted a few times but didn't have a FR-S or BRZ. I do now! I traded my 12 Focus Titanium daily driver (in back of pic) tonight for a Whiteout manual FR-S. I couldn't take that DSG trans and MyFord Sucks system anymore. I've attached a pic of the car. (cellphone quality, sorry) Not like it's the first Whiteout pic anyways. Looking forward to being active on the forum as I get more seat time in the car...


and NO the Boss isn't going anywhere!

Thought I'd say hello too. So: HELLO! :-)

I'm currently in the process of getting a gt86 in firestorm, mt.
After many uninspiring years without my soooo loved 200sx s13 (currently drive a Toyota Aygo...) I thought I need something equal to the s13 to fill the gap in my heart.
Man I love this machine! And this car is just perfect for swiss streets. The test drive on manly curvy roads was something like: BAMMM! That's exactly THE car! And I felt what I've missed from my s13 times.

Sooo... give me a few extra weeks and I'll be one of you guys! :-)

Just got my ultramarine FR-S. Been feeling like a little kid playing with his new toy. Even did a shoot of the car yesterday with my friend pics will be up shortly of that for now. Here is the kid still wrapped and new at the dealer.

Hello everyone, I got my FR-S two months ago, I love it! Firestorm, with 6 speed atm. I scraped the new off of it the other day. It was bound to happen sometime!

Hi everyone,

This is my first post to the forum. I bought my GT86 white 6 days ago and I love it. I have been following the forum for a while and your posts helped me to decide, thanks a lot for everyone. Used to drive very fast cars (2008 911 turbo sold, 2010 ZR1, 2011 CTS-V sold) all 6MT. I love the way the GT86 drives and I am
Looking forward to take it to the track after the brake in period.
