First customer BRZ in the country

Car now with the transport company apparently so should be at the dealers on Monday.

I'll get some pre delivery photos then and post them up.

Have had a few new Scoobies over the years so that may explain the nice delivery slot

Not happy bunnies here in yorkshire - our dealer who we have had the car ordered with since december has said it wont be ready till mid till late september. The reason give was all the options we picked which were - dark grey metallic / sat nav / cloth seats with red trim which come with the red steer wheel etc. To be honest if it doesnt come on these dates or earlier we might as well wait until after the winter.

Cloth seat? Heated (half leather) Alcantara you mean?
- wonder if that's the delay?
Mine is due late August (also ordered dec) but have told the garage I'll not be picking it up/want it registered for sept 1st instead .. No point in buying a brand new car that will be on an old plate a week later.

Mine is Ordered with:
heated Alcantara (black/black - just red stitching no red flashes on seats or wheel. White. Automatic. And touch and go sat nav as well. (All boxes ticked)

The order was cloth seats not heated but with the red flash on the corners, red steer wheel etc. / sat nav / metallic paint. Not exactly a massive spec change. Wife not very happy wouldn't like to be in dealers shoes!! I agree on your comment for the 1st sept but to be honest I'm not happy as any further delay puts it into October - not much point with winter looming after that!!

Congratz on the BRZ delivery dude! Can't wait to see it...

SL, nice photo's man... I'm buying a house (my first one) this year, so I thought it sensible to hold off putting any money down on a GT until I know for sure what my monthly out goings will be! But it looks like I can considering purchasing early next year... we'll have to organise a Bristol meet

SL · 06-25-2012, 06:37 AM

my mrs spotted these this morning!
looks good in grey

more likely customer ones this time (with the lack of display plates and the extra covering)?

Morten Harket · 06-25-2012, 06:42 AM

I hope that orange one is mine lol.

SL · 06-25-2012, 07:56 AM

toyota sales staff having some fun with the GT86 earlier today... (Donington Park)

Morten Harket · 06-25-2012, 08:31 AM

My sales guy will be there today. I will be hassling him tomorrow for all the gen on the car. Jammy gits!

faz1 · 06-25-2012, 09:51 AM

Just had a call from my Toyota sales guy. No news on my car but a GT86 demo car got delivered there unexpectedly this morning (they were expecting a Yaris Hybrid and got a black GT86!).

He's at Donnington tomorrow but booked me in for a spin on Wednesday.

Happy days!

I reckon that was the instructor driving lap

haha, yeah probably!.. my mrs took the video, she's there today with her garage.
i'll check out her drift skills later as apparently they were given videos (on usb sticks) of their own drive!..

Morten Harket · 06-25-2012, 11:09 AM

Nice and wet for a spot of drifting. My dealers demo car is due on wed. Excited to go see it and go for a spin
