Tomorrow is the day!

Official release day tomorrow! Can't wait for our cars to arrive so we can get our company demo sorted and cars already sold ready for delivery!

I haven't been this excited about a new car launch for years. I love it as it's reminded me how awesome an experience it is when you have an exciting product that you just know people are going to love.

I'm just trying to make it a jaw dropping experience for all my customers but firstly allow me to share with you guys and gals if it wasn't for these forums and others like them it would have been that much harder to get the message across so thanks to the forum creator/mods/admin.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone who has purchased an 86 from me so far! Without you folks we don't exist as an industry so thanks very much for your kind words and support leading up to this point.

Another MASSIVE THANK YOU to Toyota Japan and Toyota Australia for giving us the opportunity to share this fantastic concept and amazing machine with you all.

And last but definitely not least another MASSIVE THANK YOU to my employer, Warren Toyota, for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this incredible ride!

It's only the beginning.......I have some awesome ideas I'm going to try and make happen for you folks to enrich your 86 experience all the more. These i will disclose in the fullness of time (i.e. when i figure it all out).

Thanks to all for your patience thus far in a challenging situation not knowing all there is to know about the 86 but just doing my best to help you.

As Lleyton Hewitt used to cry out when tennis was kinda interesting: " COME ON! " Monday the 18th of June.

Big thankyou to you as well mate, you've been an incredible help by keeping us updated as new info came along and all the advice you've given! Greatly appreciated. If your boss is reading this, I think you deserve a bit of a bonus eh?

Anyway, I look forward to meeting you when I pick up my new baby.

Cheers dude!

Haha, after two years of New York I'm heading back to Sydney in September and have preordered the car for then. Andrew is in charge of making sure I'm greeted by my new 86 when I land . haha
