Are you serious? Sure it wasn't just a 370z + imagination?

That doesn't sound like it was too far from their Paradise Rd office over near Algester, so seems plausible?

i know that when i worked for a company in acacia ridge, it is in the same street where nissan main warehouse/office is and they had the leaf EV in our driveway taking photos (was the only drive way out of the whole street that had some greenery haha) this was a year ago and ev isnt realeased yet so, yeah its plausible. but yeah without a pic its hard to confirm anything

Hey guys, just letting you know one was spotted quite a while ago in Melbourne!

You'll probably need a facebook account to see the photo though as it's on the OZFT86 page

Great read, thanks! Worked me up into another fever of anticipation for the arrival of my FR-S.

Why don't you make a thread for this in the main FR-S/GT 86 forum area - I'm sure many more would enjoy this - those who never venture into the AU regional forum.

I doubt it would have been a sighting of one on Brisbane's South around Mains Road/Kessels.

I got an email from Toyota on Logan Road for an update on the car pasted straight from my email that was received on Monday:

"As we expected, first 86 is on the ship to Brisbane according to stock list.
It takes 2 weeks in the sea."

So chances are these would be very first cars to Brisbane which would most likely be the demo cars for each of the dealerships?
