AtleDreier's GT86
Got the call yesterday, my car will be here late next week!
Dark Gray Metallic, 6MT. Ordered it back in may with a january estimate, so pleasantly surprised that the car is early. Alrady ordered winter tires and wheels for it so I'm ready for the norwegian winter. We don't get much snow here though, so I opted for Nokian hakkapelittaa R studless tires. They are supposedly good for cold, wet asphalt which is what we have 95% of the winter. Wheels are cheap'ish plain 5-spoke wheels. I don't even know the brand, the tireplace said they was pretty light and that's enough for me. Not concerned with looks in the winter anyway. Not planning alot of mods for this, at least not in the beginning. SuperSprint exhaust is very high on the list though, mostly for noise. Now the REAL waiting game begins! |

Got the call, picking her up in an hour. Told them not to wash it, so don't expect any shiny new car pictures just yet. -7C here, so a proper wash is some time off still. At least I get to drive it!

Happy for you. I'm waiting for mine which is for Jan 2013. |

Got her safely back home. Only hit the rev limiter once, and was only sideways 40ish times... Damn this is a fun car!

Still in love with it. Have almost 800km on the odometer now, most of them on snow. Finally starting to see some dry roads here so I can drive it properly.
I use any excuse to go for a drive. Even work is fun since it involve a 45 minute commute either way. :-) |

Just realized all the cool stuff you can do with the Touch&Go headunit! Registered at Toyota, downloading new firmware and cool apps for it right now! :-)
Geek? Me? Noooo! :-D |
