Congrats Maj3sty! Worth the wait great that u finally got yours...have one seen one other orange one in the wild besides mine, so yeh I think the orange definitely gets attention cause not many people took the leap. Congrats again and enjoy!!

Interesting so you buy an 86 GTS only to realise you do not have the time or the money to drive said vehicle.

Congrats dude. Ive got an orange gts also. Lovin it.
Definitely gets some attention like guys waiting at the front door of the shops when they see me pull up just to ask me how it drives ect
I think the orange colour is awesome, I'm glad I went for something different to the standard white or black.
I'm still breaking mine in and getting used to my first manual car (my first non falcon/commodore also)

Just saying, i've had this car for exactly a week now and i've already clocked 900km on it :) Booking in my 1000km service.
I've only filled up once too by the way, damn thing is fuel efficient even after some spirited driving.


I. LOVE. THIS. CAR.

Good to hear @Maj3sty your lucky getting to 900km so quickly currently up in Darwin had mine since last Friday and only done 300km :cry: there is no where to go up here one road in and the next stop is Kathrine which is 300km away and don't want to sit on 130kph for that long while breaking the car in.

Have booked it in for the transporter though to go back to the Gold Coast in mid Feb where I will be able to drive it more and on better roads

Haha hey Majesty i saw you the other day driving along the City West link, i was driving the white GTS with black roof. We gave each other the friendly 86 nod. Your ride is looking good.

Indeed, did you drive off onto Victoria Road? I've seen a fair few of White 86ers on City West Link.

Heading westbound aka out of the city in the afternoon?
