Nice! I would've gotten red if it was available at the time!
Great colour!

Definitely hope you got winter tires though!

Question, where is the back up camera???

Had the backup camera installed about 3 weeks ago, I was really tied up to update this thread. On top of being really busy, I'm going through hell with the service I had at Red Hill Toyota. Received a couple of dents on the trunk, a foot long dent on my passenger door and scratches on the bumper (very minor). One more thing, PDI missed a mess up on my paint . Looks like a big paint run on my passenger door, the same door it got dented... sigh

Well here are the pics of the camera, take note of the dents on the right hand side.

Man thats brutal!


Is the dealer fixing the issues?

Tcoat 03-27-2015 02:56 PM

Holy crap!

Ouch! Sorry to see the damage. I just noticed you're in Trenton...I'm not far away. If you're ever up for some twisty backroads, shoot me a PM.

Lorico 03-27-2015 09:04 PM

To make matters worse.... I live 250km away from this dealership. Its our family's 4th toyota vehicle. All purchased within 3 years from the same dealership.

The door with the dent/scratched is being repainted because of the factory paint was faulty. The trunk better get painted as well. They haven't gotten back to me yet about that. I have a booked a date for my repaint for the door.

Yah man, for sure. I've lived here for 4 years. And I've only been to Belleville twice. I don't go out much, only to GTA and hamilton on my leave.

I am headed up to Trenton in July. My grandson is going into Air Cadets in the fall and I wanted to take him through the museum and air park. I spent a lot of time on that base in the mid 70s and late 80s early 90s and have many fond memories. Also some substantial gaps in my memory as well to be honest (Damn fine Officers Mess).


I will drop you guys a line when I have a firm date and maybe we can all take a run.

There are some entertaining roads starting just north of Belleville. Even better north of Hwy 7, starting around Tweed...some real rollercoasters up there. I took my avatar picture on one of them.

Let me know date , time and place. Good chance I can make it as well.

Oh this could get good...

I'll say!
And I recall that there are some pretty sweet roads around there. Be even sweeter in the FRS then they were in an old Kaiser army jeep or deuce and a half.
You guys don't have a group up that way that we could try to work something in with do you?
I will open a new thread once I have an idea when. (Lorico can have his back).

@Tcoat there are a few of us around the Belleville/Trenton area, but I have had trouble getting anyone to commit to group drives. If yourself and @Lorico were interested in heading up to the Tweed area (about 1/2 hour north of Belleville) to start, I'm pretty sure some of the Ottawa group (like @Pbrown ) would join us. We had a group of about 20 FRZs touring some of those roads last fall and it was a blast.
