knifey_spoonie-GT86 from Ireland
 

So, This is one of the First GT 86 to enter the country. At this point there is only 3 on the road in the whole country. This is partly down to the car culture here, A 1.8l is considered a large engine size and diesel cars outsell petrol by 5 to 1.

The GT 86 is a bit of a oddity in this country. Also the $50,000 price tag doesn't help either.

Nice, and great color choice...probably the best given the seat color accents. Plus, with so few of you, you might as well make a bold statement, right? Enjoy!

Looks good! :thumbsup:

Looks great! Congrats!...Everytime I see the 86 makes me wish ours looked like that over here :cry:

Ya call that a knife! this is a knife!
Thats a spoon!
I see you've played knifey spooney before...

I will be looking into how i can get those badges, they look awesome

i love that red

damn, thats expensive over there.... nice pics though

nice color!

We had a little 86 day celebration today. First time i have had the car on track and was really impressed with the car ability/ease to slide. The track time was split drift/grip track time so there was always some action on track.

Some photos.

50 what? $50k will get you into a nicely used 2010 M3.

Congrats!

I know cars are cheap in the US, but I had a look at cars in Ireland and there's actually 2009 E92 M3s cheaper than new 86s!

Car looks beautiful!! Have fun with it!!


I was actually born in Dublin... Unfortunately, that's all I remember about Ireland... Seems like a cold, rainy place that would be fun for a little sideways action in an 86...

@knifey_spoonie we'd love to see photos from the scenic roads you enjoy. Your countryside is beautiful!
