(NSW) Top Bloke - Andrew Smith
 
Just want to express mass gratitude and appreciation to Andrew Smith for going the extra step in keeping us all informed, for being proactive in helping us all on the new 86. Without him i think most of us would have gone insane.

I personally havn't dealt with him in purchasing an 86 however, the amount of information provided by him and his up to date knowledge revolving the car & dates/deliveries etc has been something we all customers needed.

So again, a BIG THANKYOU to Andrew Smith.

:thanks::thanks::thanks:

I second that. Even though I've got mine elsewhere he helped me out with my odd questions about the 86.

Thanks for your kind words guys. None of this would even be possible without your support.

Thanks from me as well, wish I had bought from andrew but I rang him too late. Big contributor to the 86 community

BTW Andrew, never asked, but are you getting an 86 yourself?

shire1976 06-22-2012 12:16 AM

Outstanding operator

Probably wouldn't have bought one without him.

Thanks Andrew, Getting my car through him aswell. From what he told me he drives the family sedan(Camry?) to work each day but apparently the boss might put him in an 86? maybe we should conference call the dealership and ask for the dude in charge, we can do some arm twisting as a community...

Andrew whats his email we will bombard him demanding you need a 86 to represent the dealership better!!!

As long as I get my car first of course, HAHAHA ;)

Lulz, not in the Camry anymore, one of the guys sold it the other day. it was a Liquid Metal 2011 Camry Ateva (Power seats, rev. camera, 6 stacker, alloys, bluetooth, cruise, fog lamps tint, mats, etc), quite a nice car to drive that one and fantastic on fuel. They have me in a White Aurion at present. Loads of power but too comfy, makes me want to go to sleep but that could just be lack of sleep in general :D

Anyways, i had the 86 GT Manual overnight on Thursday just gone. Man i love that car. First car i've driven in a long, long time that you can have fun in at legal speeds and one that i really didn't want to give back.

How i feel about the GT/GTS can be summed up easily....Listen to the track from Tron legacy called "The Grid" and you'll know how i feel about this car. Makes me feel a little like James Bond too driving this amazing vehicle.

I would personally love to own one of these but i'm just not in a financial position to be able to own one just yet; so for now, i have to live the 86 vicariously through you guys and gals - that and the odd test drive or 40 (i think that's about what i'm up to, test drive wise anyway - gona be a whole lot more this weekend if everyone turns up who said they were going to.)

Anyone fancy being my assistant this weekend? :)
