Great thread. First time I've read an entire thread in a long time.

Like you, I had the color dilemma, I ordered white, then changed it to black, then when back to white again - which I love, but it seems at least 50% of the 86 / BRZ's in NZ are white. And I now wish I'd bought WR Blue and put some gold or bronze wheels on it. Sigh.

Similarly, I had a wait. 7 months after I put my cash down. Worth it though. So worth it.

The engine gets stronger after 10,000km. Every things bedded in and it seemed to gain more top end and lower end. That torque dip though.

The roads you have there look perfect for the car. Tight windy B roads are where this car really finds its groove. You can just place it in the right spot. This is why people think the car is under powered - they're driving them on the wrong roads.

Anyway, enough from me. Congrats on your purchase. I'm looking forward to your updates - both to see your new whip and enjoy your creative writing style!
