Same here, I've been giving "tours" of it all week. I'm really surprised by all the comments about the wheel design. Four different people have pointed out how great they look. I have to admit, they're much better looking in person than photos.

When Phil called me, he said there were two: a white one (auto) and a WRB (6 speeds). When I arrived I told him that wasn't the WRB but the GBS and he was surprised. So Phil had no idea that the GBS was your pre ordered. Glad nobody bought it before you showed up (including myself). I live in Botanica Lakes so treeline is my playground, best road around here.
I'll let you know when mine arrives, we can do Autocross at Lehigh or Track days at Seebring if you are interested.

Sigh, if we only had that color in Canada.

We're limited to 4/7 colors here.

Yeah, I was glad I showed up when I did! What color did you order?

Let me know, I'd definitely be up for Autocross or Track Days. I didn't realize anyone was autocrossing so close. I haven't tried either yet, but that was half the reason to get this car.

My wife got me a few laps in a Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Audi R8 last month(at Homestead) - that was a blast. I started looking into HDPEs and track days as soon as I got back in town.

Here's hoping your car gets in soon, that wait was excruciating.

Amalgamo · 06-15-2012, 10:33 PM

I ordered Dark Grey. Here is autox info: http://www.gulfcoastautocrossers.com/ and for HDPE's I use www.chinmotorsports.com July 14th is the next event at homestead. I might take the bimmer down there. Let me know if you are interested on going.

My top and only choice was GBS, but I have not yet seen a WRB in person, must look nice too. There are very little to none BRZ's here in SFLA. I only know of mine and a white one that got to my dealer in the same truck as mine.

I want to see it in WRB, DGM and Red.

I think he meant to say he regrets not getting the GBS. *He had originally ordered one and then ended up getting a WRB since it was sooner, don't blame him though, gotta just get into one of these ASAP!

*If memory serves correct

I knew he meant that, I know he got WRB instead of GBS.

Righto! Now lets get the GBS mafia to take him out

Sportsguy83 · 06-18-2012, 09:43 PM

I am still not over the fact he betrayed us...

Amalgamo, what color did you pre-order?

So, will one you come down to Homestead next Saturday? I work literally 5 minutes from the track, would love to go and meet you guys there.
