Spotted silver 86 in croydon park with aftermarket wheels, 3:15pm. @tibsy92 ?

Captain Snooze · 11-25-2012, 07:38 AM

I was stationary at the white "x". I saw a black car at red "x". I thought I could have gone but the red x car was moving and I had my father with me. He doesn't cope well with my normal driving. (Not that I am racing; just faster than what he is used to, especially around bends). I realised it was a 86/BRZ. (I think it was an 86; had day runners).By the time the red x car had passed in front of me it was going quickly. It looked incredibly poised as it hit a couple of tiny bumps. Like the car was thinking "yeah, I knew I hit some bumps but I chose to ignore them". By the time it disappeared from sight I was thinking that my license might be in peril.

btw. Subaru site has brought forward my delivery date from April to 8/03/2013

friend forwarded this to me and said it was probably me! I live just near there... so if it was like 11am Sat morning then it was me.
that corner is great, its like ripple strips coming out of it and you bounce around and the car just sticks to the road

Captain Snooze · 11-25-2012, 10:26 PM

Yeah!!! That's was about the time. I love that roundabout. Lots of variation as you go around!!! As I said the car looked incredibly sorted.

Arr that round about providing some good times when I use to go through there in my Old IS200. Lived in Canberra for about 5 months for work earlier in the year. Canberra definitely compliants a great handling car

Grey GT/GTS Williamstown - coles carpark! :P

I think I may have seen ZZT86 today, on Bayswater Rd at about 2pm.
I was coming down the hill towards the intersection with Canterbury Rd and saw an orange GTS (my first orange one I've seen). Had personalized number plates, but didn't have my glasses so couldn't make it out.

Yeah, you were 'mostly' behaving yourself, I was just across the road from where you parked.

I saw this one again on Sunday on Majura Road near the Masters Hardware store.

Earlier on the Sunday I was at the Marulan Driver Training Centre and there was a Burnt Orange GT in the carpark.

Red 86 with Aero at car wash near South Strathfield (near Maccas/KFC and Strathfield South High School)

Car looked sweet and I loved the wheels, I think they were Einkei. What type? Is it someone on this forum?
