Silver this morning on N1 North after Vodacom. Now becoming as popular as BMW 3 series.....

[Vladror]

next week the 86 will feature in topgear, I guess that should bump up its popularity even more.
Although i must say, I hardly see any around cape town, I catch a glimpse of one maybe once a week.

Seems to be plenty in the North...

[Matt_RSA]

Not many in my area. I am in Edenvale. I've seen Vic (black) and Brian (silver), and one white...

I obviously drive in all the wrong places, have only seen three others.

Same, I've only seen one since it was launched.

Assuming an optimistic 5 year lifespan, with ~700 per year allocated to us, means ~3,500 countrywide. Even a 10 year lifespan is still only 7,000. That's really not a lot, so it should definitely remain sort of exclusive. I just hope that they don't decide to increase the allocation now that I have mine!

was filling up yesterday and a guy in a lambo pulled in at the next pump...
passersby gave me as many stares as him (looking from one to the other) and it must have really annoyed the lambo guy as he revved his car a few times before pulling away. In the sound department, his car definitely wins though
