86 Club Get Together - October/November 2012

Damn, you were missing a Red one! I'll try to drive up for the next one (any excuse will do...)

[sav]

Cool, yeah we were also missing orange and grey.

Great photos, Matt! Thanks :-) Really liked the ones taken at Hungry Wheels. Gave it a uniquely African feel that was different to any other pics of these cars that I've seen.

[Matt_RSA]

Thanks guys... We can send these to Toyota South Africa, then next time they definitely won't want to miss out

[sav]

Yep, I've already sent some of the pics through.

[Matt_RSA]

Awesome!!! Thanks

[Crewzern]

Are we not going to create a separate thread for the meet and post our pics? Would be nice if the SA 86's was featured on the home page

[sav]

Good idea.

Hi Gents

I promised you guys some links to the best (not all hardcore drift videos but rather more informative) 86 related videos - so here they are...

And maybe on the topic of a Track day we could maybe start with a skidpan/gymkhana day - it may be easier to get it arranged without helmets etc. as most of the work will be done in 1st or 2nd gear.

Enjoy!

I agree with the Skidpan, it would be excellent to test the limits safely!

Also, my favorite 86 video of all;

Nino Karotta driving the 86 across Europe, 21 mins long, but absolutely worth it!

Welcome Vic_RSA!!!

[Vic_RSA]

Thanks Matt!

Nice to be part of what appears to be a very balanced club of enthusiasts and hooligans rather than snobs like I have seen in other clubs. It's all about the cars and driving here - the way a niche sports car club should be!

[Vic_RSA]

And one I almost forgot...
