I still haven't seen any on the road besides mine or Ravine's haha.. Pretty sure the "spotting" concept is meant to be for cars on the road.. dealers don't really count :P

Seen a grey 86 last night in the Everton Park/Arana hills area going off Rode Rd (Brisbane guys will know where this is).

Looked damn nice!

Very soon! I need to give it a light wash.. driving it in the wet made it kinda dirty

I'll do a proper review when I post up pics, but I'm loving the auto. Very responsive compared to other auto cars that I've driven. Switching to manual mode is pretty fun too, but I'll wait a bit longer before I use it "properly" haha.

I don't have any regrets in getting auto, I drive a lot through peak hour traffic so it's fantastic for that. Basically whatever makes you happy dude, both versions are fantastic

I'm in Brisbane right now for a gig and my mate drove into his apartment complex. First thing that I see through the gates.

Got waved at by a White 86 driving down Olympic Boulevard today, around 9:40am at Sydney Olympic Park.

Spectacular car!

Aww man, was that any of us? I drove through there an hour earlier in my 86 on the way to work haha. Have yet to see one other than a dealer demo or my own on the road!
