Will Tada be doing any signings?
Wouldn't mind getting my copy of Top Gear Car of the Year or the Wheels 86 Special Edition Booklet signed by the man himself. |

Hey guys, I've joined the forum so I could post some photos we took on the day. I'm Pete, Stephanie is my better half, and I'm using my number plates as my forum tag. If you see us around Sydney give us a wave huh? :happy0180:
Here's the photos, sorry about the general iPhone crappiness: http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9772ef7a.jpg Waiting in line before the gates opened. Glad to have met Juvenile, I like his subtle mods too. There was an awful rear-end accident here on the main road and I hope the guy in the grey 86 is ok. http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8851e348.jpg View back at the line waiting to enter. Never get tired of saying 'hey, nice car!' http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...psa0e3a1a4.jpg Tada-san escaped his minders and started greeting peeps at the gatehouse! Controlled mayhem ensued! http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0a4adf15.jpg It's like his babies are coming home to roost. http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...psbbdaa025.jpg Doesn't he look like a proud father? http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps436181de.jpg One of three car parks full of 86s. http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1d4772c4.jpg And another car park full. It was great to fully appreciate each colour in the bright winter sunshine, photos never do justice to these cars. http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...psd9af5f70.jpg http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...pse30972b7.jpg http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps094544f2.jpg My missus is an avid Doctor Who fan and loved this number plate. She wanted to call ours 'The TARDIS' but I said no. If I agreed to that then she'd probably make me dress up as David Tennant. There's only so many ladies one man can beat away with a stick http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps91925714.jpg Tada-san giving his welcoming address. Don't forget boys and girls, it's all about PASSION, NOT COMMITTEE! (never get tired of that!) http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps242124b2.jpg Beau Yate's soon-to-be rally 86. Just look at the workmanship, sexy time! http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...pse7f1ca83.jpg http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7be9f152.jpg http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps91e97a91.jpg http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps60f6da20.jpg (In Borat vocal style) Is niiice, I like! http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps314fb216.jpg Tada-san's handling optioned 86 out near the merch stand. Gotta love the VO and those rims, very nice. http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...pse7ef99b8.jpg The missus having her t-shirt signed by the great man himself. Tada-san must have been signing stuff for nearly three hours, he's so cool. I wonder if he knows just how happy he has made all of us? http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps35943837.jpg Tada-san was nice enough to sign my owner's manual, as well as pose for a quick photo. Great success! http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps337c053d.jpg After Tada-san cut the massive 86 birthday cake, we grabbed a slice and were about to take off. My father-in-law appeared out of nowhere! He's a crafty one and loves his cars. Not sure how he got through the gatehouse but I guess he did buy a new Corolla last year so why not? http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8d9170db.jpg As the event was closing, the marshalls got everyone still on site to form a motorcade and park along the main road within the grounds. Tada-san went to the front of the queue and a photographer snapped everyone from atop a ladder. Tada-san then waved everyone off. Thank you to Toyota, Neal Bates, Beau Yates, everyone involved in the various car clubs and of course Tada-san - we had a great day. Nice to have a yak with our fellow 86/BRZ/AE86 fans too. See you out there, drive safe. |

@ davey90: Your rims are awesome man, me jelly!
@ Juvenile: No worries, I was the same, wish I took more shots of the AE86s and BRZs but was standing in line for ages to meet Tada-san! Last edited by PB86SS; 08-12-2013 at 08:54 PM. Reason: . |

Does anyone know the dude who's 86 was rear-ended on Capt Cook Drive before the gates opened? We were near when it happened and when we realised it was an 86 we felt so bad. Hope he's alright and the car is repairable. I didn't want to look.
