This is one of the things i like about the 86/BRZ - it doesn't appeal to the bogans/fully sick wannabes. They look at the stats and just blow it away - which is great because i would love for this car to remain in the hands of educated people who have done countless hours (years?) of research and arrived at the conclusion that this car is for them (if the price is right). The last thing i want to see is 86s/BRZs lowered till they scrape the ground with 20" chrome rims and a deafening muffler. I've never driven an mx-5 but i'm sure people who drive them have the similar views - and i doubt they care about looking like hairdressers because the fun they are having far out weighs the fact that they look like panzies. So gentleman i say embrace your inner panzy! lol

lol sticky, I don't know about embracing my inner hairdresser but I do much prefer tackling the passes than driving on the highway.

I'm guessing this is the orange one mentioned in the other post?:

Pretty sure this is taken at Toyota Regional Headquarters for Queensland... Paradise Road, Acacia Ridge... they've got lots of cool old Toyota's there too..
I tried getting the official product trainer to swing past and let me take a look; he is under strict instruction that it must not be taken to any dealers. Only to the training at the Greek Club in West End and then back under lock and key...

hmm, might be worth doing a driveby on the way to work, just in case.

won't be the first drive by at the greek club. zing! (ok sorry about that one already.)

In Mackay we have to wait until June 30 before any of these cars show up for the first time
