I thought it was me at 9 months after initially ordering in June, (it certainly felt like it!) but I'll bet there's probably others out there who haven't posted on the forums that are still waiting.

Most of the people here with similar waits to mine were smart enough to try different dealers to get a quicker order. There was one poor fellow on another forum that ordered in early July, and is still waiting (for a GT!).

It was pretty painful seeing people who ordered well after mine getting their deliveries, so I feel for anyone still waiting! But I can definitely say - it was worth the wait!

They must have cut back on the GT in preference for the GTS as my original order of 2 July was for a GT MT - that car is now being built April and I still have the tracking for it

I'd ordered that after being told, and confirmed by TMCA wait time was around 2/3 months whereas GTS was 12-18 months

Same cuddefred!! The GT I ordered 2 July is being built April so that wouldn't be delivered until June anyway!!

Great to catch up with 'Mark Marsh' today at Lakeside, awesome day with the MX5 Club FULL day on the track! 9 runs for me and I managed 65 laps!!

Funny how you 'speak' with people here and then actually meet them, and only realise after asking 'have you been on any forums?' and find out! Hope you had a good day watching me circulating around Mark!! That's one very nice looking 86!! Love the 18" alloys!!!

Greaat MM!! Now actually got 1,000km on it after a run up the Sunshine Coast yesterday

Coffee run this morning [current have this week off] and saw a nice Tornado Grey GTS BP Northbound - hahaha, turned out to be 'PANMAN' and his 86 looks awesome with the TRD rear lip and the wheels - I mentioned to him about QR in May and if he would like to join us

Ordered the parts at Keystar Subaru this morning for the spare, will be here Tuesday, $22 I think all up

Lawns today so I can go to Lakeside for a look tomorrow!!

Hey @Zero00 - good to meet you - nice to bump into another member.

Definitely keen on QR nothing like a run around the paperclip.

Likewise 'Panman' was great!! I've got in the habit of asking 86 owners I meet have they done the 'forum' thing, so amazing!!

Link to MX5 website that gave details for last Monday, have a look thru and also another topic named for 20 May next at QR

http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=56398

Have a look thru and it will show the lead up and then after the day, I think that's around page 11-12

Look forward to catching up again - just back from a run in the 86 and my luck!! IT RAINED!!! Damn!!

PS: Could you let me know where on here I can make a 'topic' so any 86/BRZ owners who would like to join the MX5's on 20 May can then get details?
