Had lots of fun at the Solo2 event today. The car was great to thread through the cones, even if it does have slightly less torque than my Vette. It was stiffer than I expected and seemed to dance a little over small high-frequency bumps. But from what I recall, it rolls noticeably less than my Miata I ran 3 years ago. Maybe that was partly because of the stiffness, and maybe partly because of the low roll center.

Lots of interest in the car by other folks at the event.

Saw a rare bird tonight. Was at the Coloseum tonight to see Spiderman (highly recommend seeing it) and as we were leaving was right behind a white BRZ. Looks very good. Was nice seeing you guys last night and look forward to more meets. I would have come out to see the action today Collin buy my golf game didn't finish until 4 pm. Will try again though.

Sounds like Pastuch's car!

Also saw Spidey with my son on Thursday night, was great and much better than the previous ones. Love the Stan Lee cameos in the films.

Thanks for the rides at Solo2, was a blast.

Cool shots Mike, thanks for posting them!

Please note that in the first one, I am not normally *that* far off the cone! Not sure which corner that was, but hopefully I was setting up for something else instead of being really really sloppy.

Glad you enjoyed the rides Mike. I'm sure by now you are getting used to the sensations and it's only a short step to seeing you out in your FR-S too!

Hey guys!

Just heard from my dealer! My FRS is in Toronto! He gave me my VIN

How long do you think before it's here? :O

Awesome! Should be a few days at most. All depends how many other cars are coming to Ottawa or your dealer (i.e. they won't drive up without a full load).
My dealer had told me that once it hits Toronto, should be 24 hrs.

Hope you get it quickly!

Hey everyone... New to the forums.

Mine came in from Toronto and it was 24 hours plus a bit of prep time for TG.

Haha! Thanks. I still have to get my insurance etc sorted out though! This is my first car.

I'm planning on getting the windows tinted. Do you recommend anyone?

PM will be appreciated

Dear higher power,

Please allow for an abundance of FR-S stock. We have some hungry people to feed.

The wait will be worth it!!

Sincerely,

M

Word on the street is the next batch is expected to start flowing in anytime now. Hard to say any exact dates but should be very soon. Hope they have enough manuals
