Ok, so when is Toyota going to do the track / zerotech day for us. I reckon to celebrate car of the year, this would be a fantastic idea.

I agree, and funny enough I was at Gerotek last week and spoke to one of the guys about it. They reckon it would be a good idea and said they would get back to me regarding discounts, etc on the advanced driving course.

To be honest, I was hoping for a free skidpan/training day at Zwartkops, I wouldn't want to drive my 86 on the pothole infested road to Gerotek,

The road to Zwartkops can also be a bit dodgy at times despite the recent upgrades... The areas you drive through are terrible... Skidpan at Kyalami is nice (well was last time I was there) and will save a few km...

Anybody have any high up contacts in the airforce? Driving on a runway would be fun... Zwartkops airbase...

I actually stay right by the Zwartkop Airbase on Zwartkop Country Estate, that would be awesome if I could just go in and play on the runway, haha

If anyone is keen for a beer in Jhb though, give me a shout ;-)
I see there was an 86 meet in November or December? I take delivery 2 January so would be very keen!
