    Thank You! Happy to be in a car with such a strong community behind it.
    I don't massivley know the history I purchased the car from BMW Arden Maidstone after part-exchanging my 6 Series it was an ex-demonstrator with 10,000 miles on the clock. I was torn between going for this or the facelift but am really happy I went with the 1st Generation
    Thanks for the compliment the orange certainly gets a lot of attention! I was origanlly shopping for Pearl White but this colour works so well on the GT86

    I'm taking a couple of gas cookers and some water. So bring your own tea and coffee supplies and anything quick you want to cook yourselves.

    Hi all
    looking forward to tomorrow, weather looking fine and warm.
    Dont forget your chairs and cool boxes plenty food and drink options on site but you may prefer to bring your own. There is a beer bus if you fancy a drink.
    You need to be on site for 09:00 as doors open around 09:30 for the public. I will be there about 07:00 hopefully, for those of you meeting at the Dartford services ( DA11YT) see you there 06:00 - 06:30.

    I'm really surprised that some people are having issues with making contact with the local dealerships. The one I went to were desperate to be as helpful as possible (and i haven't received my letter!) and the techies I spoke to said that they're aware of the significance of communication between owners on forums like this one - particularly with cars like the 86... I hope all of you who are having issues get it sorted.

    I wonder if the same work can be done (on the 86) by subaru? I think there are less of them - but might be closer to some of us?

    @James18
    Morning All.. Had mine returned to me yesterday following the spring replacement; took it to Platinum in Trowbridge and was really impressed with the service and the way they dealt with it. I still haven't received a letter yet, but wasn't going to wait for one - so I phoned them up earlier in the month, they were really helpful and slotted it in within a few weeks!
    It had its 6yr service recently, so plugs didn't need to be changed, and the engine has only done 35k so I didn't need the clutch either. Few new pipes, air-con refill, oil filter etc (as per the norm). The technican said that the coolant was replaced (obviously) - so it shouldn't need changing on the 10yr service, which is good to know. Speaking to the technicans (sorry if I'm repeating what might already be on here), they have to be trained especially for the task - there aren't many of them that can do the job, and I think they can only do one at a time too because of space in the workshop. Nathan and Joe have done a few between them now though, and I haven't got any complaints; no leaks yet!!
    Thanks to Darrell for organising it too - he's been giving me daily progress reports/images and a visual inspection sheet, and they stuck absolutely to the timescale that they gave me originally.
    So, all's well that ends well!
    I've attached a few images - just the ones that aren't likely to just be repeats of what's come before. I'll report back if I have any problems, in the meantime...
    Nice to be able to swap back in the Yaris/Aygo/whatever it was, for my 86 - and a blast home
