Great pictures @will300!
This meet was one of the reasons I've now signed up here even before having the car!  You were all fantastic to me that evening, even though I didn't own a GT86 at the time (Still technically don't but it's somewhere between Gunma and Swindon now, so close enough ;)).
It was really impressive to see not only the attitude of club members towards an outsider, but also the genuine interest with which Tada-san looked over and discussed each cars modifications. 
For note, he told me that his favourite colour was simply, red.  But I'm not sure he properly understood the question so I'm going to say he's actually on #TeamGrey 
 

Congrats dude and welcome to the club finally! Glad to see that you finally took the plunge after eyeing my car up 😜. Gutted that Toyota didn't do another sports day last year 😭.
The wait is guna be a killer so be sure to browse around, plenty pics and vids to keep you busy, and plenty on YouTube....I spent most of my time watching YouTube videos leading up to my collection but back then, there were only a handful......now there's a hell of a lot of content out there. Looking forward to meeting/catching up sometime!

Just had a call from the dealer ... my car IS an MY17!!! But because of that the old sat nav doesn't fit .. so will get the new one retro fitted late March ...
So now I really should hold out for a 17 plate ... it's only 34 more days .. 34!!!

Great pictures @will300!

Hi Everyone!
As my username would suggest, I'm Lee and I'm from Bristol!
After many years of lusting after the GT86/BRZ, I finally put a deposit down on a 2017 GT86 Pro last Friday, in GT86 Grey, with Fish Bros Toyota in Swindon.  The car should hopefully be with me at the end of March. 
While this will be my first GT86, my first brand new car infact, I have spent a fair amount of time in the car over the last few years.  I have previously been fortunate enough to take the TMG CS-V3 race car up the hill at the Goodwood FoS in 2014.  Competed against and with some of GT86BRZDC members (Keith- with his yellow monster) at the Toyota Sports Day in 2015,  attend the meet with Tada-san, delivering the AE86 to it and finally was lucky enough to be asked to drive both the Castrol and Shelby cars in the recent #Drive film (shameless humblebrag video below!).

I currently drive a 2005 Celica T-Sport (that's the 190bhp version), which I've loved for the last almost 6 years, but the time is right to change it up and finally own, drive and possibly even modify one of my dream cars.
I do have one question.  What are the benefits of Premium Membership (£12.50?)?  Other than the 5bhp from the stickers
I'm looking forward to getting stuck in and involved with the club, and hopefully being the sort of club member that many of you have been to me at events in the past. Warm, friendly, chatty and most of all, game for a laugh!
Cheers
Lee

Welcome to the club Lee 

It'll take a serious amount of time to wear out the Primacy tyres! Like 20K plus miles! Better help them out by taking them on track. What better way to get to know your car? They take the abuse really well, I found.

Ah awesome stuff, yea i wanted to enjoy a standard car for a while before the mods began had mine a year now in march so figured it was time to mod lol 

A minor update, today I fitted some Perrin Cam Solenoid covers & the Intec High Level Brake Light.
Thanks to @James@Amber
 

Welcome along man look forward to seeing what your plans are for it, also is this the same lee thats been chatting to me on my insta pics?

Hi Lee, at last! Well done. I remember you pulling up alongside on the M25 asking if we were going to meet Tada San and then having a good chat with you, when you were there. Bet you can't wait!
What options did you decide to go for? I'm still waiting to drive RRG's new demo, to see what the new car feels like. 

Ross I have spoken to Alex Jaskowski are we are happy to share/help with meets as we are based in Cheltenham and had a chat about possible meets in Bristol/Cotswolds/Malverns/Wales?
From here there are some good routes down through to Abergavenny via Ross on Wye and could meet at the big carpark where the cafe is.
I am going on tour of the Morgan factory fairly soon and I can ask about group booking if anybody would be interested.
