GT86-Ian

Hi all, it was a great day, thanks again to those that organised it. Really enjoyed the convoy drive through new forest even though it rained.
Great photos.
Ed has made a short video, hope you like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eUJfSUkh-I
 
Looking forward to next event we can make.

Badges look very fine indeed Ian!  Did the old come off easily?

Liking the badges Ian!

That is very nice Ian!  And I've just notice that you've got 2 vents at the top front of your bumper, when and where did you get that done?  Looks awesome, might get that done to mine while I get mine fixed

Happy 86 Day everyone!
 
Here we are standing in front of Tsuchiya-San's N2 TRD AE86 with Kamata-San who runs Tec Arts at 86 Style at Fuji on Sunday.  
 

Flat batteries, Ikaho, Yokota Toy, Doll and Car Museum, 'Mount Akina and the downhill'. Lots of Inital D stuff!    http://laurenblighton.blogspot.jp/2014/08/ikaho-initial-d-downhill-yokota-museum.html

How awesome is this poster, a guy in the USA called Phillip has been collecting decals from clubs around the world over the past month or so and has finally mounted them all to be presented at the 2014 86 Expo Event in Virginia later this week. See if you can spot the Drivers Club

Alloys are an extra 3k Keith.
 
Should of tested Marks supercharger & Adrian's Turbo that's the back to back review we need

Yes the same TRD, fitted with the optional brakes & wheels.

Think I got too much sun today

A chance to stretch our legs at Glen Coe, one of the only bits of dry tarmac today.

Ok James -  Here's a few more pics.  Nice write up by the way.  Good to meet owners old and new today.  13 GT/BRZs plus 1 Celica on the stand - Test Drives Unlimited parked up with the Mazda RX8s, and two Toyota UK cars across from us.  That's 16 at Beaulieu compared with 3 last year.  Excellent!!
 

 

 

 

 
The two Toyota UK cars - interesting to chat about ToyotaUK strategy in relation to the 86, with "men who know".
 

 

Well after going through London thinking it would be quiet every road I had planned to go down was shut I managed to go the wrong way at Southampton coz my sat nav sounds like the wife so I took no notice. Great to meet members I knew and others I did not and although I gave Kristov and lift I did not get sideswiped or rearended result

Was definitely a good day out thanks for everyone that spoke to us no matter the age differant was nice to speak to some other owners and see what things people do to there gt,s

Well what a wonderful day, both in terms of attendance and weather. We had a short spat of rain that I missed due to being elsewhere (more on that later) but soon a very nice bright dry day. Lots of cars and a good turnout overall. To those who went, many thanks for making the effort to come on down, I hope you enjoyed it, it was a pleasure to meet you all!

I rocked up at the White Heart at 7:45 (because you can never be to early) and wasted a little time doing that last minute polling, radio on to keep myself entertained. Around 8:10 the first of us started turning up (In a 14 plate Mercedes to boot) but soon the whole group was assembled. By 9:45 I yelled for us to make a move, only to realise I'd flattened my battery leaving the radio on! Let that be a warning to you! A quick jump start later and a panic about my TapTurn going haywire and I was back to normal.


Photos at The White Horse:

















The others went on without me but it seems they managed to find the place well enough. I quickly made repairs and hurried to join the group. When I rocked up our space was reserved and waiting.

From there on it was a nice day of comparing exhaust notes, radios, colours mods and stories. A great time with a beer and an obligatory ice cream!

But photos are far more interesting that words so here's a selection from the many I took, and indeed Subota Boy took a fair few photos too, no doubt his will pop up shortly.

Lots of other Japanese cars old and new, stock and modified and of course the Beaulieu motor museum itself to explore kept us all entertain for a good 8 hours. We even bumped into Toyota PR team with their two GT86's including the original UK white TRD which did the Goodwood Hill Climb.

A great day overall, even if I now find myself rather red and sunburned (whoops!) Sill, I can't wait for next year!

It was a pleasure to meet you guys today. I didn't realise that the club had a pitch or I am sure we would have come over and said hello ourselves.

Good to see that people are modding the cars too. I did like the supercharger and turbo versions.

Hope to see you all at a future event

Looks awesome Ian!!

New speakers fitted in the door yesterday, sound is so much better, think Toyota must of spent about £2 on the original ones

What happened to the 'maahoooosive' rear wing?
