yesterday i headed down to wakefield park to track day the vortex and as i was unloading n what should come around the corner n park in one of the carports i rush ova n as i suspected the new not yet released toyota 86 , i had a good chat to the driver n it was for a motor magazine review, later on a few other cars turned up they were also testing. a subaru sti, pussy deflector mx5, a new vaulkswagon golf lookin thing. got to have a good look over the 86 n it was very impressive, heaps of track thought went into it such has reversable headrests to make room for ur helmet, tow points, enough room to fit 4 rims interestingly as i belive both cars are built at subaru the quarter panels had subaru stamped in it and the plastic cover on the engine had subaru and toyota on it. the highlight of the day was when on the race track i look in my mirror n i got it on my tail. the 25yrold rwd version was still quicker thanks to the snail. even with my horrable street tyres and water running across the track at some corners due to heavy rain previously.

i managed to get some snap shots of the beasts together unfortinatly i didnt take my camera with me as i went down by myself, so had to use my crapy camera phone, prob a good thing as the 86 was heaps dirty from the abuse motor mag guys were giving it.

enjoy. will update my build thread soon.
