No Applecross? You missed a trick! 
epic drive tho. I did similar on the bike a couple of years ago. Will need to do it again once the Mazda's back on the road
Yep did it, not really a driving road though, stunning scenery but alot of hype.epic drive tho. I did similar on the bike a couple of years ago. Will need to do it again once the Mazda's back on the road
If it was two lane, I'd definitely make more of it, but as it is, just a good picture and not much else (lunch at the inn was good though).

JB, do you work on the right hand side of Silbury Avenue (if your back is facing the station)? I see a blue BRZ parked there most days. I work on the other side.
I'm always tempted to park my ginger GT86 next to it, but the free staff parking is too good to pass up on.
Back to the station I work LH side of the city, on the old Hockey site. I'm always tempted to park my ginger GT86 next to it, but the free staff parking is too good to pass up on.
if you do social media, JDMK lads are decent and the Driver's club seems friendly enough, would be good to find fellow "twins" owners in MK.

Ahh, well you're not the only Blue BRZ owner in MK then - I assume you wouldn't pass up on the free staff parking your end either if you do social media, JDMK lads are decent and the Driver's club seems friendly enough, would be good to find fellow "twins" owners in MK.
I'll check it out on Facebook - I don't live in MK, I only work there but if it's a good community I'm interested.

Nice, love the blue. Hope it's reliable for you... heard some horror stories on various forums including this one
Seen only one or two terminal issues, so out of thousands of units, I'm not too worried, you only see the cars with issues in tech sections of forums, nobody posts to say "my car is mint" 
Worst case it will get a forged bottom end or engine swapped, the chassis is ace and rear lights aside, i like the styling.

Should have to meet up, another MK'er here, may have seen my Touring ( http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... ) About, though be good to do a PH meetup with all the MK peoples
Update time!
Really enjoying the car with the extra grip of the Rainsports.
My upgraded pads have finished off my standard used front discs, so ordered some StopTech discs.
Also bought an FT86SpeedFactory Flasher/Indicator programmable relay, as the lack of lane-change 3 flash was doing my head in!!!!
May have also bought some KW V3s as well...

KW Coilovers and Superpro rear lower arms and toe arms on!
With a proper alignment, the car is on rails! Very pleased!
I also took it round Wales for 4 days!
Black Mountain pass:
My hotel for the first night:
Some awesome metal in the carpark!:
Day 2, Rhyader mountain pass:
And elsewhere:
Stayed in Portmeirion:
Also went into Caernarfon that night:
Day 3 Snowdonia and Denbeigh:
And day 4 I didn't grab many pictures at all.
...but I did collect a Perrin stainless 3" cat back

I just had to scroll up. I didn't realise they were 17" wheels! Looks really good on them.
I would probably have winter wheels for a car like this. I've seen the snowy struggles of the RWD brigade
Any idea what wheels your after?

Looking much better now Alex! Reckon 18's will fill the arches a tad more. Still far too much of a gap! Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
