The 86/BRZ Club is super excited to be holding a Cars and Coffee style event to celebrate the launch of the new BRZ with City Subaru. We have been working behind the scenes for months to get this event off the ground. To say we are pumped for this is an understatement. Highlights of the day will be: Test Drives of the new BRZ! Yes that is correct - you will be able to go for a quick spin in the new 2022 BRZ. There are a few T&Cs that will apply on the day, the main one being only open licenced drivers can take the car for a test drive. Sorry NO P-PLATERS. The new BRZ is a classed as “performance vehicle” (2.4L engine!). Show and Shine We have the opportunity to display in 20 member cars in the forecourt area of the Dealership.  If you would like to nominate to show your car please grab ticket below (free!). You will need to arrive at 9.30am and be at the event until 1pm when we wrap up. All 86s and BRZs welcome – modified or stock ok! We will review all requests and confirm with you prior to the event if you have been chosen to display your car at the front of the dealership. City Subaru will also have a number of 2022 BRZ customer cars to view (no test drives) pending delivery. One of our newest members and City Subaru Business Manager, Caleb Prescott, will have his slick new ride on show too. Charity Raffle: We will be holding a raffle for some super-rare Subaru STI Merch and Club packs to give away. All proceeds going to Beyond Blue. Catering: We’ve got you covered with a coffee van, sweet treats and wraps. Gluten free and vegetarian options included. A big thanks to Caleb and the team at City Subaru who are hosting this event in their own time to support our club (and of course their awesome new car)
