It’s like anything, the dream of owning something is usually through rose tinted glasses.

But it has defo sunk in for me, I’ve always aspired to own one and just feels awesome to have it!

Cracked out my new DA to bring some shine to the paint! Came up very well.

What's the story with removing the centre locks, Keith? Don't they need crazy torque to put back on?

I did, however with the age of these now you have to either use cash or HP. And a good GT3 was another 10-15k, just a little too far at this point.

Plus should we grow the family, i’ll Welcome the rear seats of the 911.

On the road, it’s just a much more useable car too. Super comfortable and incredibly fast.

got it....... i agree on the back seats... i always figured a GTx is a very expensive car to only be able to take +1 whereas the turbos etc are that bit more flexible - for the family wk end duties etc.. GTx is also a lot of $$ to track.. but that's likely where they come into their own.

Plan is to make it perfect. So it’s booked in with AG to tidy the paint (stone chips on bumpers etc). I have a new front splitter for it and GTS/GT2RS skirts.

Once I’m happy, I’ll use it daily where possible but park it over winter. I have a 5 mile commute so will probably use it most days.

Going to the ring in August, but I probably won’t track it, i’ll Hire a swift or something!
