What a car! Great to see it used properly and not stuck away as an investment. 
Thanks Graeme… nope…. Was never bought as an investment… I knew at the time 997 GT3 would be a better investment… I adore this thing, blows me away just how good they are. The noise alone is worth every penny!!!!
Lol!!! Was that in morning or evening? Evening was going very gentle!

Evening, @gixermark. I was sitting in the car park as you come down to queue for the ferry. Sound was class bouncing off the shore wall.

That’s likely last run of the year today… superb run around Antrim coast (ish) including Knockagh and cairncastke hill climb run… and a few old rally stages thrown in!!
Great run with a good bunch.
Been a fab year with the big girl, really don’t think I could ever tire of that bloody noise

Haven’t been on the forum much of late… and defo haven’t updated this thread in a while!!!
So, 2023…. Another superb year with the GT3, treated her to a major service at Porsche Belfast in March, had a few runs out through the year…. Track day with the Porsche club Ireland gang in May, Nice jaunt to Blackheath Aug I think… and a massive bucket list trip to the alps in September….
I was driving around the various alpine passes thinking if I won the lottery…. I genuinely can’t think of a car that would be better for the trip. Comfortable to get across, and just beyond epic on the passes themselves.
Track day fun… was great taking a few friends and family members out for a spin to appreciate what these fabulous cars are capable of on track…. I started to learn more about the car on this visit, I only do 4-5 laps at a time to save cooking tyres, and it’s just generally much easier in the car… brakes etc than hammering around for long sessions.
And a few from the alps.
Just extended the warranty for another 3 years last week…. Absolutely no plans to change it anytime soon!
Most likely will get wheels done he satin Porsche gold next year (think it’s Aurum?) and will wrap them in fresh Michelin PS4S too…
Just nudged 12k miles after the alps trip (2459 miles) so 9k miles done in my ownership, and can say I have genuinely adored every single one of them.
The lust for this fantastic machine has not dwindled in the slightest!!!

Apparently it’s being done up to re open again….. would be awesome, it’s such a place…. That and Stelvio definitely the highlights…
The classic view from top of Stelvio is like nothing else!!!

All this love your GT3 and you've got me to thank for convincing you to buy the best car I'd ever driven.
Could even be better than an Elise

There are absolutely every kind of vehicle on the alps, it’s not about max speed in anyway… but the views/scenery and just sucking the atmosphere - worth it in anything.

You haven’t mentioned that before
to be fair, you got to test drive one….. I didn’t even get to open the door on this when I bought it 
good old Covid. You know I also love the Elise/exige platform… and I would love to drive either on the alpine passes, but it would absolutely kill me driving it there and back…. I did say to the guys if you could rent one within a day of the alps it would be worth doing!
