New GT2 owner...!!

[SantaClaus]

It was a big stretch (had to dip into the kid's school fund) but I've just bought a stunning 996 GT2 from 911virgin.com. I know I shouldn't have but its the car I've always wanted.

I've heard these cars are bullet proof - sure hope so cause I'm skint after buying it.

Henry (he's the guy who sold it to me) mentioned the car was unique as it had a racing history - so, does anyone know anything more about this car..??


Sorry... couldn't resist..!!

Hey Santa , you'd want to have a very large red sack indeed to accomodate the balls required to buy that car

I recon you don't want to know what the "unique racing history" is all about...

Well done santa. Be careful though - you will probably be followed by the Florida State police helicopter on most of your trips..........

[tsantos]

Might as well read the thread on this subject from last week!!! 20 pages I think...

CONGRATULATIONS!

[PetrolTed]

Chaps. It's a joke. He hasn't actually bought it.

[cuneus]

"Apart from a big front ender (me not driving) (how do i post photos?) it's done 6 Gumball events (gumball, players run, cannonball) so how could the mileage be 20k?? + it's had 3 years of daily driving too....and precious little servicing. (sorry lads, fix it when it breaks mentality). "

[peppersgonecrazy]

yes..the couldnt resist made me think it was a joke too! it would be quite bizzare if someone on this forum was still unaware of this cars history after last weeks episodes of how to go to prison for a speeding offence

[ballcock]

I knew it was a joke ... Both of us can't have deposits on the same car.

[lynchygt3]

ahh joke silly me

Is it even possible to flog a GT2 to death? They appear to be seriously hard bastards. All this nonsense is making me want a GT2 - alas I doubt I could afford to insure one...

I'm sorry, I thought this site was Pistonheads, for serious enthusiasts of petrol fumes.

The way some people have been wittering on this and other threads it reads like Frimpton-on-Sea's Ladies Knitting Circle tut-tutting.

Have any of you ever done any driver training where if you don't see a spin or two you haven't learnt??

Most posts after Le Mans brag about the speeds reached.... and how many of us take it to (not over) the redline before a change up?? I remember reading recently someone actually went into print on here about loving the noise of the rev limiter fer Keyrist sake!

I think you may also find that a Porsche is just about the best make ever built for this kind of action and this particular car proves it.

So perleeeese. Talk about pot and kettle.... Either get back to your knitting or stop preaching
