Black 997.2 GT3 out & about this morning along Forest Rd & round the diversions behind the airport, anyone on here?

It looked great, I was behind in the CSL.

It'll be worth the wait I'm sure.

Have you seen the 991 GT3 yet, which i think i also going to be black? I haven't but have been told it should have been delivered by now.

I saw a black 991 GT3 on Guernsey plates driving up the Grange about 4-5 months ago, looked stonking.

I believe the one that I'm thinking of was still at Jackson's in Jersey waiting for the fix at that time.

There is a nice new shape Boxster S in our office car park. Was also imported from UK as was on UK plates for a while.

Seems buying from the UK is a bigger trend than I had thought. My first time, but it has not been plain sailing.... Promised August build, September delivery and still has not arrived at Reading....

I note a lady driving a black Boxster S quite vigorously on occasion.

I'm guessing anyone who has dealt with Jackson's enough times would be tempted to try elsewhere.....

I've not seen that particular "S". Will keep an eye out!

Got a feeling that Jackson's bashing could become a trend from both islands on this forum!

Sadly, quite deservedly, but maybe we should take the moral high ground and focus on the positive stuff, like, what are you driving? smile

Excellent.. A Channel Islands forum.

Have seen both the black 997 and 991 GT3's out and about on Guernsey.

I had a 996 C4S but have just swapped it for a 997.1 Turbo it looks black but is actually Atlas Grey.

Give me a wave if you see me around!

Cheers Paul

I certainly shall !! I am less distinctive as the GTS is well overdue. I am hoping to collect it next Saturday, November 1st. Not my interpretation of a Setember delivery....

Best I do not give his name here, but the guy who owns the 997.2 is racing in Porsche Carrera Cup GB next year.

Good choice on the GTS by the way!

You are very kind. I was tempted by the Cayman but felt it wasn't quite a step up from the stunning looks of my old R, and fancied a convertible for a change. Given the amazing write ups, and having tried the S it seemed a good choice. And it was smile

Had I known about the GT4 I would have likely held on as it sounds like a clear step up from the R and with that all important
Fixed rear spoiler ;-)
