Struggling to concentrate at work and started suffering from insomnia. Picking up my first 911 tomorrow evening!! Pics to follow!

@abidr500, hahah I wish it was like that mate.

I've been through pretty much every video on youtube, magazine article possible on the 997.1 gt3. Strange to most of you probably, I didn't even go for a test drive. I find them a bit pointless for myself as I have no experience with this type of car, so have no clue what to look out for. However I did listen to the engine, all sounded great with my novice ears! So I am a real 911 Virgin, knowing tomorrow is the big day

I've gone for the comfort seats. It also has seat belts added to the back, so next on my list is a seat that will fit a 9month old. Any ideas? I told the wife it will carry all 3 of us hahah, fingers crossed.

Ahh thanks guys for the messages and seat tips. I have the maxicosi you have so will give it a go. Although my daughter had nearly outgrown it.

Quick snap of the car. Will take more pics once I get my hands on her!

WOW WOW WOWWWEEEEE
What a car!! What a drive! What an experience!!!!

Am I sad to see the m3 go.... NO!

[Piers84]

Steve I agree for the little experience I have, I am blown away! It's exactly what I am after, loads of character and the feel and noise is insane! Totally hooked!!! 5am drive tomorrow morning is going to ps off the neighbours! Haha

Yes well spotted dopsonj! The old owner of the gt3 is a car mad chap, and really nice guy. He races the rs, it's completely stripped, his collection is amazing.... One day haha

Yeh I plan to get the geo set up in the next couple of weeks. :-)

One thing I am not sure about is the clutch, I'd expect it to be heavy but I get the feeling it might be heavier than normal plus the biting point seems to be just over half way. Not sure if anyone lives in the surbiton area with experience of worn/unworn GT3 clutches? Maybe give an idea or compare vs a different gt3.

Just dropped the beast off last night at a storage facility, miss waking up and walking past it on route to work! What a ride!!

[Piers84]

O it will come back out for the summer once I free up a parking permit by selling the m3

Hey Kingston12, yeh potentially cheaper but a bit of a headache having to scratch 2 of them every day!

Let me know if you fancy an ale in the antelope one evening!
