Anyone with a 996 GT3 around Glasgow?

Hi folks,

Potential next car for me but I've never really got close to one and would love to see / hear one up close so I know if it's definitely for me.

Cheers,
Chris

There are at least 2 that I know of. One red and one blue.

Do you mean RS?

I think they have halted production due to several cars catching fire, I will try and find the article

Aye the two we seen at Calderglen park. Sorry, I see what you mean now........both are white, one with blue and one with red graphics.

OP is it a RS you are looking for or a 996 GT3 as in your original post .I know all 4 owners of the RS 's around Glasgow but i think the only one on the road due to the winter elements is the blue one .If it is i can put you in touch he stays in Lanarkshire .

Just buy one. You won't regret it. Even if you do (which you won't! ) you won't lose money selling it on as they're certainly not depreciating

Non RS, "just" a 996 GT3, preferably gen 2.

Clarky, that's plan B :-)

[chris_c201]

Anyone?

Try PCGB Region but I don't know of any local owners.

If you're ever up near Aberdeen way from April onwards then I can show you mine (ooh er) if you want

Might be worth posting in the Porsche section of PH too as there's a couple of Glasgow GT3 owners that post semi-regularly on there.

Clark - Not sure if i should thank you for the offer or be terrified!? ;-)

Have tried posting up in the Porsche sub-forum so hopefully will get something from that...

Cheers,
