Yeah - welcome back!

Maybe this needs cross posting into the Porsche forum as there are quite a few CGT owners on there now?

My all-time favourite car and I salute you for owning one. I didn't know anyone on PH had one.

There are at least 4 or 5 PHers I can think of that have / had one including this post!

Blast from the past!!

Master H, do you park some of the cars in a private carpark in SW London?

I think we might use the same garage.

You've been here longer than me!

[Rude-boy]

4 or 5 is conservative I'd say as that would only account for those who have actively stated their purchase. There are at least the same again who would apparently have the means and have posted in terms soas to suggest ownership of one!

8k for a new clutch on a CGT , thats a bargain surelly . Theres a LHD Gembala parked in my block , it does look good in a revolting sort of way . However , I can hear it from my flat at iddle

Have you been blating down the A14 the past couple of weekends? Can't be many black Carrea GT's about.

Sounded great if it was you.

The 8k quoted was for the front lifting system I believe not the clutch. The standard clutch costs something like 13k to replace with labour, which is a lot, but they are supposed to last a decent number of miles when not abused.

Best car ever? Possibly, but its down to personal preference as to the CGT or the McLaren F1. For me the McLaren definitely looks better.

As to which is a better drive, doubt I'll ever be lucky enough to find out. Can but dream though!

[Muzzer]

Lovely.

Got any pics of the Charger? I seem to remember you were having it painted the last time you visited here

the clutch , lifters and exhaust were all done at same time so you may be right . alot of money but really worth it

Nice... I'm trying to convince the wife it's a good long-term investment.

That Arab car.... it's... what's the word I'm looking for?? Oh yes, that's it. LOUD!

Seem to recall you've owned an F40 in the past (or possibly one of your erm, colleagues), what are modern hypercars like the CGT like compared to the F40?

yeah it was me and i wish i still had it . great car , one of the most exciting to drive . i generally dont like turbo power and the f40 delivers all of it in one go so you have to respect it .i sold it to a friend and a month later he wrote it off . f40 is raw , brakes dont match the cgt of course , the build on the cgt is amazing different level , like the f1.
the f40 was in a way last of that breed , i like those type of cars u can smell the petrol and oil. the 73 carrera rs rep i have is a great car , raw and basic

Master H, did you get to play out at the Porsche Experience Centre Silverstone in yours? The facilities there are a blast...
