GT3 out for a drive

[Bieldside]

I have no idea why but my 991 GT3 had been tucked up since January
Not used
Not sure why - lazy??
Anyway out she came last night and up to Cambridge today from Twickenham
I had forgotten how much I love the car
Feel ashamed that I don't drive it more
I will now

[Xyphox]

Well done.

[throt]

The longest I have gone is 2 weeks without driving mine.

How many miles on the clock on yours, Bield..?..

[red997]

longest I've gone is 6 weeks..
whilst a new engine was being fitted

Err ....because it's on Cup sport 2's and you'd kill yourself on the cold/wet roads.

Ok not as good as a proper road tyre but Cup 2 are fine in the wet/cold, certainly a big step up from original cups.

Ive only done 150 miles in my 997 RS since August last year. (and part of that was taking it for a service) Really need to sort that out.

Too many people keeping their GT3's wrapped up in the hope of financial gain rather than using them as they were meant.

You're a long time dead, get out and drive them.

Rather presumptious, I would suggest.

Many GT3s are owned by people with other interesting cars to drive.....one of the many reasons why mileages are often very low.

Fair point, but still a shame the're not used more often.

4400 buddy. She sure has got louder too ....

I've driven just over 4000 in two years
No intention of selling it so not sure why I don't use it more
Not a London car so that's part of it
Hoping to get a chance for the GT2RS as then I'd change but what else is there
Having a new 4S as a demo in two weeks time - that'll be interesting

Gordon, long time. You could pop up to Yorkshire and come for a run out on a Sunday at dawn if it's properly run in

Hi
Indeed long time - all ok I trust
Odd why I don't use it
Just stunning
Maybe the gap will make me use it more
What you got to drive now ??
