So, whatever the current car is worth and persuading Mrs. James-T that we have no need for back seats. Easy...

The colour looks like dark primer battleship grey....

You need to use some good man maths.

Best of luck... Although you do seem to have made the fundamental mistake of asking rather than doing ;-)

Porsche Bolton played the dirty trick of placing my (now) Spyder between me and the door when my 911 was in for a service, it's so unfair!

Nice.

First time I have ever seen the RS grey on the standard GT3. Looks fab.

I got to the stage where I was trying desperately to look uninterested and accidentally wee'd myself frown

You know, the only reason I don't have a gt3 is my sensible outlook and sense of priority. Hell, most people think my 993 is stupid.

But, I would and do say to anyone that if you can stretch to it and it's what you want. Go do it. But only if its for the right reasons.

Lol. What would the wrong reasons possibly be!?

Great post by the way.

Yes, but not at any cost. Life is about priorities and getting them in the right order is some challenge.

I reckon you know. Status, vanity, peer pressure etc.

I truly believe that most people waste time chasing the wrong dream.

Great colour. Don't wait for the next example as you know there won't be one! If it's what you really want and you can afford it, enjoy it. Loved every second of owning mine and it's a keeper for sure.

After I sold my Porsche a few weeks ago, I agreed with my wife that I would be more sensible about cars (she really did not like the last Porsche I had), I ended up part exchanging her old BMW for a 2 years old Lexus Hybrid and that did the trick, I can now buy another Porsche and be even less sensible (within budget obviously). The problem is I do not know what to buy.

Totally agree !

Since driving a Gen II GT3 on the GT course at PEC, have wanted one badly !! From all the cars I have ever had the pleasure of owning / driving ( driving includes some good ones like 997 GT2, 991C2S, 981S, Cayman 2.9 wink etc) was just most feel some, pointy, amazing sounding vehicle I have ever been in. In my opinion, simply the best Pork ever !

But, my Turbo is paid for and although no GT3, makes me smile and is fabulous for the type of road I like to drive it on ( like Settle to Hawes via Horton in Ribblesdale cool). So although I would love a GT3, choose not to buy one simply because my sensible head takes over (as I'm not wealthy so would have to take finance to buy one). One day though.....

Anyone who has the dosh and opportunity should buy one IMO !!!

Definitively another Porsche... I would suggest a 981 or 981S... or the 987 Spyder or CR if you have to be completely insensible... if that is above the limit, then a 987.2 Boxster or Cayman. Or a well cared for 997.2 (any submodel).
