Rubbish 997 GT3!!

[997gt3]

Just thought i'd get your attention - after all there's been quite a few of these kinda topics recently.

Anyway, I collected my baby yesterday from OPC Kendal. I've uploaded some photos to my new fotopic site. I actually took 150 odd photos on the day! I've also got some vids which i will post on You Tube.

The car is as expected - it looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, handles brilliantly.

The route I took was north up the A6 over Shap, then onto Pooley Bridge for food, then south through the Lakes over the Kirkstone Pass and past Windermere, then south on the M6.

I tried to vary my revs in different gears and touched 7000 rpm a couple of times. 2ND GEAR ACCELERATION IS FOOKIN AWESOME!! Its like warp factor 10

Right, i'm off out in it, later people

Thanks for the comments guys. The GT Silver paintwork is truly amazing and really suits the car

Here's a you tube link, the problem is the cameraman couldn't keep up!!

Yes, P & P the OPC in Kendal have been excellant throughout the process. Cannot fault them.

Congratulations, the car looks stunning.

For some reason I was convinced you had ordered one in Riviera Blue !

997GT3 - Congrats! I know you went through some ups and downs during your wait but I'm sure all is right with your world at the mo!

Congratulations - looks fantastic.

And it seems like you've got plenty of great roads on which to enjoy it.

I'm running everything else in gently, the engine should be good for it from the start. I'm imposing a 7000rpm limit (which i've hit twice) until I get to 500 miles!!

Nice enjoy.
