New GT3 owner

[porschegeoff]

Hi everyone,

I've just bought a mark 1 GT3 Clubsport in speed yellow and wow what an amazing machine! The styling, the noise from start up to 7800 rpm, and the go kart like handling are an intoxicating mix.

It's just had an annual service by the new OPC in Burgess Hill in Sussex (I think they were previously known as Rivervale and based in Shoreham.

I was wondering who fellow GT3 owners use for servicing. Is it best to stick to the OPC network or are there any decent independant Porsche specialists around.

PS I live in Surrey

I have a 2001 Boxster S (see my profile). I'm a track day junkie, but I sold my E30 M3 track car to fund the Porker which I love as an every day car.
I plan to either get a 996 Turbo in a couple of years (selling the Boxster S) or keep the Boxster and get a 996 GT3 or 993 RS. Like most PH'ers I track the prices of the best cars....especially GT3's.
Thanks for the price details. Always useful.
