Just saw a newly delivered 997 turbo at Cambridge OPC when I was collecting my car from service. Some sort of non-descript metallic blue made my midnight blue 996 look fabulous. However, generally loved the look of it in the flesh.

But while I was talking to the service guy and about to leave in my car, a fantastic guards red GT3 came by on the way to the front display. I can't believe how much crisper that engine sounds than the turbo, it was just barking out. Suddenly I went all "I want a GT3"

Although getting into the turbo I forgot about it

The GT3 was a s/h 996 for sale, not a 997 BTW.

I don't think it was lapis. It was quite light, cobalt sounds right. It was in the sunshine and I guess not prepped because it was all covered up with stickers and the like. Probably look alright when it's polished up.
