Driving your GT3!

[browngt3]

So in response to the values threads, which I think is fair to say everyone's had their fill, here's one dedicated to driving and enjoying your amazing 911 GT3. And let's include all variants.

So to kick things off I would imagine many of us keen drivers will be out enjoying our cars over the weekend so let's hear about it! How many miles did you cover? Did you give Plod the slip? Have you discovered a great new road?

Include anything you like, but please no discussion about values. Plenty of pics too please!

Not on the road but my 5 times lemans 4.0ltr gt3rsr being chased down by the sepang 12 hour winning 3.8 997rsr,only just discovered these photos so a shame not to share.

Great idea about a proper driving thread!

But this is one of my all time favourite photos of a GT3.

Deepest winter and it's undriveable:

I propose a meet of some sorts so we all compare notes in an informal location, and put face to names..Anybody else up for it..?

How about a meeting at Rhug estate's bistro and grill near Corwen, which is right by the infamous Evo Triangle..

Great idea and perhaps could be combined with a track day at Anglesey?

You read my mind..! Let's get this organised..I live in West wales about a 115 miles away which is nothing in the grand scheme of things..
Who else wants to get in on the action please let me know so i can arrange dates and possibly accommodation which suits everyone..

Great, the more the merrier.. Anyone who wants to get involved please PM me as it'll take some organising to get Trac Mon and hotels to coordinate..
I won't let this lie so get in touch so that's everybody's timing is catered for..I'm pretty flexible if that helps...
I really hope that Mr D can join us as i'd love to meet him.

Sounds like an idea. Could be up for that!

Did 20000 miles in 18 months in my 991.1 GT3 in all weather

Sold it before I drove to mongolia now just saving up for the manual version which hopefully I’ll get for my birthday next year. Hopefully out another 20000 miles on that one.

Carrera T will tide me over until then
