I must go on a tour of Wales in the spring - sounds like a plan!!

I’d be up for this if it was open to others. Could tie it in with an Anglesey day too.

ps. Very happy I fitted ps4s for these conditions.

Yep it would have been even better on PS4s...Probably won't bother this winter however if the forecast is poor for the RS day in March i'll probably fit them then.

Sounds the same when going but quieter on start up I would say, however I am running in so limited on revs at the mo! No full beans for me but will report back in due course

That sounds epic, perfect roads, perfect car.

Afraid not.

I live within 30 mins and the new breed are way too big and fast to enjoy on these tight twisties, compared to a sorted air-cooled or Caterham.

Same road, wished I was driving the one in front.

The new RS does feel big compared to the old 911s or Caterhams because it is, however it feels really planted and very light on its feet compared to the 992 i owned..It was foggy right on top last Saturday but even so that hairpin in your video at 1' 28 is a very safe perfect place to drift around it..Amazing road and i only saw two cars when i drove it both ways..

It's quite open on the section of road in the video so you can cut corners a bit (and hide the weight).

The approach to that point from Llangadog is tree-lined and in some ways offers a more interesting drive. It is quite busy as there are variety of corners and cambers, and feeling the weight constantly moving around and settle is one of the joys of the 911. But it's also here that it is shown up against lighter, more nimble stuff. I personally prefer this road in the Exige than the GT3.

Agree, that Llangadog section is far better, beautifully flowing, superb sections all way through. I just don't see these roads as GT3 though, and would take exige etc, all day.

Some guys are hillclimbing the cars now with reasonable success,the one thing they have over the early cars is mech grip by the bucket load.
Looks like the gt3 auto was struggling to keep up;)

I went with Topaz Bristol in the end after some haggling..Only did the bumper, bonnet and mirrors as i thought doing the whole car was too much money..However i might do the rest of the car this year depending on how i feel like..

what was the price, just been quoted £700 for the same which I would think Topaz would be more.

Apparently a Gen2 WP car without GPF

Surely, if that was the case it would not pass type approval?

That amount of wrap is normally about £1,200 + VAT with Xpel: https://www.staffordshirecarcare.co.uk/ppf---paint...

Which is what I paid Invisifilm back in 2017 (Staffordshire Car care weren't doing it back then, otherwise I'd have saved a trip), so price hasn't altered. Personally, I'd always want decent film done by someone I'd trust.

£1.5k is crazy for bumper and bonnet.

I trust the person who I asked for a quote prob one of the best fitters in the UK, just not as well know atm, but been doing hi end cars of late and Speedsters.
ALso mods the xpel template to wrap edges better, not many mod the templates. hence when I had my bumper on the GT4 done it was naff as another place. I have seen very poor £5k jobs done. hence I tend not to bother but as I am doing a few track days this year thought about the bumper and bonnet.
