It was called avocado. I know because I still have it 🙈

Porsche 911 GT3 Touring in PTS Nato Olive with PDK

Could have done with something a bit different on the interior - very bland compared to the exterior.

Yes, I was there that day at the event.

So Ed and Chris Harris (mates and business partners) both getting rid of their 992 GT3 Tourings.

TBF to the US 'Tuber, it looks like it was some pillock in a big pick that wrote it off for him - clip is in the start of the video.

Actually quite an amusing watch. You just have to get round some of the 'hype' they have to do for these videos to rank and it's an interesting story.

Of the original crash nothing would surprise me if it had been purposely staged and crashed to boost viewing figures and likes.

Well the guy had his other half in the car with him, on the corner/side that was hit and the impact was sufficient to set of every single airbag. I would very much doubt, given those facts, that even the most click-crazed YouTuber would risk that for publicity.

Had a very successful afternoon today at Center Gravity as they sorted out the bumpy B road manners on my 992 GT3. Lots of chatter about the 992’s not being as good a road car as the 991.2. I can see how some might think this as the 992 is very “set up” sensitive. Mine has been fettled and is now, to me, just perfect - agile & very GT3 like, but it’s lost it’s overly firm / harsh skittish behaviour that was apparent on really poor road surfaces - cock on now on these types of roads & as nice in every way when compared to my 991.2 GT3. Big shout out to CG - I would highly recommend them to sort out your GT3’s if you have one that does this and it bothers you. Hope this helps smile

Cool colour, is that Amethyst..?

Out of curiosity, what geometry changes did they do, only toe and camber on the front axle..?

The side stripe detail is pure filth. Beautifully subtle.

Love your car - I would have gone for black calipers, but apart from that it looks perfect to me
