First post here on PH as I am new to the site. Just wanted to say how delighted I have been with Tom at 911Virgin for fabulous service and a wonderful car. I am having it delivered in the next few days and extremely excited.

I will shortly be the proud owner of the 996 GT3 which was previously owned by PH member fattrader. Having seen his exploits with the car I couldn't resist. Let's hope I have as much fun.

Thanks again Tom!

what a strange first post, bordering on advertising!

Eugh that company irritates me.

"We don`t judge our customers when they walk through the door. Fear not if you don`t happen to be wearing your best Armani suit we sell plenty of cars to men and women wearing jeans and a T-shirt."


Website is completely cringeworthy.

Not advertising, but seen mixed reviews about them so thought I would give feedback on my experience

Agree the website is tongue in cheek!

Just seen another post on readers cars called "PH made me do it" about someone else buying a 996, and I am in the same boat, been dreaming of a GT3 for 10 years and the recent "spotted" pushed me over the line.

Looking forward to the GT3 joining my little "fleet"

Just need a 205GTI as well now and my dream garage is full !

@andberg, my apologies :-)

I meant to say it's a bit small, even for me :-)

Hence the need for a 911, that well known "size enhancer" smile

No, leaving it in the uk, I come home regularly so I can use it once the weather has brightened up a bit

I would love it over here, but with 60mph speed limit everywhere, speed cameras every 500 metres and drivers who don't have a clue, it would just be a waste

The cars here are amazing, we have so many mclarens, ferraris, lambos etc it's unbelievable, and totally pointless.

Plan is to do a few trackdays this year as time allows, no intention to ruin it but enjoying it on a track is what it's for.
