Excellent choice - will sir be venturing south to Le Mans next month? Any track days plans?

Apparently it's a criminal offence to not track a GT3 at least 4 times a year

Sir will be most definitely heading south next month, once again in the company of that esteemed fellow p-her Vario-Rob. In the manner of menstruating women, we both independently sold our midnight blue 993s to buy silver 996 variants within a week of each other.

Tracks will also figure large in Little Silver's life.....

Enjoy Clapham GT3, as regards changing from a 993, I have no regrets moving out of my 993 RS into my GT3 whatsoever, just make sure to buy shares in Shell, Esso, BP.............................

I had the privilege of knowing Alan (only slightly unfortunately) and remember B392 JNT - his Little Silver - well. I understand that his family still have the car at their home in Kent. He was an inspiration to all who met him; a flawed genious if you will. It was he who inspired me to christen the 993 "Little Blue" & it seemed only fitting that the GT3 should become "Little Silver"

And there was silly old me looking for Clapham 993! Or as you shall now be known a ‘The Pistonheader formally known as Clapham 993’ who will be getting bloody hot in 5 weeks time when we clear off to Le Man, the new toy hasn’t got air Conditioning!

I don’t know about you but I’m picturing a car that is more Bridge Over The River Quay than Stuttgart, Amnesty have campaigns about this sort of thing you know

Of course Clapham being ever the manipulative one will be letting his wing man drive the GT3 to Le man if it’s as hot as last year leaving him free to hop aboard my new 450 bhp cup holder to play games on the sat nav whilst admiring the icicle formations around the cabin.

I have a sneaking suspicion the last car he drove without air condition was his late grandmothers DAF66 Variomatic which of course was some bit faster than his new GT3. Backwards.

Blimey, is that right? I didn't realise it was an option - I thought that they all had air con.

And nervy - we did welcome you to the mafia, but in a much more friendly face-to-face kind of way in the real world.

So, how many new GT3 owners is that in the last six months - 8 or so?

Aircon & stereo were both no-cost options in the MK1 Comfort spec cars & I can only assume that Little Silver's 1st owner didn't feel the heat....
