New GT3 - thanks to all who advised

[AlexHancock]

Picked up my new (to me) GT3 Mk 2 - very happy.

A big thank you to all who gave advice/opinions.

It really feels like a German made TVR - fast, basic but solid with loads of character.

Looking forward to a trip to France in May and one to Italy (via the 'ring) in August.

Cheers

No, just the spaces between the brackets and the start and end of the URL.

However, they look like pretty big files; you might want to reduce them in size to be kind to those on dial-up connections.

bloody lovely Alex, congratulations.

[elms]

Looks great...whos is the MV?

[AlexHancock]

Thanks Craig.

Sorry, mine as well. But I did sell my other bike (VTX1800) to help pay for the GT3. The MV is a keeper and I'm hoping to add a Brutale next year.

Congratulations to you, they are really great cars, mine's a red cs.......you mentioned Italy via N-ring in August. This sounds very interesting. Planning to do something similar myself this summer and also doing LM.
Happy motoring

My most wanted car of the moment.

You fortunate fecker!


(Didnt want to say lucky b'stard since there is likely to be more than just luck involved!)

I haven't had much time behind the wheel yet - but a quick run from London to Guildford this morning gave me a taste of what's to come. Very involving drive and a bit scary until I'm sure of it's capabilties. At 100+ it seemed to move a long way when unsettled by a bump but I'm hoping that when I understand it better I'll trust it more. Some time on a track will help a lot and I'm going to look for a day where I can drive their GT3 - anyone know of one?

I doubt any trip will be boring.

You can drive a GT3 Mk2 on track through CPA - www.coulsonpritchard.com/trackdays.asp

I have

Say I sent you and they may even throw in a free packet of Rolos. Speak to Paul...

Cheers

Some of us care about our license Melv, going fast on the A3 to Guilford landed me 4 points! over 100 is a big B.

By the way, what's MERKIN???????????????. You can tell me all about it tomorrow.
