This car is back for sale at Pargaon (for the third time) but has 3k more miles and is £7k more expensive. Credit crunch, what credit crunch?!

I'm pretty sure I saw this car in this month's Porsche Post in the Northern Irish regional report. Either that or there's another car that looks very similar...

I nearly bought this car, the last time it was for sale at Paragon.. but instead opted for a 996GT2.

This time, it was a no-brainer!

Colour is def Maritime blue, it is much deeper and richer in the flesh.. the pictures give it a washed out look.

Price is high, but I paid it. Colour and condition were the prime factors, for me.

Hi Jonny, will register once I've got the car and know all the details.. although will struggle to read the code for log-in!

My GT2 was setup for trackwork, and was very accomplished. I had suspension, brakes, rose joints all done + minor engine tweak (map and exhaust)

Have been racing a 997 cup car in the UK as well.

Pics.. + my 997 RS at the Ring!

Congratulations Rob! Great pictures. That's a fine car added to an already pretty special stable! Let us know how it compares with your other cars. Is this a keeper for you then?

GT2 and RS are both gone. Also selling cup car, as I fancy racing a Radical SR3 in the UK Radical cup.

I had always wanted a 3.6 Turbo, but could not afford one back in '93.
I will have to learn to drive it, as it is so different from modern stuff.. will be taking it to the 'Ring in early sept, should be fun!
