^^^ I get nauseous just thinking about all the time I’d have to spend cleaning those beautiful wheels.

I've owned a few pair of BBS LMs and they aren't bad when compared to another set of BBS wheels, the RS or super RS. One would take me 15 minutes, RSs would take me hours.

Thursday evening before the Werks Reunion on Amelia Island. The yellow cab belongs to Carlvs, my silver coupe in the center, not sure who owns the Cayman.

Thanks!
I was selling my Aston Martin V8 Vantage and got offered this car as part of the deal. I've always read amazing things about GT3s, so my curiosity made me do it.
Was actually planning to buy a 991 C2S for some more comfort compared to the old Aston Martin, I guess that didn't work out!
The car has an exhaust mod with a switchable valve, and black painted rims. Other than that it's bone stock, including it's Nomex covered race seats. Just the fire extinguisher is missing.

My plan is to drive it for the summer, and then maybe sell it for a "proper" car that doesn't have race seats, a roll cage and that doesn't scrape the floor on every bump. But the more I drive it, the less I feel like selling it !

ohh ouch! I would talk to a paintless dent removal guy first. It is amazing what they can do. I banged my air compressor into that same fender (years ago). It left a pretty good dent and my heart sank. PDR guy got on it and it looks perfect. You would never be able to tell I did that moronic move.

Oooh ...

That's awful.

The fender a dent repair guy could do, but the door is another matter.
