Default My new to me 6 GT3...

This is my 3rd 6 GT3. i cant get enough i guess, or maybe i should stop selling them!

This car is all business, track only stripper, I bought it from rennlist member ArcticGT3 based on mooty's referral.... Small rennlist world. ArcticGT3 did an AMAZING job of setting her up. exactly how i wouldve done it.

So I drove from wa state down to nor cal this past weekend and picked up my new TPD trailer, met the rennlist guys, loaded up this bad *** GT3, and drove back home just in time for sat night family dinner... what a crazy weekend.

- thur afternoon: left Seattle

- thur eve: arrived in willows ca near thunderhill, checked in to this motel 6 (looks sketchy from the outside, right??? well take a look at the inside!)




- fri morning: arrived at TPD in Sacramento and finally took delivery of my new trailer!






- fri evening: arrived in sf bay area and met the boys: mooty, ArcticGT3, and 996FLT6, we loaded my new gt3 straight into my brand new TPD, then had dinner where i witnessed mooty navigate his monster 3500 dually truck thru places it should not be allowed LOL!

here is mooty lining it up for me to drive in to the trailer


stripper inside for the first time



- fri night: left mooty's house and drove all night back home

- sat afternoon: arrived at my house just in time to clean up and be ready for fam dinner (wife was happy)

here she is next to my E36 M3 track car, yea she's a stripper too (excuse the very messy garage)


now up on the lift


mooty, ArcticGT3, and 996FLT6: it was awesome meeting you guys! i couldnt have asked for a better/smoother transaction on all fronts. i hope to see you guys at ORP for the PT days, and thunderhill very soon!

sounds like you had a very "good" weekend. Love the 6.gt3, the trailer, the picture.. everything.

BTW, the scissor lift.. who make that? Thinking about getting one.

it was my pleasure meeting everyone and giving stripper one last bath.
but what intrigued me the most is the bed at motel 6.
it's very big and has three pillows...... where were the strippers?

Absolutely gorgeous example and I'm not even a fan of silver

Can't wait to hear your driving impressions from track days this summer.

ex10psi, I am so glad you accepted to take on the responsibility of keeping her happy and running strong! I have a good feeling about it :-)
It was a pleasure to do the transaction with you. No doubt the car would not look as good if it was not for the extended stay at mooty's Spa, and the care and attention it received at SP Motorsports. If that's all right with you, I will keep her as my avatar. It's the attachment, you know! Enjoy safely, and post your adventures.

Nice GT3 and trailer. However, I'm most impressed with the Motel 6.
