Default Photos of my recently purchased GT3

Hi all
heres a few pics of my recently purchased 2004 GT3
I am in Australia, so the wheels on the wrong side and it has low km's instead of low miles (27,000km)

The shots are a mix of some I took, and some taken by Dave who does quite a few photoshoots around Adelaide which can be seen on his site, epicimages

The car looks great! Prior to getting a 996 GT3, I wasn't keen on the headlights, but now I really like the complete design, including the headlights. Do you have any idea how many GT3's of your vintage were sold in Australia, I would have thought it might be a low number.

I don't even want to think about how much it cost you to buy one in Australia. One of the reasons I'm dreading if I have to move there.

Great photos btw! Is your rig clamped to the rear spoiler or suction cupped to the rear windshield? Can't tell from the pic.

its not my rig, but it is suction cups

they are fancy cups that have these little valves on them you pump to achieve better suction
the clamps are then adjustable in all kinds of ways, and the pole itself is made of carbon fibre

as for price, over $100k in USD, indeed cars are very expensive here

Very jealous mate, especially as another Adelaidian currently on the hunt for a 996 GT3! Silver is the best colour for these, hands down. Was this the car being sold by David Light out of curiosity? Touring model originally with the clubsport seats and cage fitted aftermarket?

Hope to see the car on the streets sometime soon!
