Good to see people enjoying their cars. Will come back to threads like this if I ever start thinking about values. Or perhaps just read any of Mooty's posts. Usually good for a laugh and encouragement to get out and drive.

I managed about 1200 in the first two days as I had to get back to South Florida from Houston. A fun couple of days.

Here's a few from the Blue Ridge Parkway over the last few days. Weather didn't behave some of the time. Still a fun drive. Thanks for the recommendation bogey1. Stayed north so didn't do the Tail.

Heading to Nashville for the weekend and then no idea where to from Monday onwards. Probably don't want to head too much further west as I will need to return to Florida at some point. Kind of putting off planning the travel for the rest of the year by just cruising around. Perhaps drop back through southeast TN, southwest NC and northern GA. Any other suggestions?

993 won't be ready until early September anyway. Ideal plan is to get back to Florida to swap into the 993 and then head west. Will be going back to Australia to resume that trip and may as well drive as far as I can and then store the car on the west coast for a while. Just one of the 20 or so possible scenarios.

Truly great cars, we have several customers well into the 70-90k range that see both road and track use.

With a GT3 /RS you truly can have your cake and eat it too!!

Love the pic of your car with the mountains in the background. I just got my 07 and put 1000 miles on it int the 1st week driving the back roads of WI and IL before 400 miles at Road America. I am so glad to hear about cars with 50k+ miles. It means mine is barely broken in at 31K!
cheers and keep piling on those miles everyone.

40K on mine as well. Trouble-free aside from needing a starter rebuild a few months ago.

For those of you who have 40k plus miles with a good amount of track mileage would you mind sharing your suspension alignment specs? Specifically from guys who do not trailer to events.

Back in South Florida yesterday for a total of 3221 miles over 23 days. Highlights included the Blue Ridge Parkway and following an orange GT3 RS around some good roads south west of Nashville for 150 miles. Thanks Brendan!

Photo of the end of the car for the end of the road trip.
