Default Migrant from the 996GT forum

Hi, I previously frequented the 996GT forum having had a 996.2GT3 CS for the last 8 years. I made the tough decision to move from the amazing 996GT platform to the 997.

I'm now the very proud (and excited) owner of a 2008 997GT3RS in white. It's extremely well set up with plenty of thoughtful additions. Once the dust settles and I get a chance to drive it I'll be able to give a comparison.

Looking forward to this new GT chapter.

you can't just post pics. of the 997. Let's see at least one of the 996!!
Nice pick up though. Looks really clean.
That is my favorite steering wheel. Usually steering wheels don't excite me. That one does.

Nice! Recognise the car & the workshop

I viewed your car when it was for sale last year, even had a little drive - it's on Nitron's now rather than the KW's it was on? The KW's were very noisy when I drove it.

My Cup car is down @ Matt's now, I'm fairly sure I was having a poke around your old black car down there too - looks nice!
