Default New Here, Just Picked Up A 997.2 GT3

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to say hi and share how excited I am to own one of these amazing cars. I just got a (new to me) 2010 GT3 and it hasn't fully sunken in. These cars are outstanding. I traded in a Lotus Elise and while I loved that car, it was a faint memory after my first drive in the GT3.

It had 4200 miles, sport bucket seats, dynamic engine mounts, and the axle lift system. Previous owner installed a roll bar and swapped out the PCCBs for steels.

Looking forward to getting to know local owners and eventually take it to the track and learn better/proper driving technique.

Here are a few pics.... couldn't get the images embedded

Thanks for the nice welcome everyone. Roger that on the ladder, car is actually parked on the other side of the garage now.

Stumbled on a cool location to take pics so I snapped on on my cell phone below.
