Test drive lined up at Silverstone for RS.2
I’m invited to drive the GT3RS.2 this Monday. As somebody who is currently in denial, will this brief encounter spark my interest again, or enforce the notion that a 997 RS.1 is good enough?
An automotive Menage a Trois
The wettest track day ever, combined with a rear engined, rear wheel drive car on Michelin Pilot Sport Cups = many 50 pence, 5 pence moments. Still doesn’t detract from the sheer awesomeness of the GT3RS.
As I am hugged by a GT3 carbon bucket, I relax in relief
The Green RS springs on me familiar feelings of comfort through competence and excellence.
LOL good one England, nice joke.
Snow owns the shit out of me.
Porsche GT3RS.2 Preview Event at Silverstone
Porsche officially launch the new GT3 RS in the UK. Screw the recession, this I gotta get.
Argh, Porsche, you break my heart.
I’ve been running around like a headless chicken, jumping from car to car, all in good faith, mind. However, I end up a loner as Porsche do a dirty on me.
Focus RS on track, 100% for effort
As the Focus RS rips its own backside to shreds in a valiant demonstration of capability and merit, a dawning realisation is thrust upon me.

First day on track – Snetterton
Another super duper day at the wonderful Snetterton, this time in the new GT3. “What are the differences?”, I hear you all ask in a chorus of poetic voice.
Actually wait…this thing is mental
Further exposure gives the GT3 more time to shine as I explore some of its further territories, closing in on limits as much as one can on the road. In the name of educating others, of course.
170 miles later in the red GT3
So now I gotta call the car ‘red’ to differentiate between the new and old GT3. Don’t think of it as a name. Anyone who names their car needs mental help. They suck.
And it’s landed….
First picture of the new GT3 arrives bathed in the sexiest clothes possible for a car.
Frankfurt Motorshow (Read: I travelled 2000 miles to see the new GT3 RS)
Frankfurt motorshow launches the new Porsche GT3 RS, I need no further excuse to pop over.
RS deliberations
Porsche responsible for causing mass confusion and hysteria (but seriously, how hot does this look?)
A quick video of my final GT3 huzzah
A great little go-kart track allows us a bit of farewell drifting in the GT3.
GT3 for Sale (yeah yeah, the herald angels sing) EDIT – SOLD, 180709
After two and a half years of awesome love / love relationships, I have put the car up for sale. Time has flown with this car, but imminent arrival of the new car means this must go. Good price too.

Have you ever polished a juggernaught?
Washing the Q7 was a mammoth task but the results were amazing.

Another percentage found at Silverstone
Chasing zen and the ultimate driving accolade, the GT3 brings me closer to my spiritual place of content whilst at Silverstone.
[EDIT] Videos added.
What the christ does a trackday cost?
I remember selling my Skyline GTR to buy the Porsche because it was cheaper to run, more economical and cost less to own! Ah bitter sweet irony.
Porsche in “This shit just got real” GT3 tickler
As details of the new GT3 Mk2 are released globally, Blow Dog suffers cerebral apoplexy as a result of uncontrollable muscle reflexes and child like whooping noises. Timing is a mass conflict of yes and no as it’s a perfect opportunity to upgrade, but then the world has gone to shit.
New GT3 pictures surface – I want my mommy
So it’s been over 2 years since the launch of the current model 997GT3. I’ve owned this car for the same time, having bought this car from new and yadda yadda yadda, you know the rest. But with these images released and talk of product details launching end of this month, my mouth salivates with [...]
Escort RS Turbo
Cancelled the order for the GT3 for two reasons. 1st, I got fed up waiting. Supposed to be a March delivery and, well, we’re just into May. 2nd, I bought something else. I’m very excited about it but reluctant to mention anything until the keys are in my hand.
