Cool Just saw my first '04 GT3!

I thought the new GT3 looked good in photos, but - Oh my god - it's simply stunning when you see it in real life!!!!

I was surfing the net at work this morning, as you do, and found myself looking at the new '04 GT3 on porsche.co.uk. Later on I walked home for lunch and a brand new metalic silver GT3 went past at 20mph, stopped at the traffic lights, then roared off, leaving the traffic standing. What are the chances of that happening?!?!

It sounded bloody fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cem's a lucky man!

Read this post and then 30 mins later I saw my first '04 GT3 leaving my office in Cambridge. A very nice silver one.

Luvely car

Mark,
When do you collect yours?
What's the spec?
Who did you buy from?
What's your blood type?

Just don't prang one (actually a C4s) like I did after only 4 hours. It's still in the repairers.

Bloke at work already has a GT3, but 1st March he is getting the RS (with the red decal not blue).
I'll take my camera to work that day and post a few pics.

Hugebeef - some bloke (or may have been a woman) pulled out on me at the last minute on the motorway and I ended up in the central reservation. They didn't even stop.

Hugebeef - I don't think it's RIP; I think it's just having a bit of repair work done on it.

No it's not RIP, just a new front bumper and wing. Not bad for a motorway crash, the insurance company were expecting £20K's worth of damage, but it's only five grand.

If I can work out how to post pictures you'll be able to see it.
