what got me into a GT3? goes back to 2004 and riding shotgun in a mates brand new basalt black 04 black 6.2 club sport to le mans.
have always been a huge fan of porkers and this thing was epic. he used to have a TVR but he moved over....went to hong kong back in 2007 but has kept the gt3 in storage!!
it was super hot like now (30 plus degrees) the whole way and week at le mans. everything else was breaking down around us despite being new but TVR crap. we wafted down there in air con luxury, laughed at all the others as they cooked up and fixed stuff and it would do 190 mph with ease, with the cool air blowing and not using that much fuel compared to the others.
I just remember the noise, the gear change, the grip, the grunt , just how amazing and responsive the whole thing was as a package. and it had like 1500 miles on the clockl!!
I was hooked, he let me drive it a fair bit and that was me done/sold/in love. vowed to get one somehow and here I am after quite a lot of cars....
205 GTI 1.9 (should have kept it)
Pulsar GTiR
R33 GTR skyline x 2 (one running HKS 2530s, big injectors, Power FC ECU, loads of mods and nearly 600 bhp. flame spitting giggle monster)
R34 GTR skyline (standard apart from filter and exhaust- learnt my modding lesson!)
e30 m3 left hooker (215 bhp version)
couple of E36 m3 track cars I used to keep at the ring (when it was good to be there before top gear ruined it)
plus an E30 track with 3 litre m3 e36 engine in it. hilarious car!
996 Carrera 2 manual 3.4 in artic sliver.
BMW m3 CSL x 2 (one silver and black)
Guards red 996.2 GT3.
Daily is a Seat Leon Cupra 290 (chipped to 350 BHP) which is a riot and wolf in sheep's clothing. matches the gt3 for pace up to 80!!
I have got a barn find E36 3 litre m3 4 door saloon which I am slowly doing up and just about saved it. also got a boggo 996 C2 non sunroof manual tucked away for the future too.
