Treating myself !

Scoot · 06-05-2009, 12:19 PM

After 12 month of hard graft i've been allowed by the wife to treat myself to a new Gen 2 997 GT3.

Without a shadow of doubt the last 12 months have been the hardest i have ever worked and as im getting older , balder and fatter i've decided to get back into GT3 ownership!

I had a Black 997 Gt3 which frankly i should of never sold, but i will be keeping this baby for a long time !

Riviera Blue or White hmmmmmm .........

Ya jammy b

lucky man as you say not getting any younger only here once etc.

Enjoy and post plenty pics whenever you get it.

Thought I hadn't seen you post for some time or recently...........anyway, nice choice but then I would say that eh!

Like the way you put that your wife is allowing you to treat yourself, my other half doesn't really get a choice but that's women for you lol.

When you getting it then?

Tbh work is taking it out of me and it's relentless but i'm just happy that i'm busy.

I decided to have a new car and it came down to the new xfr or go the full hog and have another gt3.

When i rang Jaguar and asked for a gfv on a 3 year term over the mileage i do it became pointless using one for work and so i'll keep the 335d for another year or two and pray it doesn't blow up on me.

My wife told me that my place is in the Kitchen

Congrats! A gen2 GT3 in Riviera Blue is pretty much my ideal car

I would have to work pretty damn hard for 12 months to afford one mind..

foxy-367 · 06-06-2009, 03:11 AM

I'd have to work pretty bloody hard for 3 years to be able to afford one! Riviera blue gets my vote. Good to hear you are busy though in these times of hardship and why not treat yourself!

That's my ideal colour combo. In fact I might save that as my desktop, motivation when I'm still working into the night/weekends
