Am heading over on Saturday, one of my good mates works there, although having just bought a GT3 the fun token bank is empty!!!
I'm fairly confident the GT3 will more than compensate for that somehow...
Here's hoping!!!Quote:

Likewise, I'm intrigued to see what the 924 Carrera GT and the 944 Turbo S bring. I'm also rather interested to see what the 996 GT3 does for obvious reasons!Quote:

All helps the retirement fund. :smug:
Those 944 prices look very optimistic - although SA prices are usually higher than the 'ordinary' market......although so are the fees!!
The 924 CGT looks great value at the estimate compared to the 944 prices.Quote:

i will be interested to see what #222 goes for. Although mine is nicer and black.
With an eye on the 930s, they almost seem reasonable value.

I have one, albeit not as nice as his. It’s only really a concern on the rare occasion that it’s on boost, but any lady approaching forty should be treated appropriately!Quote:

The 964 I was looking at sold for £42k bargin, but questionable colour and horrid interior. :smug:
The 964 RS must be the cheapest in the world? Went for £105k, non matching numbers though, the 993 Turbo S went for £225k plus fees! My mate was tempted by the Red with tan 930 but it went for strong money. All in all a good day out.
Having just bought a mint 996 GT3, it's was good to see that the one they had was well tracked, non original and looking quite tired!

The whole point of the RS is the engine, suspension and the welded chassis - if it hasn't got this then it's just a C2. In which case it's very expensive.
