http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.as ... 444224&i=0Yeasterday i Took my good freind Martin Thomas to collect his new 997 GT3 RS,
after a 6am start, we finaly got to the Porsche center and he took delivery of this fantastic new car. It is now 4pm and we have to drive back through the center of London to get to the M3 motorway, after a number of phone calls to Martin and the stop start all day that we had done in trafic, i was feeling rather fresh and realy pleased for Martin that he had acheived a what he had by actualy getting to be the first owner of this GT3 RS in Orange (well done me old mate).
We were sat in trafic, myself in the E92 M3 and Martin behind in the RS, Motorbikes and cycleists coming past us with a nats cock of distance from both our mirrors and bodywork..... Then the phone rings, i hit the i-drive button and answer the call to hear Martin Shouting his head off"IF ONE OF THESE Cs hits my Fg car i am going to get out and shuv there Fg Cg Bike up there Fg bottom , With wich i started to laugh, Then poor old Martin took the wrong turning and got lost because the sat nav was changing the route because of the traffic problems that were in London.
I had to give him one of those calm down talks and get him to give me a name of a road where he was so i could go and rescue the situation.
Eventualy, after the longest day of my life, we got out of the trafic and started to head home on the M3, The GT3 RS looked and sounded so nice that i have decide to get rid of my M3 collection and upgrade to one of these GT3 RS's. The E92 done the job we both thought rather well on this road trip, it was comfotable, Martin never complained about the lumbar support, (must have lost a few pounds)!! we reached silly speeds on the way to get the Porker and both said how well the E92 pulled after 160mph!.... topping off at 172 on the digital read out.
The E92 M3 is a great car and it got lots of looks while we were driving through London, that V8 sound and the torque of that engine is realy nice, the delivery of power is positive and the steering spot on, in all a well ballanced car.
The E46 i have is not as good as the E92, but good for a cheap every day hack to work and for the Mrs to go shopping in, and as for the CSL..... Well that is a great car and it will pain me to see her go but i am afraid to say they all have to go to make way for a GT3 RS that has stolen my heart and to be honnest i dont want it back.... The days of the M3's have been great and i would never change them for the world, but its time to move on and get a car that suits what i need best.... and the GT3 RS ticks all of the boxes
So if you are looking for one of the above mentioned
drop me a mail....
Thanks Martin, you have opened the door to a new level of car for me, what colour shal i go for? Black, Orange or Green..... Hmmmmmmm
