sinbad Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Went to my local porsche dealer (Bolton) yesterday as i heard they had a Carrera GT in. When i got there it was smack bang in the middle of the show room. What a car!!! I was drooling on it. lol. i saw one of these lap Brands Hatch last year and it sounded awesome. All the staff inside where really friendly and chatted to us about the car. It was bought by some guy for £265k (or roundabout cant remember exact number), he didnt have anywhere to store it while he went on vacation and asked the garage if they minded keeping hold of it. Obviously they accepted however they said that when he gets back he is selling it on to someone for £500k!! Thats a hefty sum but i'd keep it. Managed to get some pics on my phone, if i get chance i'll post them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinbad Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Porsche GT anytime!! Here we goooooooooo.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Id have the GT all day. Cant think why he would get 500k for it though. My friend has the black GT 2005, lucky B@stard, he bought it down when he came to my birthday it looked awesome, was black with yellow brake callipers, Sarnie you would love it. Really nice to sit in too, really nice interior, awesome body shape, sounds fantastic when it starts up, will take a pic of it. And even though its a 5.7 litre V10 its pretty good on fuel but thats Porsche in general. It is worth every penny, even though he didnt get to open it up round my way to much as city roads, it still is mind blowing to sit in.

sl114 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Strangly no, not a thing. I saw one in London the other week and i didnt even batter an eyelid, I thought it was a normal porsche, then saw it and im not convinced. Its just the front is still too much like a 911 and the styling is nothing special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Sinbad, where you live mate? I work in Bolton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 I live in Standish so not far away. sl114 - I'm telling you, the build quality, especially the Carbon fibre is amazing. Everything just looks well thought through. Plus the engine! No turbo rubbish either, just a sweet V10. The brakes are just mahoosive!! 0 - 124 mph in 9.9 seconds isn't bad either! I could be pursuaded to swap my Zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Porsche GT anytime. The SLR is so out of proportion. There is a black one in Manchester and see it often. Not the prettiest of cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl114 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Sl114 what are they putting in the water up in Borehamwood, id get that checked out, seems to be effecting your taste buds Chlorine i have been told! My skin is really bad since i moved there. I just have odd taste in cars, i cant help the fact that it doesnt appeal to me in any shape or form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hmm, at least you have fantastic taste when it comes to American Muscle cars, thank god for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Wilson Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm sure it goes like sh1t off a chrome shovel but from the side it reminds me of the MR2 roadster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it's not just me. Nowt wrong with the MR2 of course (used to have a Mk1) but I wouldn't pay that much for a car that looks like one.

rmmackfc Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 After seeing the koenigsegg CC8S go round knockhill last year...i'd have to go for that. It sounded like the devil had just turned up ...although the FXX Enzo was pretty nice too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I would have either at the drop of a hat, (and a lottery win) but dream car would be one that can do 0-100-0 in ten seconds and can pull 3g...... http://www.worldcarfans.com/news.cfm/ne ... s-us-debut http://www.caparo-t1.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
