CHE Report post Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Have mostly been lurking around here for about 15 years now, and today I finally signed the contract with a Porsche dealer in Sweden for my first sports car - a 2018 991 GT3. My initial plan was to get a 991 Carrera from 2014-2015, but eventually I couldn't resist the GT3. I guess I'm the kind of person who either goes for all or nothing It's sapphire blue with PCCB, extended leather interior and some other extras. Around 15'000 kms. Haven't even seen it in person or driven it. Needless to say, I look forward to pick it up in about three weeks Will post some more pictures then. Edit: sorry for the low quality pics. Got them from the dealer. Will post better high res. ones once I get it. Edited February 13, 2020 by CHE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHE Report post Posted February 14, 2020 Thanks a lot guys! I've waited so long for this day. I almost can't sleep at night. Damn, I'm 37 but I'm more excited now than the days before christmas when I was seven. Is that normal? @ Destructo: Yes, it will be a drive of about 400 miles to bring it home. So I'm flying over with a friend to pick it up and go for a road trip. First track event with instructor is also booked for May. Not planning to track it that much really, but I have to try it. It's probably addictive though Not sure about the wheels, does it look better in light or dark grey rather than black? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructo Report post Posted February 14, 2020 Wheels are subjective. Personally, I'm down with the dark color over light. Track driving has it's place, can be a lot of fun, just make sure you budget for it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHE Report post Posted March 18, 2020 Hi again, Thanks for your comments! Now she's home in Stockholm. I don't have much to compare with since it's my first sports car, but I'm completely in love with it - the looks, the sound and the driving experience. It's just out of this world for me, especially since the nearest I've driven before is a Porsche 996 Carrera. And the color is just amazing in person. Looks fantastic with the black wheels, yellow PCCB calipers, tinted windows and yellow 3 point seat belts. Will try to get some professional photos from a friend of mine later in the spring.

Destructo Report post Posted March 18, 2020 It's a sharp car for sure. Glad you were able to pick it up. Hopefully get to get out and enjoy it a bit soon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHE Report post Posted March 28, 2020 Thanks again! I've only had it four three weeks and already driven it for about 1900 miles. What an amazing car :) Kind of using it as a daily driver now when I've moved temporarily away from the city to my house on the country side. It's super easy in automatic mode in city traffic, although loud of course and a bit tricky to fill with grocery bags behind the roll cage ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
