Looks nice though Bit of a long stretch of the bow, this particular GT3 (with red GT3 rear badge), looks very similar to the car sold at Shannon's 2010 winter auction: https://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/2010-shannons-melbourne-winter-classic-auction/S8D3Q9AZ3W5V3709/ p.s I had to check my garage, I thought my car had been stolen, very similar spec: 1 off 13 Touring 996 Mk1 GT3s, A1A1 Black, Leather Recaros, Tequipment cage and red Schroth driver harness. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the red badge straight Every where I go people talk of the porsche adverts and buying expectations lately , we seem to be the joke of the motoring arena Remember when you paid per letter for your adverts For sale GT3 Tour, FSH, No Dents,VGC, $$$OVNO Im think an open house tyre kicking style of sale would work better these days, would save a lot of time and conjecture. PS Mr South Aus white wonky badge went on hold , hopefully we will hear of someone thrashing it around shortly GTP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT Posted 10December, 2018 Report Share Posted 10December, 2018 Nasty - but a lot better than it could have been. That's well and truly repairable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troubleshooter Posted 10December, 2018 Report Share Posted 10December, 2018 I've looked at it 20 times and I'm sure the tyres start squealing after he brakes and the tyres squeal for half a second before the car starts to veer. I know I must be wrong but looks like he puts his left foot on the clutch and doesn't move his right foot to the brake prior to the swerve ... gotta feel sorry for the dude, using it for what it's intended, looks like he has a nice RS to compensate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A Posted 11December, 2018 Report Share Posted 11December, 2018 I have now watched a few times, I think he may have hit some oil on the road. He brakes first, then put his foot on the clutch. i have crossed over an oil stream previously that I had spotted at around 180ks and crossed it very carefully- car had a big wiggle Ineterstingly he let’s go of the wheel, but holds down the clutch. This is the risk when you play with big boys toys Troubleshooter and James P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's well and truly repairable Amazing that frame is still straight - because there isn't a straight panel left on the car. If it's a track hack then probably can be fixed. If you fight the bull, sometimes you're going to get the horns. I think he's lucky he grazed the front and put the car into a flat spin that stayed on it's wheels, and that nobody came up and hit him again. Many cars have done that and flipped into a bad rollover. Oh, and LOL at the passenger airbag cover direct hit to the nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately for him the most expensive part of the car got away almost unscathed. The big dent in the roof is interesting...caused by the bonnet flying open? 20 hours ago, Jason A said: I have now watched a few times, I think he may have hit some oil on the road.

This is the risk when you play with big boys toys Figures he let go of the wheel to avoid wrist and hand injury, although he had already copped the big hit before then (with hands still on the wheel). No foot on the brake pedal, but brakes probably aren't helping at that stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason A Posted 14December, 2018 Report Share Posted 14December, 2018 Just picked up my silver 996 MK1 GT3 CS from Dutton Garage in Melbourne. Great car, can’t say the same for the weather. Leaving early in the morning for Adelaide where I will store it for a while. Drive in the hills and do some laps of The Bend MS Park. Will eventually bring it home to Brisbane. You can’t beat a road trip in a Porsche.

Jason A Posted 14December, 2018 Report Share Posted 14December, 2018 Yeah it was a good car, not perfect but a good honest example. Complete correct cars don’t come up very often. I think these cars are undervalued in Australia. 1,800 cars, 20% (approx - Clubsport), most of them are here. Under valued in Australia compared to global market.

Great that Karl looked after you. I have found him straight up and no BS in my few dealings, which is great for a young enthusiastic guy and very different in his industry. Not sure if he took you for a tour while you were there? They have some very special cars down in the basement of which one being restored belongs to the owner of the bend in Adelaide 😍 safe drive to Adelaide 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can forgo a bit of condition, cars get wear & tear when used, but the car has to be honest & correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
