Having enjoyed five years with the GT3, I was hankering for a more modern Pcar, so did a deal with the guys at Duttons. This GT3 is a genuinely great car, and worth every dollar they’re asking…… in fact I’m a little surprised they aren’t asking more. The new baby arrived a week or so ago. Happy as a pig in sh#t! Who did you use for transport? I need one from east to west 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track only or will you be able to do the SI Rally reg and run it in your events? I finally got around to putting some plates on the Cup, Peter!
