Nice one Shane, look forward to hearing progress reports throughout.

I dug out my CSL yesterday and then went for a 3 hour round trip in the Diesel Golf thinking, 'Am I mad to not be in the CSL?' until I got onto some typical Irish roads, was glad to be in the Golf. Taking her out today for a wee blast though, can't wait.

Congrats Shane! Still yet to experience the GTR and waiting for a friend to come over in his to give me a quick rundown.

I know what you mean Baz, Im in my Diesel 9.9 times out of 10. Heading into London tonight thinking... Diesel or CSL!? It hasn't been out for over a month and hasn't been on a decent stint since Ring in July and fact its going next month, think its over due! Insurance is being poured down the plughole

There are a couple GTR's around my way and i love them in black and after hearing Daz and now you talk about them i might have to go check them out.

How does the GTR compare to your modded 911 Turbo?

The porsche was more prestige so to speak, but performance wise the GTR spanks it in every area.
Its also a nice place to be with all the toys, electric heated seats, cruise, full on board computer, bluetooth, keyless go etc etc etc.

Go try one stu, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

They are fookin awesome

Nice one mate.

Can you elaborate on the high gearbox temp issue?

No issue so far for me, but apparently on track, gearbox temps can creep up causing shorter stints, Ill update on this.

Yes it has warranty mate as its only 1 yr old, so 2 yrs left.
People have had no issues with claims even with aftermarket stuff so fingers crossed it will be ok.

Ill post up a new thread with pics.


Rob and Shimmy, it was my dads Birthday, not mine

Sorry Shim, had to pick up my car today, so could not make donny. Just got in now.
