Goodbye Lotus...Hello GT3!

Three weeks ago I had some time to kill so I drove my 02 Lotus Esprit to a local Porsche dealership and asked to take an TT and a GT3 for a test drive. Did not really care for the TT but once I drove the GT3 I knew I had have it! I spent the next 3 weeks searching the country online for the right car and price. Once I had a few finalists I listed my Esprit on Ebay and sold it to a local in 3 days. An hour later I cut a deal with a local Porsche dealership.

Picked up my car this evening and I think I am in love with a car! I took a couple of bad pictures in my garage and will take some tomorrow in the light to post. It is an 07 GT3, 11000 miles, White with red wheels, mirrors and GT3 emblem on back. Black leather steering wheel with red instrument dials and seatbelts. Navigation, bluetooth (which works great by the way), xenon, premium sound, stitching in dash and doors, clear bra and not a single paint chip that I could find. I have on order some black mats with red trim and red GT3 logos.

congrats on the purchase, gorgeous car!

I think if I didn't have a wife to put through college, I'd be driving one of these right now soon enough I guess

Your story is similar to mine.
I took delivery of my 2007 GT3 less than 2 weeks ago. It had 7662 miles on it and the first owner drove it gently. It has the clear bra, but on the front hood it covers only 1/3rd. This weekend I am having it replaced with one that will cover the entire hood in one piece.
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.
Mr. B
