IMHO, gotta say that Carrara White makes for the best looking GT3. Wish my car was that color, but I had to go with what was available in the market, with my requirements and price range.

46, I can sum it up as a combination of need for something fast and raw to add to what I already own. Yes, white GT3's are hot but hard to come by. Still very happy with silver.

Worked for Vasek Polack after school in 1962, changing oil, cleaning the customers cars and helped in the pits on the weekends. I was one lucky kid! I have many fond memories not only of the cars and the times when almost anyone could go racing but of Vasek as well. Now there was a man who had Porsche running through his veins!

My father felt it was necessary to purchase a set of polished fuchs from Vasek when we lived in Puerto Rico. He also felt it was necessary to go out there with me (4 years old) to check them out. I still have the 1:43 orange 930 Turbo that he bought me (it has a few dents and scratches on it).
