Interesting question. I was very amazed at how little room I had on either side of the 3 while passing through. I don't think a 2400 year old, 315 ft. tall tree would have grown that much in only 44 years. I'm thinking the cars were much smaller back then, I know the 356 is much smaller then the current 997's. My guess is the 56 Ford made it. I don't remember sticking around watching them trying to pull out!

One last photo then I will put this thread to bed. This is a photo of myself, on the left, my Uncle Frank and his 1956 speedster. Uncle Frank lost his drivers license shortly after this photo and sold the car just before I got my learners permit. When he did get his license back he purchased a 1960 roadster which I did end up putting some miles on!

We have three homes, must have three sets of everything! The little woman drives the 997s mostly! (Keeps her out of the 3)

what snowboarder still needs is a twin turbo as well lol...

PS Not sure if you're interested but one of my customers just replaced his GT3 with an RS so he won't be wanting his LWF/RS set up for the 3 anymore. I'm sure he'd hook you up

Alex,

I'm at Reno for the weekend. I will call next week. I'm closing in on 10,000 miles! By the way, it's official, I just had an alignment done on the way here and the car was almost spot on. So my excessive tire consumption can omly be blamed on my driving style! I guess I will be visiting my tire guy every 3600 miles or so!

I have just one question for you. How did you manage to get through the Chandelier tree like that with your GT3? If it's the same one that I'm thinking of then the roadway through there is pretty steep going down and out. I couldn't even get through with my lowered MINI a couple years ago.
