Actually yes. I got a Porsche GT3 from an over rich buddy of mine. Goes like a rocket and is very twitchy to drive but HEEEEEPS of fun.

It also chews through the juice like a GTHO stuck in 1st gear.

I will post a pic when I take one.

“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

The elderly don't drive that badly; they're just the only ones with time to do the speed limit.

Happy Birthday Flappist, hope you had a great one
