Around a month ago I sold my Lava Orange 991.1 GT3RS to a main dealer for what I considered to be a really good price. Strong used car prices meant that after around 10 months of ownership, I got nearly all my money back, even after putting nearly 4000 miles on the car. I sold it for a few reasons, but my main gripe was that it simply left me emotionally cold. I was never excited to drive it for driving's sake - and surely that should be the reason you own such a vehicle? I had wanted a GT3RS for so long and after achieving the goal of having one in the garage I was left underwhelmed.
Here's a coupe of pictures:


Don't get me wrong - the car was incredibly capable (especially on track), but as a road car it always felt a bit 'meh' to me. You'd have to wring its neck to have fun, and by that time you're either going to end up in a very big accident or in jail!
I thought long and hard about what to replace the car with. I even thought I had fallen out of love with driving completely and considered buying ... nothing! That lasted around a week or so until I came to my senses and decided to get one of the most driver-focused cars on the market - would less, really be more?
Introducing the Cup 430 in Vivid Green ...


I've got a couple of things I'd like to do first (reset ride height, dampers and wheel alignment to standard specs). I'd also like to get some carbon barge boards installed, and some other bits made yellow instead of green.
Expect some more proper images in the weeks to follow.
