This is the second silver 996 GT3 I’ve seen in recent weeks, hopefully more to be seen in the area (the shots I took from the rear aren’t that good so I didn’t post them):

http://img44.exs.cx/img44/2755/GT3.th.jpg (http://img44.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img44&image=GT3.jpg)

A Cayenne Turbo (the owner apoligized that it was so dirty for my pictures…LOL):

A couple of Boxsters (I know nothing special but still a Porsche after all):

Some older stuff now, 993:

and another one (wish there were as many 996’s as there are older models :( ):

http://img79.exs.cx/img79/6743/black993.th.jpg (http://img79.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img79&image=black993.jpg)

944 Turbo (I think so anyway, not so good with the older Porsches), it has a yellow defect sticker on the window for some reason:

http://img20.exs.cx/img20/1922/944turbo.th.jpg (http://img20.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img20&image=944turbo.jpg)

M3:

http://img84.exs.cx/img84/7348/silverM31.th.jpg (http://img84.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img84&image=silverM31.jpg)

ML55 AMG, took this throught windscreen since the neighbours were outside and giving me strange looks :? :

http://img20.exs.cx/img20/8401/ML55.th.jpg (http://img20.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img20&image=ML55.jpg)

A Range Rover Vogue V8 (they cost $156K over here, so fairly rare), and a spare Volvo wheel cover sitting beside it…lol :D :

http://img36.exs.cx/img36/7485/RRVogue.th.jpg (http://img36.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img36&image=RRVogue.jpg)

A Crossfire, looks quite aggressive:

http://img68.exs.cx/img68/3219/Crossfire.th.jpg (http://img68.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img68&image=Crossfire.jpg)

and one of those ‘cute’ Smart cars, with appropriate plates:

http://img20.exs.cx/img20/1131/SMART.th.jpg (http://img20.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img20&image=SMART.jpg)

These are for possessed_beaver, who requested some Maloo and SS utes:

A nice black R8 Maloo:

white Maloo, very blurry for some reason:

http://img20.exs.cx/img20/6135/whiteMaloo.th.jpg (http://img20.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img20&image=whiteMaloo.jpg)

and two less spectacular SS’s:

good pics !
but i believe the GT3 is a fake ;
1: GT3 can't have a sunroof
2: GT3 has red callipers
3: something wrong with the front spoiler

http://img28.exs.cx/img28/9172/gt3fake.th.jpg (http://img28.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img28&image=gt3fake.jpg)

what logo's are in the wheels ?

Thanks for the pics, but I fear cigarette is correct :(

BTW dude, when you take pics through a windshield or similar, the "auto levels" (or "auto contrast" in some cases) function in Photoshop can help:

You can still see the dirt on it, but colors and contrast are better ;)

Shit, I should have picked that up myself...didn't look close enough. The owner went to a but of effort, he even got the GT3 wheels and badge on the back:

Thanks for the info though cigarette.

Thanks TT as well for the hint for the windscreen shot.:D

Its not based on the GTO (or Monaro), its just a ute (or pickup as you say) of the normal Commodore...it has the same engine as the Monaro though (5.7 V8 LS1). :wink:
Since you like it so much heres another picture of the same one:

he even put the GT3 logo way to high :lol:
don't you think that's sad ? i've got no problems with people who buy the AeroKit so it looks like a GT3, but this... :roll:

But in the end its still a Porsche, and any Porsche is better than none at all IMO. :wink:

Nice cars. I believe it is not a real GT3 also but i still would like to own it. They shouldn't have changed the rear wing, the old one is so nice, the new one is son common ( the shape, i mean)

Nice pics and thanks for rotating them 180 deg so they are the right way up for us (j/k). Shame on the ricer GT3 wannabe, however, probably owned a civic or something before...

Nice cars overall....i got impressed with the monaro pick up which looks a bit bizarre but i like it....Im a big enthusiast of the porsche 944, especially the turbo or the turbocup......but this 944 is hideous with the extra spoilers, the hole in the bonnet, and the non porsche wheels, just the extra, non genuine and not necessary stuff have totally ruined the car........thanks for the pics anyway

i think you will be happy with the 997GT3, looks like it's getting a wing that looks alot like the one on the Mk1 :D

Yeah he was, an Aussie guy in his mid 40's by the look of him. I think he could be a doctor because when he left with his briefcase he walked towards a doctors surgery. :wink:

I'll see what I come up with, a new mission for the week. :D


That sport ute rocks :D

I like it also, heres a Ford Falcon XR6 ute I saw today (for comparison)...sorry about the pic quality, btw those wheels are not standard:

I don't get it, could be that I'm a little slow though.
