Okay, here is my story.

I went o Frankfurt Motor Show to looks for new cars, and maybe buy something.. Maybe.

Most probably, I was in love with the Alfa Romeo Brera. And I know that would be very good for my wife, my little boy and myself. It's a good looking car, both of us are architects, and with right color combinations, we will have the best choice for our garage.

Later on, when I came back, I was browsing my photo images (http://gallery.mac.com/oalowais/100195My Gallery) I was absorbed by porsche, and not any Porsche, but the GT2.

I could not think of anything else that was nice in that show, GT Masaratti, New CL65, and many many other nice cars. I am Anti-Porshce Guy, I used to own a Diablo, and a Gallardo, very flashy cars, and now this GT2 is eating my brains out.

I called up the dealer, and tried to book one, but the waiting list is far from 18 months... Ouuuf..

Called couple of people who I found out that they had booked GT2's and some had changed their minds, I got myself into a good position to see one in Jan.. :)

I also bought new plate number for the GT2. (G 911 2)

So, here I am, becoming a Porsche guy, Just signed up with the local Porsche Club in UAE, and looking forward for many miles on track and highways.

HAHA, thats GREAT! The GT2 is really a technological tour de force as far as 911's go.. amazing! Congrats Dubai! (have you had a look at the Gallardo Superleggera's yet?)

Nice choice, remember that the Brera is a very heavy car compared with it's competitors so bare that in mind with engine choice.

GT2s are a real handful, if I were getting into one I'd certianly get some tract tuition booked, the Porshe clube can help with this.

Enjoy, you'll love it.

I would like someone to upload it for me here. The might upset the dealer here, but I don't care. Maybe you can help me spec that beast. Too many things..

Wow Dubai, that's great news! I think you'll be a genuine Porsche-guy really soon :P

What kind of colour are you planning on for the GT2?

Just be careful, it's a beast, we'd hate to see you smash it.

its the first 911 in awhile that has me surprised / excited again, although they're all amazing cars, the rest of the 911 line-up is so predictable... ok a new GT2 was predictable too, but a hooligan kinda 911 is really necessary to break the slur a bit :twisted: 8)

Good move mate to enter into Porsche territory, the new 997 GT2 is simply a masterpiece of engineering and it's incredibly fast. :good:
