These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Porsche Club GB: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link

Still not a patch on the Carrera GT I saw and heard last year, the driver nailed it from the roundabout just as I was leaving work.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I work just accross the road from Reading OPC, so you see Porsches blatting pass every so often. I was having lunch at a local pub and the GT3 drove past the pub twice, some lucky person on a test drive!. It was in white and it sounds awesome! First one I have seen in the roads. All in all a rather pleasant distraction. Still not a patch on the Carrera GT I saw and heard last year, the driver nailed it from the roundabout just as I was leaving work. Talk about F1 sounds!! Mav

POST 2Original post

I know what you mean... A few of us were enjoying a currywurst and lemonade accross the road from the factory last summer, when a Carrera GT pulled out of the car park and nailed it up the main street. Awesome...

POST 3Original post

Have OPC's got demo's already? Are you sure it wasn't an 997 with an aerokit and a sports exhaust?

POST 4Original post

So far there is just the white 'pre-production' rhd 997GT3 that was used for the launch at Thruxton last week. Not sure if that is road registered. However, some of the mags may have lhd press cars. I think autocar are running one down to Le Mans this weekend.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The demo 997 is red at Reading I think, the "white" one didn't even have any plates on it!! Mav

POST 6Original post

The demo car we were shown around at Reading on Saturday at the Titanic lunch was white. And yes it was the Thruxton car.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
