Another GTS newbie

Hello all,
I’m picking up a 2010 GTS MC tomorrow morning.
My wife & I are danish/dutch so when I accidentally came across a UK registered left hand drive German import on autotrader I fired off an email for some information.
As luck would have it a fellow danish chap, also living in the UK, replied to my enquiry and 1 week later here we are!
I had Nareman at Nuvola do a PPI and whilst there are issues (brakes/bushes/slightly weeping cam covers/engine mounts) I struck a deal with the owner to accommodate for this.
The car is black with black leather and on 60,000 miles. I tend to use my cars so I’m not too worried about mileage.
She will sit next to my 360 Modena which I have had for 17 years and have done 110,000 miles in. Aldous at AV looks after it.

Some pics to follow as soon as I get her home. I’m sure I will have plenty more questions in the coming weeks/months and very much look forward to being a part of SM and meeting some of you guys.
That’s all for now folks!
Brian

Great choice, the GTS MC-Shift. And Aldous will make sure it’s nice for you.

And 17 years in a 360 is great going. I blew up the engine in mine on about day 17 (!) on the Kings Road. Quite loud and very embarrassing. But a very long time ago now. That said, it was a nice car while it lasted!

Congratulations on the purchase, my 4.7 MC has ensured I have had a permanent grin on my face for 3 years and counting - enjoy !

Have you tried with the little Renault or the Boxter/Jag yet?
Slowed down a bit now mate and enjoying the Country roads here in France and just enjoy the journey.
