Default Few photos from my GT3 road trip

For the last five months of 2013 I was only in Florida for about two weeks and after living in Monaco for the last three months, I really missed my car because of the ongoing exotic car show that is the streets on Monaco! I then found myself homeless for ten days so I decided a quick road trip might be in order. With an ice storm warning in force for south eastern parts of South Carolina and Georgia, I think I just should have gone with Trak Car to Finland!

These were taken on Tybee Island just outside Savannah, Georgia. Another reminder that there isn't a bad angle to take a photo of these cars. Funnily enough, after I took the photos of the car in the shade where I had parked it, I moved it into the sun to show off the cobalt blue. I happier with the ones in the shade.

Thanks. Not sure the weather is much better here now. Leaving Hilton Head Island today and an ice storm warning in effect for the first couple of hours of my drive...

I think there are even fewer CB .2s (2???) than there were .1s ... probably partially because it was a 'std' color on the .1 and PTS on the 2 ...

reminds me how much I loved my CB .1!

I wish. Not sure when I will be back there. Need to update my location!

As for the cobalt blue numbers, I have confirmation from PCNA it appears there is only one MY10 cobalt blue GT3.

Never thought I would read those two sentences so close together.

Awesome looking car, didn't realize they offered cobalt blue on .2, was it PTS? Thought only aqua blue was offered.

Homeless for me is a bit different as I am a permanent traveller, based in Florida and am constant organising accommodation. I do see the comedy in what I wrote though.

Yes it was a PTS. Hugh (C4S/GT3), the original owner, can probably elaborate more on the process of ordering the colour.

One final photo yesterday morning as I left Hilton Head Island. Whilst the car was in a car park, part of it was exposed and the rain come through and then froze.
