Its Autoart ... TT and Pham.... sorry for the late reply. I forgot I posted something here and didnt check the post of replies. ops:

Cigarette1 - I was refering to availability in US. You guys get stuff way quicker.

The 911 GT3-RS with red wheel is supposed to be available in Oct here and the 1973 Carrera RS is supposed to be available in December - I was planning to buy both together in December.... about $50 each

http://www.diecastmuscle.com/store/M...sche/911/2004/

They have a 92 Carrera RS well but not in the same color scheme ... it will be a nice set of Rennsports, eh?

Actually now that I think about it the blue looks cool too ... decisions, decisions ...

I am gunning for white on red to match up with my GT3 in Red (on order) as well as my 360 CS and Ford GT - both with red and white stripe

I heard from different sources both GT3 RS and GT2 (unrecognizable on the images it was a GT2, car was totally wrecked, one could only see it was a 996) were owned by Heydens, both with Monaco numberplates.

ops: i don't know who Heydens is ? it was a blond guy (+-25years old) who came to zolder in this RS and then he drove a Clio Cupcar at the circuit, is that him ?

I am really saddened by this.
Why did the guy not stop? Don't the GT3 RS have a fire ex as a part of the package? At least he could have tried.....
Being at the scene could not have been any worse than leaving it, and maybe comfort your "friends" in their last moments.
I just pray that they did not suffer.
