There are plenty of influencers that have beautiful cars that get on them lightly for 500m on an in ramp, drive them for 20 miles, then put them away in a climate controlled garage to be driven again in 6 months and it always make me feel a bit sad.

Quite interesting that the guy we all love drifting every corner saying he has never done that in his own car, and that his GT3 is a street machine. Love the honesty. We all respect his opinion on cars and it's refreshing he feels comfortable enough to be up front about what car he feels if closest to his heart. Now, if he can really convince people (including me) to put miles on them he will have changed the market for the dying ICE machines. Bravo.

11:52 Exactyl! The same thoughts entered my mind, when I was blasting a mates 991.2 GT3 in switzerland on the smooth roads out there. I thought "fuck am I in a cup car or something!?"......i miss that noise terribly. Especially combined with the gearbox noise (unless it was buggered...). I'd strongly suggest a GT3 is a car you keep.

Very interested; Why not keep driving this one and not get the new one? You’ve say you want this one to keep driving and there’s no other car you’d rather be in, so staying with the banana seems the right thing to do.

I wonder how the steering rack compares in the 992. 991 is good for EPS but still far from great or matching the hydraulic systems

Keep it please. I want to see someone carrying on using it as intended and, dare I say, I don't think the 992 Touringwill be as good an all round package as the 991.

Chris Harris is just living the petrol heads dream. Dream job, dream cars. Love the fact he uses them and enjoys them. Also drives them properly too. Think he’s very modest about his driving skills. Very down to earth guy. So glad he got the top gear job. We need a guy like him on mainstream TV, he’s a dying breed!

Keep it Harris. Beat it. Thrash it. Put huge miles on its odometer for years!. See how long it will survive…then repair and continue.

I had a brand new b9 Audi S4 which I drove hard on occasion but in the whole cherished. It broke down twice and was off the road for weeks. I now have a Megane RS cup and I absolutely batter it all the time. It hasn’t missed a beat in 2 years.

Bravo Chris..I feel the same about my 2014 991.1 GT3. The more I drive it the more I want to drive it. One Sunday morning I stopped in at the neighborhood Starbucks and, was planning to go back home. Ended up driving 500 miles roundtrip to see an old high school friend. With 40K the odometer and running strong, the 991.1 GT3 is good. If you can find one buy it. I haven't had any problems out of the 3.8 liter and it is a hell of an engine.

I already loved the idea of daily-ing a car such as this, where you feel connected to it, where its simply an experience to move from point A to point B. But it must be said that this video has made me love the idea even more. I hope to have the privilege one day.

He's so right. More subtle than the winged versions, with better street manners, similar performance, and a 6-speed to boot - it's the goldilocks of sports cars. This, and (if you live in the USA) a Ford Raptor, and you have everything an auto enthusiast could ask for.
