Great to see the old girl still being fast and capable!
Haha I was wondering if he was referring to you.

Fastlane said:In his comments below he says that the Aerokit came before the GT3. Is this true? I always assumed it was designed for the GT3 and then offered as an option for regular 996s. Were Sport Design wheels also offered before the GT3?

Jethro is quite a handy driver too by the look of it. Not realised he is a 996 owner. Good man.
Anyone know exactly where that was filmed, road etc?

Yes totally true, my old car/Jethros car was built a year before the GT3 was launched and came from Porsche with the kit on it. My C4 left Porsche three months before the GT3 was launched and again had an aero kit and "GT3" wheels when it left the factory.
The Mk1 GT3 kit, wheels etc. were basically the optional bits you could spec on your Carrera as the Aero Kit but fitted as standard. So yes the GT3 ripped off the narrow body carrera Aero kit :lol:

Looks like the B4391 from Ffestiniog towards Bala to me. An old favourite North Wales road of Evo's and mine.
