HI all.... My old man is in the process of buying a 458 and has been to look at quite a few the last couple weeks (cannot wait for when he finally gets it!). He's off to view one tomorrow at Amari which seems the right kind of money and it's still under Ferrari warranty etc But I'm sure...

My battery got low over the winter on my Granturismo S and a few little electrical gremlins appeared. I charged the battery and everything cleared except the car now says it need servicing. The car was serviced last May / June at Graypaul Notts and has covered less than 2000 miles since. I...

Thanks for the comments guys. literally picked the car up then flew out the next day for a weeks holiday. Home tomorrow and can't wait to jump in it and hear that engine. Adam, the car was detailed at Midlands Care Car in Walsall. They have some real nice cars go through there, a black DBS was...

So after months of waiting I can finally post up pics of my new car. I've had it a couple weeks but resisted posting up pics until I picked it up from a full detail. Love the car to bits, the pictures don't do the colour justice. I was hoping to take a few pics of the car somewhere a little...

It's not cheap but a good detailer should be able to restore your car to pretty much showroom condition. The company doing mine are called Midlands Car Care, I found them via Detailing World. I follow them on Facebook as well and you'd be shocked at the amount of brand new cars they do which...

I picked up my Granturismo S a couple weeks ago and had resisted posting any pics ups until after the detailing had been done. But figured I'd post up some progress pics from the detailer with some nice before & after shots. One thing I feel the need to point out is that the paintwork looks...

Is that why the Grancabrio I see every now and then is a little quieter than my MC Shift? I mean he may not have the Sport button pressed so maybe that's it? Just always wondered how they differ. The Grancabrio has an auto box?

Do 4.2's have a Sport button?

Can you believe it? Been on the lookout to buy a GTS for the last 4 months and never seen a Maserati on the roads in the meantime. Then finally I buy one just 3 days ago and spot two in succession on the same night along the same road. I spotted a Red Granturismo (possibly Stradale) on the...

Thanks for all the comments lads. Conaero, do you really believe it needs that? I let my bezzy mate have a thrash in the car and this guy builds track cars as a hobby. He was blown away by the sound. I told him some lads on here swap the mid section for an X Pipe or fit a Larini exhaust or...

After what felt like an eternity I finally picked up my GTS on Friday. I intended to post up sooner but to be honest every spare second I've had over the weekend I've spent in the car. Well, what can I say about the car other than totally AMAZING? I'd test drove quite a few before and...

I'm (fingers crossed) picking up my Maserati this weekend and I'm a little curious as to the kind of reaction my new car will receive. I know from experience these kind of threads always give you that feel good factor because you own a car everybody loves. So what's the best response your car...

Something to do with math? Or mathematicians?

Private regs are a bit like marmite, some think they're a waste of money some don't. I'm of the latter. One thing is for sure they're not a bad "investment". You may not make money on them but they at least hold their value. The brokers selling them definitely drive the prices up and depending...

I'm more of an indie rock kinda guy but I do have an eclectic taste in music, surely we're all in agreement that the lyric from the song "I pray my d*** gets as big as the Eiffel Tower so I can f*** the world for 72hrs" is pure genius? :hang:
