Ha - funny to see this thread. My first car, in my final year as a student in 1984, was a yellow fixed head TR7. For a 20 year old, that seemed pretty cool in the 80s! It had been around for a while then, but I thought it was the dogs b*ll*cks. I think it first broke down on the way home...

Have a chat to the guys at Autofficina in Chessington. They look after my QP and I'd strongly recommend them for good quality work and reasonable prices. Saltire

Can you add my 2007 QP V GT Sport? Cheers

Golf and Maseratis. Two of my favourite things. A bit of single malt whisky and I'll have the set. Count me in. Saltire

I popped along yesterday, and I'm glad I did. There was a reasonable Maserati turnout - 4 QPs and a couple of GTs when I was there. There were probably 30 Ferraris, 8 Lambos, 3 Maclarens and a smattering of Astons and interesting others including a GT40, and a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. The...

Know the feeling! I'll let you know how it goes anyway....

Adam I live near Brooklands so I think I may head down there on Sunday. I think the free entry offer expired in June, but the entry prices look pretty reasonable if it lives up to expectations and there are plenty of interesting cars on show. If anyone's going let me know and I'll look...

Absolutely stunning. Red leather wouldn't be my first choice, but somehow it just looks right!

TT It is indeed. I had it carefully checked out and it appears to be totally sound. In which case, hopefully I've got a bargain! I'll need a service before the end of the year, but Quickars had some engine work done just before it went out of (extended) warranty by HR Owen. The only...

Silver 4200 coming towards me at Hampton Court on the afternoon of Saturday 26th. An emotional moment: a first opportunity to wave as a member of the Maserati fraternity...

TT I can certainly relate. Got my first Maserati a month before you. I sold a lovely 911 Carrera 4 because I just fell in love with the looks, the exclusivity, the luxury and most of all, the sound of a QP Sport GT. My wife and daughter didn't know what I'd bought until they drove me to...

Brendan Funny you mention a Porsche since I replaced my 911 with an '07 QP about a month ago. Aviva charged me an extra £200 for the remaining 10 months of the insurance year (making a total of £700), which was a lot less than they were quoting for a new policy. That said, the best prices...

A hard ride shouldn't be too much of a problem. It's unlikely I'll ever have it over 50 mph.... ......not!

Happy to say it lived up to expectations and I'll join the ranks of Maserati owners on Saturday. No record of a new clutch, but recent engine work at HR Owen at end of warranty. Judging by the seats I don't think there's ever been anyone in the back of the car! Once I'd tried out manual...

Nice to hear EVOeng. I'm taking a look at this car shortly. Any advice on dealing with Quickars?
