Hi Bebs, following up on the reverse gear topic, are you any the wiser? Thanks

Hi Bebs, what was the outcome on your reverse gear not engaging on a cold start?

If anyone is considering Michelin tyres then there's 15% off at https://www.blackcircles.com/ for Black Friday. Wrong thread?!

Just picked up my Granturismo S after Matt and the Team at Sportsitalia spent a few weeks on it, and for any newcomers to the Maserati community I can't recommend these guys enough. The car had been inspected before I purchased it 6 months ago and although there was nothing fundamentally wrong...

Hi, do you still have this number plate for sale?

Welcome to the club Dan, mine is a 2011 Granturismo S with the same stealth colour scheme. Have had it for a month and still get butterflies every time I get into the driving seat. Enjoy your dream machine!

Epic, that morning ritual sounds hard to beat philw696.;) The Maserati definitely stirs the soul, also leaves you shaken on occasion! :p

Spoken like a true veteran! Thanks for clarifying c4sman.

My spec seems to tally with the THE AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSAXLE in this article: https://eng.kaps.cz/mc-shift-technology-1024

Confusing, I have the transmission buttons, no gear stick, but can drive it as an auto or deselect auto and use the paddles, with MC Shift mode appearing when I start thrashing it. Does that make it a MC Shift?

Cheers c4sman, it's been quite a ride, in every sense, so far. Mine is a MC Auto Shift, spent first day in auto, then auto sport, next manual, yesterday manual sport and today the experience became metaphysical with manual sport MC Shift. I may sleep in it tonight! :D

Haha, prefer to stick to the countryside, too much attention in town, not all are enthusiastic about the V8 thunder!

Thanks mlc, I have already received some great tips from this lively, good humoured and knowledgable forum. Looking forward to playing my part!

Haha, we will have to learn to live with the illness!

Great analogy Ulstermanabroad, a bit like those wild horses riding the waves in that old Guinness advert..tic followed tock followed..! I can't see myself ever selling mine, unless I loose my driving license which has suddenly become a distinct possibility!

Thanks Dickygrace, nice profile pic!

Hi Tallman, thanks for the welcome. It's a GT S from 2011, 57k, MC Shift transmission, with the alcantara and leather interior, not sure about the cream alcantara centres of the seats but it's growing on me. Has the carbon fibre pack and black tip exhausts which you can't see from the pics...

I hear you Andy, will graduate to the paddles today, and stay there.

Thanks all for the very warm welcome! Corrosion seems to be the big concern. My car was MoTd and serviced by a specialist garage (David Philips in Edinburgh) however the undercarriage cover wasn't removed so not sure what's lurking under there. Do I need to remove this cover to check for...
