    Keyring and Navigation updates for sale

    I have two items for sale from my Maserati ownership and rather than just bang them on eBay, I may as well let someone on here enjoy them for significantly less than I paid for them! The first item is the genuine Maserati leather keyring (like this one...

    Guys, I'm really sorry...this is a new car thread

    I've been deliberating the decision for a few weeks on whether I was going to renew the warranty on my GT-S in September or whether I was going to cut dry and buy something else. One of the main factors in this thought process is the mileage that I'm doing (much more than what I was doing 6...

    Automatic wipers....feedback

    Chaps....those of you with automatic wipers, what do you think of them? I've never had cause for complaint on how auto-wipers work on any previous cars from my Alfas, BMWs, Mercs and even my other half's Punto Sporting that she had a couple of years ago - the auto wipers just seemed to...

    Only a small one this, but can the technical guy(s) add a logo to the address bar for this forum? Why do this? Well, most web browsers now allow you to put bookmarks in a bookmarks bar across the top of a webpage and most sites now have little logo'smeaning you display just the logo, and...

    GT-S Detail (with pictures!!)

    Devastated and done over. :sad: Thats was how I felt after I set eyes on my car an hour after I first washed it (about a week into ownership). I thought I'd bought my car carefully - I inspected the paintwork under florescent lights and under bright sunlight (both of which are notorious for...

    MC Stradale Wheels

    I've provisionally ordered a set of MC Stradale wheels (which are on back order) and I'm struggling with colour choice. I've initially ordered the Titanium colour (which is basically silver) but the only other choice is Graphite which is the black that you currently see on all MC Stradale's...

    MC Stradale suspension upgrade to Granturismo S (inc. Nurburgring pics!)

    Hi everyone....given this is about more than just the suspension, it deserved a new thread (and it's a long one!).... Following my drive in an MC Stradale a few weeks ago, I was absolutely smitten by the improved dynamics that were much improved over my GT-S which, whilst OK, was never going to...

    Granturismo Rattles

    As you'll soon get to know, I have a big problem in dealing with rattles....I just can't cope with them (it's a mental problem...I know!)! Indeed, I've made myself very competent at taking apart car interiors to ensure I can fix them myself (and in this regard, I AM much better than any...

    My Maserati is going tomorrow.....

    .....aaahhhhh! I had you all there didn't I! It is going...but only to the Sound Gallery in High Wycombe for the week in order to have the entire sound system replaced (well, the main head unit is obviously staying!). This place has come highly recommended by another forum member. I love my...

    D@mn...not happy!

    Just reversed my car into a post...was easing up to it and it jerked backwards and smacked it. Because the post was so thin making the impact very focussed in one area, it's put a 2-3 inch crack in it :( Aarrgghhhhh! This is when I miss a clutch pedal! I hope it can be repaired as I don't...

    This is what I'm looking at right now...

    Don't get too excited....I do mean quite literally (from my hotel window)! For my first time to the far east, I've been quite impressed with Kuala Lumpur after 3 days here....done a couple of touristy things, amazed at how modern and clean the city is and although the price of things...

    Wheel Spacers

    I was looking at my car directly from behind today as I walked up to it from a distance and noticed that it looked a little narrow tracked compared to the width of the car. It's not really noticeable from most angles but it did concern me enough to research some solutions and it seems this is...
