...well, if you like that sort of thing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23406467

Seems the more one tinkers with these things to get them just so, the more issues crop up to enrage one's inner OCD. So. Having purchased the car with a cracked cover to the armrest NIT/CD player unit, known at Eurospares as a 'Silverbox', and to the cognoscenti as a 'shroud', I got a...

To Bill McGrath via batterd Volvo to pick up my new old wheels. One word: Wow! A few highlights... The recently discussed Touring Maserati Shooting-Brake :D Apparently there's only two or three of these in the world... Below: The Parachute Regiment badge... Next: this was apparently...

Every day, something different.... This one is doing my canister. The *** lighter works fine, so no loss of electrical connection, but I've tried three separate plug-in chargers for various Moans family telephones/Kindles and not one of them works!?! Known problem? Specific make of...

Right. Having driven the cr@p outta my new 4200 over the last few days, time to start working on the niggles. First up is what I hope is a relatively easy job. The cover section to the arm rest CD player unit is made of cr@ppy plastic and has cracked historically, leaving it wobbling and in...

Helloooooooo Non-Maserati owner (yet). I've admired 3200 and 4200s for YEARS - to the extent of getting my first Trofeo for my son's skalextric track - but never had the beans to go for the real McCoy. Until now. I think they are the most beautiful cars on the planet: Aston Martin...
