    Saw this in the recent Maser Club news. Made me chuckle.

    Brooklands New Years Day meet

    Anybody been to this before? If the weather is dry, I might head over. I'd be more likely to go if I could count on finding a few Maseratis there... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=14&t=1466100&mid=0&nmt=Brooklands+New+Years+Day+2015

    Thruxton skid pan session

    Just returned from a session at Thruxton taking my car around the skid pan. Fantastic session. He said mine was the first 4200 he had had there. The instructor was friendly, helpful and encouraged me to what I wanted and "use more power" which is always a good sign. There was another guy...

    Rear spoiler/splitter removal

    Hi, I expect there is a thread for this someone can point me to. I have just swapped my exhaust straight throughs for the oem back boxes. Unfortunately this has revealed that the o/s exhaust tips were resting on the rear spoiler and left a large white patch shining out. I need to fill and...

    iphone/ipod connection for 4200

    I know this has been covered in various threads but I can't quite piece it together. I have MY03 4200, with no CD changer. I would like to be able to connect my phone or ipod to the standard infotainment system instead of the CD player connection or as well. Ideally I would like the phone...

    Maserati Event today

    Excellent day had a MC event near Aylesbury. A gorgeous row of Masers including some beautifully restored classic plus two 32s, 3 42s and a GS, plus others. Ridgeway Maserati were there giving drives in a diesel Ghibli and gorgeous Stradale. My son said it was the most beautiful car he has...

    Neighbour trouble

    Just spend a very pleasant couple of hours cleaning and pampering the car and was feeling very at peace with the world. Then I fired her up to nip down to Halfords for more cleaning products only to be confronted by a neighbour who lives opposite, in tears. She says she can't cope with the...

    Maserati related Fathers Day gifts

    Hi, just wondering if anybody got any Maserati related Fathers Day gifts or cards - either this year or previous? My son (16) found me this card with a picture of what he thought might be a Maserati on the basis of the style of the name on the back. Not sure if I recognise the car as a...

    A Maserati owner at last

    Yesterday I acquired a beautiful and immaculately maintained Nero/Avorio 4200, formally owned by a leading forum member, via Richard Grace. It hasn't really sunk in yet, but I took the family out for a celebratory pub dinner in it last night and attracted a fair bit of attention in the car...

    Older low mileage vs Newer but higher mileage

    Hi All I'm still taking my time looking for decent 4200 and was wondering if there are pros and cons of going for a newer but higher mileage car vs a low mileage but a few years older? I am mainly looking at facelifts so there are not many years in it, but often quite a range in mileage. Any...

    First drive in 4200 CC and a couple of questions

    Hi guys - I had my first blast in a 4200 today - a medium milage 04. After flooring it a few times exiting roundabouts I now know exactly why forums like this exist! Serious smile factor, not to mention a couple of expletives. I really want one of these although probably not the one I tried...

    On the verge of going 4200 shopping

    Hi All Just discovered this forum and its made me even keener to get a Maserati. Since having a ride a week or so ago in 360 Modena, I have been determined to acquire some Italian exotica. The 360 is not (yet) for me, for loads of reasons, but after days of research I have decided that a...
