    Chipex or similar

    I'm going to change the daily but it's a bit battle scarred. Has anyone used Chipex or a similar product and how easy is it for a novice to use before I get Chipsaway to come and sort. Cheers,

    Random 'Park Off' warning

    Occasionally, I get the 'Park Off' warning coming up on the dash whilst driving. It always happens a few minutes after start up and the EPB seems to be working. Thinking about it, it generally comes on the day after I've driven for a while. I've checked the battery connections and they are all...

    Italian cars at the Motorist - 19 August

    One of the regular car meets at the Motorist features Italian cars on 19 August. https://www.themotorist.com/event-items/c43hpz6726tw3f5mzc94pnl6j7maez I’m popping along in the morning if anyone else fancies it. Otherwise I’ll be the one decent car in a sea of lowered Abarths and wonky donkeys.

    Centennial wheel centres

    As those on the recent trip know, some French lowlife helped himself to one of the Centennial centre caps from my car. So a big thanks to Ross at Meridien for sourcing some from Maserati (I've bagged a couple of spares) and, applying the forum discount, a mere £50 each (ouch). The surface is...

    Ferrari Purosangue

    First official images and info released tonight. It looks like a Ferrari I think and I might be tempted if I was in the market for a £300k+ SUV - sorry it's not an SUV apparently. https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/first-official-pictures/ferrari/purosangue/

    Maserati in good customer care shock

    I was invited to join Maserati Insiders which is essentially market research into their EV future and involves some online surveys. Having done a few I was sent a Pininfarina 'pen' which retails at £125. TBH it's not much use as a pen but is a very nice desk ornament. I was then invited to give...

    Another mislabelled Centennial

    Cryptotrading

    With the collective’s wide experience I wondered if anyone had had any dealings with Terra Markets both good and bad. We are exploring whether to invest with them and as you would expect what they are saying sounds almost too good to be true. DM if you’d prefer. TIA

    Sports cars in the park - Newby Hall, Ripon - 8 May

    This is always a pretty good and well attended show in a lovely location in North Yorkshire. They had sorted previous problems with getting in and also clamped down on the rev offs and loud music last year so it was a good event. Newby itself is a very pleasant place to spend a Sunday with...

    North Devon accommodation

    We've been invited to a wedding near Tiverton at the end of April and want to make a few days of it. We are sorted at the venue for Friday and Saturday but I'm looking for somewhere nice to stay on the Thursday. I fancy driving over part of Exmoor so recommendations for nice roads also welcome...

    Maserati returns to racing

    But in Formula E. Seems a strange choice when most of the other big manufacturers are leaving. https://www.maserati.com/international/en/news/maserati-back-to-racing-formula-e?utm_campaign=FormulaE&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social-owned&utm_content=backtoracing

    (Sir) Kevin Sinfield

    What a man! As well as being a world class rugby player and top coach, what he is doing to fund raise for research into MND for Rob Burrow is incredible. After running 7 marathons in 7 days last year rating £2.7m in the process, he has just run 101 miles from Leicester's ground to Headingley in...

    One for the Mods

    Nilanadar588 offering nude photos through DM. Came through SportAlfa.com. No doubt appropriate action will be taken - and I don't mean clicking the link!

    SPORTSCARS IN THE PARK, Newby Hall, North Yorks - 1 August 2021

    After many delays and cancellations, SCITP is up and running again taking place as above. It's always a massive show with some interesting metal (both good and bad!) there in a lovely setting. Getting in can be lengthy although they claim to have sorted this out this year. They also say they are...

    Festival of Speed - newbie advice

    As above, I'm going to FoS next week for the first time so wondered if the collective had any advice to be borne in mind? We are staying in Eastergate about 15 mins east so which car park is best, what time to arrive/leave, things essential to see etc. TIA.

    New Granturismo

    Released by Maserati. Electric only but at least it looks like a Granturismo. https://www.media.maserati.com/en-ww/releases/1634

    NORTH OF ENGLAND MEET? 22nd JULY 2021

    Thought I would gauge interest in a gathering in the north(ish) so I'll put forward a proposal for Thursday 23rd July starting late pm/early evening. The date is purely selfish as a day that I can do! A number of us went here https://www.3acres.com a few years ago and it's got a big car park...

    Centennial Stradale

    Picked this up on Wednesday but a combination of work and pants weather prevented a proper exploitation until this evening. Went out on a well known and favourite route and the car is a completely different beast to the Sport Auto. Handles and stops much better and the ride on the fixed...
