    You know you own a Maserati when.......

    1 - I go to make a very quick trip into town to pick up a relative that in any other car I'd go shoeless, phoneless and walletless. "I'm off now, back in a couple of minutes, I'm going in the Masterati" Hmm, better get my shoes.....and phone.....and wallet, just in case. :) 2 - You spend...

    Ok, I'm getting hacked off now

    There is someone I sit next to at work who refers to my car as MaseRATi and it's driving me insane! How can I politely and gently inform him of the correct pronunciation without offending him and making him feel a bit dim. He has no regional accent to speak of and says anything else pretty...

    First thick frost for me and my 4200 CC

    We'll it was going to happen. I promised myself I wouldn't drive it in snowy or icy conditions but as I type this I'm Sat inside while I wait for the heater to remove the ice from the inside of the windscreen. I should really get the MG back to 100% after taking some of the interior out, it's...

    when did it become ok to......

    Wear your trousers/jeans so low that I can see over the top of them and between your bare legs. Yes, that's what I saw yesterday in Bournemouth town centre. I suspect he could hear me tutting. Got any of your own like this? Is it my advancing years?

    Missing key and alarm card/label

    Having had some time to scour through the owners manual last night I noted a couple of passages referring to the alarm code and key number. It said these can be found on a card or label somewhere. I've been through the wallet front to back and waggled all the books hoping it may drop out but...

    Personalised number plate removal

    My potential 4200 CC purchase has one of these personalised number plates on and I'm not a fan. I've e-mailed the DVLA form their website about this and I'm awaiting a response but while I wait, does anyone here know the answer to this? Can I, or will they be able to remove this number plate...

    4200 early vs late gerabox

    Me again with more, no doubt, stupid questions. I've been looking about and learning as much as possible as I prepare for the arrival of a 4200 CC but I'm getting slightly conflicting information regarding the gearbox. 1 - Can someone categorically tell me if the gearbox in the 2002-2003...

    4200 Colour combinations

    Me again. I'm still on the hunt for my next car and the wait is killing me so I'm thinking of widening the colour options I'd set myself. Richard Grace is on the job and I'm scouring almost hourly for anything new popping up in the classifieds of Pistonheads, Auto Trader etc... Initially I...

    My first 4200 viewing today

    Well, today was a good start but not really what I was expecting to be honest. I still want one but this wasn't really for me but I'm thinking, am I wrong in my expectations? This is what I went to see -...

    Come si dice......

    When I'm being asked "what's next Mike?" I'm telling them I'm thinking about a Maserati (4200) but how do you go on to describe the model? Do you say Maserati Coupe? That could cover all manner of models so I think not, right? Do you say Maserati 4200? But then is it four two hundred...

    Gearbox location on 4200 GT and Cambiocorsa

    I'm looking at getting a 4200 or possibly a QP shortly but during my research I've come across a stumbling block. Do the 4200 GT and the Cambiocorsa both have the gearbox at the rear, attached to the differential or is the GT gearbox in the conventional position directly behind the engine and...

    Prospective new Maserati owner

    Hello all, I'm a prospective 4200 Cambiocorsa (or similar) owner in South Northamptonshire that is hoping you are all going to put me off:baffle: I'm a serial car changer, changing every 6 to 12 months but this is slowing down and I'm getting older and wiser (really?) and need to settle...
