    New arrival

    So about 7 years after registering interest in the Alfieri and 18 months after placing an order, my Mc20 arrived out of the blue in typical style (4 months late but 2 weeks earlier than new date). I've only managed a hundred miles in the wet, but so far I'm very happy and impressed. This is my...

    Goodwood driving

    Had a great track day at Goodwood last week in the Guilia QF. With the super sticky P Zero Trofeos I was able to get some decent laps in. A guy in a Lotus who followed me was kind enough to post this.

    New Maserati sports car launch next year? - not Alferi

    The guy who showed me the Levante Trofeo at the FOS on Friday claimed that there will be a new Mas sports car next year and that he couldn't give any more details on it as he was under an NDA. I am sceptical to be honest! Looks like the new Alfa 8C and GTV are delayed by the way. They are...

    Ghibli Restoration - slow progress but getting there

    So its been more than two years since I bit the bullet and started the full restoration of my 1969 4.7 Ghibli. She was resale red with black interior. Stripping to bare metal revealed accident damage from the early 1990's and a cheap fix with filler. There are no panels available so the metal...

    Why can't Maserati do the simple stuff?

    I now understand why people don't choose Maserati when they do toe to toe with the German manufacturers. Took the Levante in for a service. Took them 3 days to tell me it needed a new tyre. Only issue was there were none in the UK. Would take 5 days to get from Italy. Car delivered back to me...

    Ive joined the flatbed club

    Clutch shattered in a spectacular way in Brighton. Three hours at the side of the road but on way home now. I guess 47 years isn't bad for a clutch.

    MCV at Goodwood

    Had a great day at Goodwood yesterday. Me and a friend managed nearly 60 laps which was a full tank of petrol. Track was almost empty as it was a private day arranged by a car dealer. Its a great circuit - very fast but some tricky parts. The car held up brilliantly, little or no brake fade or...
