I am not one for electric cars. However I came across this video of a Ghibli conversion. I have seen their Testarossa they did, but this seems deeply impressive. The owner could not get a replacement engine so went electric. Amazed that they can still use the existing gearbox and clutch, so in...

Hi guys, Found the passenger window stuck on its drop level when you open /shut the door.. However, there is no power and there is no “clicking sound” when I try to operate it from both the driver and passenger window control switch…. All other 3 windows work perfectly… I don’t think it’s the...

As the title asks,,, anyone had experience with them? May move on an older car where I know a couple of bits are not up to scratch…. Do they go over the whole car in minute detail? Do they drive it etc? Just so I know whether to go down this route or not. Cheers! Stu

hi guys, So the project QP has been driving very oddly since I had the disks and pads changed. Had a full investigation today and seems that’s all four shock absorbers are shot to pieces and I also need upper front wishbone arms. Ouch! Lancasters do not have them in stock and have told me...

Normally do not watch these but actually found the whole thought process interesting and totally agree with his comments on the MC20. I could not work out why I did not like it and he’s made me realise why this is. Thoughts? Comments? Stu

Morning all, Took the “project” QPV out last Friday around the M25 whilst looking for a first car for my daughter and realised that the brakes are totally *******! Huge amounts of judder under heavy breaking and total lack of stopping power. As I only usually use the car to pootle to the local...

Found some time to clean the GC and put her into hibernation mode

I don’t need a Lambo or Bugatti or McLaren P1, I need this!! https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/radford-62-2-retro-coachbuilt-special-lotus-v6-power Wow, just love coachbuilding. If the engineering is spot on, it will be amazing. The V6 is a great engine and had it on my Evora...

…. raise the front seat headrests??? Know it may be a stupid question but since getting my ”project” car, can not for the life of me raise the headrest on both the driver and passenger seats, so being 6’3”, the headrest is on my neck!! Do they even raise? I can‘t believe they do not as all...

Hi guys, I will put together a proper post about my new “project” but have been using said “project” over the past few weeks. However tonight the manual handbrake cable (it‘s a DuoSelect) snapped so the lever is flappy/loose but the biggest problem is that the brake is “on” so I can not move...

Hi guys, So got my wife’s grancab out of the barn after having been in hibernation for six months. Started her up and all working great. Note, had her on a Halfords solar charger since the end of September and the battery charge did not go down below 90% which I think is great! Anyway, the...

Hi all, Going through a bit of a collection change (too many cars to try before I croak it) and sold a couple of cars over the past couple of months and on the look-out for some replacements, I got thinking about how many private sales (person to person - no dealer involved) happen each year in...

So as you know, sold my Strad to Stan (Slay) last November and became Maserless for the 1st time since 2005 (it was a good run)... Anyway, starting a start-up in Zurich (yes a glutton for punishment) so need a daily driver for the weekly airport run. Went to see one and decided that I missed a...

Can’t stay away and am noodling a bonkers idea but may require a good car finance person to assist.... I know we have mentioned a couple of people on here a few months ago but can’t find the thread (Adam, sure you mentioned someone) so if anyone has good contacts, pls feel free to reply here or...

Hey guys, As you know, I sold the Strad to Stan (Slay) back in November and up to that date, I have always had a Maserati since the end of 2004. 14 years is not bad! Bought all my cars new (mug!) but now I am sitting here reading SM thinking,,, “bloody badge has got under my skin like my...

..... this in the post today. Glad she went to a good home though... First time Maserati-Los in 14 years

See the link below from Harry’s new Garage vid. So couple of points- 1) anyone know how they got it so much louder than the GTS, even my Strad is not that loud. Have seen a couple of other videos and they all seem to confirm to my ear at least that they seem louder 2) How much??? Did not...

So has some time this weekend to put the Strad and Evora to bed for the winter.. So thought i’d chuck a couple of shots in.. Still not sure if I should or should not sell the Strad. Stu

Hi all, Following on from my post last week, I have now decided to move on the MC Stradale. I accepted the dealer offer albeit for GBP 2K less at GBP 57,500 as: 1) I need new tyres on the Strad as I have a nail in the rear that needs replacing. So easier that they take the car as is rather...

Still can't work out how the touch screen actually works even though i accept that there is a touch screen overlay on top of the existing screen. I'll be getting me one of these baby's. I have apple CarPlay in my forester and it's great. See the YouTube video in the article. Thoughts...
