Just returned for our yearly trip to LE-MANS. At the top of the Arnarge there was a yellow Maserati 4200 and a Blue conv, the Blue conv sounded fantastic!!! any one know what exhaust system/engine mods it has or is the owner a member?? The car received more cheers and clapping the most of the other models. I was talking to a guy from the Forum (sorry can not remember his name) who had came over with his mate in a Ferrari and i think he said the lad was a Sports Maserati member. There was a good turn out from Maserati owners at the weekend, two Grandturismo at the same site we were stopping on. We booked with Speed Chills and lodged at Le Point Romain about 5km from the track and were very pleased with the package. My 3200 drove spot on there and back, total of 1250miles and a few gallon of petrol. I had just had the gearbox done at Autoshield and it was the fist time it had been on a long run. French toll roads are superb, pot hole free, flat and very smooth, ideal roads to give the car a blast.

Yellow car was my GranSport. Probably sounded like a Prius in comparison to Benny's fanfare!

Naw.....Mark, you could rely on the impact of a hunkered down yellow GS, streaking past as being just as much of a statement!!!

That was me travelling with Frank in his 360 Modena apolagies again for thinking you guys were Scottish!
Ians car was the loudest by far and we were behind him when he launched it.
Being a mechanic i felt for the clutch i just hope he flys the planes like he drives his Maserati.

Not when it's pouring smoke! It gripped a lot better after it nearly caught fire but the car stank for ages after and burnt clutch is not nice.

Here is the hooligan that drove the loud Spyder, as you can see, the noise has taken its toll on the poor bu99er:
