Hi guys,
Just thought I'd pop in to say hi. I'm not a Maserati owner yet, however they've always been my favourite luxury car marque and my go to for those "what car would you buy if you had £150k" conversations. Something about them makes me prefer them to Ferarri and Aston etc - the styling just clicks, and they stand out more. They just radiate such a wonderful debonair character to me.
A client of mine has an MC Stradale, and whenever I see it I fall a little bit more in love with that silver trident. He also just bought a 3200 for his wife, and chatting to him about it I found out how accessible these cars might be to me one day soon - I had no idea what 3200's, 4200's and Quattroportes can go for and how well they can treat their owners. I always imaged they were beyond my reach, perhaps not so! Thus far I've been an enthusiastic Land Rover owner, and I can't see that ending. I'd love to keep my current 2004 Discovery 2 for adventures and rough and tumble for which it is fantastic, and then have a V8 thoroughbred when I need to turn up somewhere in style or just want to make love to the road on a summer evening .
Because of years of Land Rover ownership, I am no stranger to spanners and scan tools. Though I don't know how much I'd be able to do myself, I'm sure they are a few levels above the fettling I've been doing but if I was able to do basic servicing then that would go a long way to giving the impression of this being a sensible goal (though of course my better half is wise to it really, and indulges me generously.) Anyway, I've signed up to soak as much information up as possible. So I'll mostly be lurking and reading up as I always like to be fully informed before committing to something. It'll be a while before I can seriously think about saying yes to the heart, but maybe one day I'll be posting an "I did it!" thread.
See you around, this looks like a great forum.
Will.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I'm in Warwickshire. In case there's anything interesting going on locally.
