It really was a special day ZepI think nothing (yet) beats the reaction we had when we parked our cars in the harbour at Portofino. There was a TV news crew in attendance!
LOL! I've noticed this.. this is really a dudes car.. meaning dudes (and little kids) know what this is. Most females don't. Although.. I did have an older lady give me a compliment today and then asked "Does it do 185?".. LOL.QP's don't get much but if they see the tridents sometime get a stare. One just on another forum claimed he got 5 girls' number in one trip but I don't believe him, most girls don't know an Aston from an Austin.
The thing that impresses people most is the electric rear window blind........
I think with the QP you have to nail the spec. My car is a white QP6 GTS with 21 inch titanos and gets attention especially when I drive in manual sport mode. If the spec is understated it can be a fairly under the radar car. I don't think the 4.7 QP5 GTS would be under the radar either with the noise and nice rims.Locals must be shy around here. Nobody came to look!!
One of the first reactions to my new Maserati,a hoon in a Holden ute leaning way out of the driver's window shouting,"Fckin rich cnt". Quite a complement to a poor punter who was near penniless after paying for the car,I felt a warm glow & the conviction that I'd chosen my car wisely.
That made me laugh when I read what the hoon in the ute said. Prior to buying my Gransport, which is a weekend toy, I had a Falcon XB GS 351 which I restored. Always got waves and people wanting to chat about it wherever I stopped. Other car drivers would get out of my way etc... But now in the Gransport people seem to get in the way and block me if I want to overtake. No one waves or nice comments. Doesn't bother me, I love the Gransport. The funny thing is no would call out F... Rich C.. if you were in a XY GTHO which is worth ten times what my Gransport is.One of the first reactions to my new Maserati,a hoon in a Holden ute leaning way out of the driver's window shouting,"Fckin rich cnt".

I'd not had my ol' GTS long when someone yelled "Midlife crisis!" at me. Which is odd, because Martin and I look nothing like one another.
