Good evening to you all,

For some reason it has taken me since December of 2016 to create an account on here. I currently own a 2008 QPV Sport GT, and I suppose like many on here, I have had my ups and downs.

Mostly ups, though i could do without the first points on my licence I picked up a few months in.

The car though, has been a real peach. Drove to Liverpool last year to play car of the bride for a fellow Maserati enthusiast, and have been a regular at AutoItalia and Festival Italia.

TPMS issues? Yes, but quickly fixed at home. Tyres? The third set of rears go on next week, along with a full laser geometry setup. Had few issues with specialists, but have also found them really helpful. On the servicing front, I think calm and patience paid off with a good local company.

Phil and Stew from Liverpool, it's me (finally) say hello!

That's me for now, but pleased to be here.

Welcome Nick...Lovely QP you have there. The best value Maserati you can buy. So much car for the money and one of Maserati's best looking cars of recent years. Enjoy.

Nick. you finally made it!!

Yes, we had a hoot at the wedding especially when you decided to floor it at the lights and I had to follow! I'm still in contact with Phil although not spoken in a while. I see your still in love with your lovely QP. We are coming down to London for a week soon if you fancy a hook up?!
I have a picture of you, Phil and I somewhere but this will do for now.

Morning Stew,

Yes finally made it. That was a great day the two of us driving for the wedding. We certainly turned some heads going through the countryside. Would be nice to meet up, so let me know when you are down. If you happen to be driving down I can offer free secure parking literally in the centre of London.

Speak soon,

Nick
