Where do you live and what do you do ?

[Mr.Cambio]

Based in Athens, but i'm looking for another land, mainly german speaking, as i feel it suits me more. It's chaos here, the people and the services.
I'm a mining engineer.Building industry for me, now at public works. As i'm young and restless, my mind thinks of several more things to do. Time will tell. No marriage yet, but time gets close (you'll be informed ) ).
Love to make trips in a car (a fast one), love to visit green and blue places (forests and lakes). When things go right, i become a workaholic.
Two years ago i restarted my life, re job, family, friends etc. It was stressy cause i did them all in once. But i survived and now things have got their right way for me.

I live in Cardiff, and have done so all my life. I recently moved to about 300 yards from where my Dad was born.
Mechanical/Electrical engineer by trade, although I'm now retired, still have a small part time business, mobile vehicle
Air-con.
Have worked most of my life in Motorsport, still compete in Historic Rallying.
Love my 3200 GT, I've owned lots of fast cars in my time, but this is probably the best all round GT car I've ever driven.

Out and out petrolhead from an early age initially hot Fords but then got the Alfa bug but after having had close to 100 thought it was time to move up to Maserati.

[maverick]

Born in Hayes, Middlesex, 42 years ago and now living in Reading with my partner Nancy (from France). I work as an Engineer for a company called Gemini technology which specialises in the design and manufacture of special purpose machinery in the research market (AWE, Sellefield, Barrow in furnace, RAF Burfield, Public health England and CERN, to name but a few) also a supplier to moz1000 company. I've always loved cars and had too many to mention, also an active interest in property development, which had led us to buying our own cottage in France (available to rent ;-).

 

[Catalan3200]

Now 57, own and run a Spanish Restaurant in Warwick. Working on expanding the business into next door property as a wine bar but being thwarted at every turn by the landlord (Warwick District Council). Lifestyle business after 20+ years in the print, direct mail & print management (MAF) industry in the UK, Belgium and Chicago.

Health scare in 2000 was behind the change - chucked the job, sold the house, bought a restaurant & grew my hair.

Been with Julie since we were both 16. 2 sons, one just married (same weekend as the Maserati Centenary in Modena - grrrrr) on Martha's Vineyard - he lives in Boston. Other son works with me at the restaurant.

20 years of company cars saw me go mad as soon as I could choose my own, so in the last 10 years have had a selection of Alfas, HondaS2000s a 3200GT, Merc CL500 and now a 4200CC & a Merc SL500 (for the Mrs).

Works for me.

[Morebeans]

44, soon to be 45, live just outside of Newbury with my wife and son, and I am originally from Southampton. Good at man maths, hence I can justify to myself the economics of my passion!

Retired after earning some dosh in the oil and gas industry and my QP was one of the rewards
Maserati is the Ebola of the car world, once you have the bug there is no cure

[Chrisbassett]

Live in gospel oak, London (everyone calls it "Hampstead borders" because that's the kind of person I have as neighbours) - moved down the hill from Hampstead Heath earlier this year. Business & IT change consultant for asset managers and banks. Been doing it for 20-odd years now and still enjoy it. There's a move to the Far East on the cards at some point, but it keeps moving further & further away at the moment.

Father of a three year old still hoping for sleep one day, but it's great to look at the moon with new eyes and share his joy.

Maserati-free for two months now, but getting very bored with that situation very rapidly! Therapy is helping, but expensive - probably better off spending the money on a Spyder.

 

[Felonious Crud]

Home is in north-east Essex and I run myself ragged as regional gaffa of a small/mid-sized Scandinavian software and services company which has its feet planted firmly in the world of TV and entertainment. My main office is in London and a fairly short walk from the underground car park under Hyde Park which has the best acoustics and some of the best automotive eye-candy of any car park in London. Shame that the only time it makes sense to drive in is if you get in before 7am and leave after 8pm. My other office is in Stockholm which would probably be a good drive. Perhaps something to think about in spring. .

 

[Doohickey]

48 now. Born and brought up on Tyneside (and have the black and white scars to prove it) but lived in Leeds for over 25 years. Married with 16 year old son. Work for a large property development company mainly involving commercial property. Finally taken the plunge on a long held ambition of Maserati ownership and enjoying every moment.
