Can't argue with that. Is this another thread on what rubber should be fitted?

Also a recent QPV owner and loving it ! Splashed out a bit for some discs and pads and some impending suspension bushes, but anticipated an early ish spend based on the ridiculous price I got it for !
Remember - anyone on the road who drives anything other than a Maserati wishes they were you, when they see you driving yours.

So - my car arrived yesterday and I had a very enjoyable drive down to the coast for an hour and a half 
It needs a few things attending to, which the dealer is going to sort out when I take it back in a couple of weeks but my word... the drive!
I had it in manual (not a fan of fully automatic - I like to feel a little more in control of the gears) and it was such a pleasure to drive. Still getting used to the size of the car (and the power of the engine!) but it's such good fun to drive. I'll be taking it on the ferry to Jersey this weekend... in Sport mode the whole weekend, I imagine!
Couple of pics attached - one is from the dealer and the other is one I snapped after my drive yesterday.

Yes agree with all of the compliments given to you
I notice you said you were getting used to the physical size.
Well I have been driving one since February and you are dead right.
They are longer than you expect and a little bit wider, all in all a big car so take care in tight places
Also agree they are understated vehicles, one reason why I love mine
Another tip is you often get envious bad drivers that must show they can overtake a Maserati so watch out for those too
good luck
