Thanks.
No first Maserati. Had Ferrari, Lambourghini, Porsche etc as well as the more glamorous Renault Clio, Sprinter van etc etc

What are you trying to say Adam...???

On a mental-age basis, Robert, Lee may well have bumped it up 10 or 20 years. Maybe more.

Well I am getting older now (30) so thought a more sober car was in order.

Ha ha. 30 is still very young, as well you know. (Well that's what I try and convince myself anyway LOL)

AdamN said:
Lovely car, Lee. Congratulations. And well done on bringing down the average age of the forum by a few years.

Parisien said:
.....by a good decade.....

Hmmm, I wonder what the average age of a Sports Maserati member is?!? Maybe we need a poll, or will everyone just deduct several years from their true age LOL. (I'm 35, so does that mean I've also brought the average age down?!?)

I bought my (4.2l, base) GranTurismo when I was 31, as a belated 30th Birthday present to myself; so not sure if that counts LOL.
The Lotus Esprit?!? Great choice Andy. Never driven one, but they looked gorgeous (and still do ofc). What was it like to drive?!? Hope you did a better job of driving it than Richard Gere in Pretty Woman!

Lee Jones Jnr said:
Yeah should be able to make that.

That's great news Lee, cheers

Hope you saw the link to the dedicated thread in my previous post(?)

If you don't mind, it would be good to get your thoughts on what the Maser is like c/w the Lambos, Porsches, etc. (I often find it interesting when people compare experiences.)

Cheers,

dickygrace · Apr 5, 2014

I had a 3200 GT, had only just seen the light as had a few 911's beforehand.

Trev Latter · Apr 5, 2014

At 30.. Lotus Sunbeam, 2300HSR Chevette and a Rangie.

Ewan · Apr 5, 2014

At 30 a Ghibli (abs model) was my daily car as the 3200 was still a year away from being introduced in the UK. Had a Lambo Jalpa and a Ferrari 355 spider for sunny days. (No kids back then so didn't need anything with 4 real seats).

safrane · Apr 5, 2014

At 30 I had my Golf mk1...and still do.
