If a car doesn't have bose like a lot of these Strads for sale atm, is it much of a miss? Or does a couple of Halfords speakers bring it up to Bose standard?

Which one is the blue 2 seater?

That sounds great. I also try to live the simple life. I definitely suffer from consumerism when it comes to cars, always looking for the next thing as the buzz of the last wears off. Consumerism is a cause of a lot of suffering in society I think. I follow David Beckham on Instagram and what...

I didn't think I'd find myself being pulled in to this debate on this forum but here we are. I actually think we focus too much on the ultra wealthy. For example, if we think Jeff Bezos has too much money, so we hypothetically take it all away from him and redistribute it evenly across the...

The fact the covid tracking app cost £1bn to develop is insane. It was nothing more than a QR code reader and a backend database. I could've done it and my coding skills are very amateur. Yet I think during the crisis the government had to be seen to be spending enough money on it to show...

It always blows my mind that it's the same car and we're all the same people yet no one wanted the 456 for over £30k, I'd have absolutely adored a CL600 back in 2004. Yet simply because of passage of time I could pick one up for £7k and I don't want one, because it has dated and gone out of...

The dealer bought it off Collecting Cars then it was on AutoTrader a few days later at £60k. https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2015-maserati-granturismo-mc-stradale-1

I wonder if it's the same car that Nuvola had on SoR for months. https://www.nuvolalondon.com/cars-for-sale/maserati-granturismo-mc-stradale-4-7-v8-mc-shift-2dr-coupe-5/

A previous Dicky Grace car: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296245689651 I'd recognise that gravel and tree anywhere

Probably a bit more than this one, maybe £85k: https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2009-ferrari-599-gtb-fiorano-12

I've got my eyes on this: https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2010-ferrari-599-gtb-fiorano-1 Not quite the thread for it, but I'd also be interested to hear your thoughts of your V12S considering you're a staff member of a Maserati forum and previously owned an MC Shift. I'm also considering a...

This car (now sold) lives in my head rent-free: https://www.hangar136.com/vehicle/ferrari-360-modena/ I thought it was overpriced at the time and still do, but oh my word was it lovely in the flesh.

Oh jeez, I had no idea premises were so difficult to find for garages. Hope you find somewhere new soon!

Thanks, this makes a lot of sense and helped curb my temptation. Think I'll go for a Stradale when the time comes. The Red one Dicky has is actually already sold, must've literally got snapped up within a few hours. It was actually perfect spec for a Centennial. Not sure I've ever seen a...
