    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    My son in law bought a Tacan 4s Tourer at 125k 2 years ago. Now worth 60k retail forecourt price and was told we do not want it back anyway by Porsche. Beat offer was 45k but as the battery replacement cost is 52k (47 + 5) fitted he is really glad he tried to save the planet.

    I for one am totally convinced the USA did not go to the moon as in 1969 even Alan Sugar had only managed tennis

    MC20 Personal Views

    Just for interest whilst i was in Henly Maserati at Poole on Saturday a yellow fully loaded MC20 spider just registered late last year with very few miles was offered to a cash buyer for 170k and he only agreed the price if they PPF the whole car which they readily agreed to.

    MC20 Personal Views

    Yesterday I enjoyed an extensive test drive in the Granturismo Trofeo. It was in black, one of only two colours you get for free. Black interior etc. Pretty car but the interior although well put together with nice touches is unfortunately like so many other mass produced quality cars. It didn't...

    MC20 Personal Views

    Personally I think the MC20 was too overpriced by 40k to start with and i wouldn't be surprised to see the bottom at around 120k by Xmas but still not for me as the competition ie 458, 488, 610, 911, A10 have all bottomed out and represent a far better investment and in some cases better all...

    Price of new Maserati GT

    A second hand Portofino makes much more sense My thoughts are that the car is not special enough to warrant 175k by the time you specced it pretty as it maybe.

    H&R lowering springs

    Faulkner Springs at Chichester make springs for every competition car and can assess rebound and resistance to give you the perfect set up. Roughly £95 a corner and excellent quality.

    Ferrari Brave Pill

    Had no issues with my Cali roof and on Fchat California section it is not a regular problem. I suppose if you try to raise it whilst doing 30mph the strain may alter the alignment but that is a service item (roof function) when the main dealer has it or at least when mine had it. Complex it may...

    Ferrari Brave Pill

    After owning a few F cars over the years and listening to all the chit chat from people dressed in red from top to toe who think they are cool looking like a bill boards I have deduced that for anyone dipping into the Ferrari brand on a budget you have to consider what you want from it? Kudos...
