    Right, have cash need (want) car!

    PH They say they will offer 3 months / 3000 miles as part of any sale. Beyond that I suspect Im looking at a 3rd party job.......or just stash some cash away every month in my mattress! It's apparently has been serviced by Maranello, JCT, Prospeed and Giallo, but I need to see the detail etc...

    Right, have cash need (want) car!

    Thanks chaps, have spoken to them about it, and sounds interesting. I need to find time to zip down to view. Oh, what did maserati change to the cc box, and how is it better?

    My first 4200 viewing today

    Went to view my first 4200 the other day, and like you was disappointed. It amazes me how little prep work had been done just to make the car look clean......door shuts, various easily accessible channels etc under the bonet were full of leaves and crud, and with some screws missing here and...

    The need for Spe......oh I mean information

    Thanks for the feedback chaps, although obviously differing oppinions. Although it sounds strange I'm really wrestling between the QP and the GT, both beautiful but different cars. Although Ive had some interesting sports cars over the years I find most of the time i'm in the car on my own with...

    BMW R 1200 GS Adventure

    Great bikes (Ive had 2) but they are no sports bike. If you want a bike thats comfy for day long riding, then it will tick that box. However.....expensive, not as well made as some of the competition, a little boring, and quite common. Have you considered a Ducati Multistrada, or Aprilia Caponord?

    A convertible.

    You cant go far wrong with a S2000, bulit proof engine, just need to drive it like a two stroke! Early ones are a little "snappy", otherwise take a look at S2Ki forum here http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/forum/25-uk-ireland-s2000-community/ OK, Ive had two of them, and would have another if I...

    The need for Spe......oh I mean information

    Hello. Yes my first post. Well Im begining to be seriously obsessed about getting into a Maserati. Whilst a fairly recent affliction, i'm a sponge for information. Whilst I suspect most of my answers lie here somewhere, It would save hours, and probably my eyesight, if I could ask some direct...
