Thanks, the patience element was also partly due to lack of funding :-) The car was detailed and looked incredible - although after getting used every day since Saturday it doesn't look like that any more but it's still driving beautifully and even the Mrs is smiling.

Thanks guys. Now onto the more fun part of planning a road trip :-)

After quite a number of significant ups and downs of the last few years, finally it's back in action, albeit 'slightly' over budget :)

That cracked me up!!!! I will show the Wife as she wants a Lamborghini! Her plans are just somewhat delayed / dashed by me not being able to afford one

Actually, I never thought of the fact he could have mistaken me for someone else, clearly not Brad Pitt ha ha. Was very odd but luckily a rare incident, otherwise I think I’d have sold it. I used to have a 911 Cabrio which always got quite a lot of negative attention. On the the flip side we...

I have always had nothing but positive reactions to the Maserati. The DB9 however gets nothing but hatred. Driving up my road I had some old guy with his wife do some strange wrist behaviour and spit on the bonnet. Usually I would put it down to the green eyed monster but I had my 4 year old...

Thanks Gents. It’s looking like a lack of use is the main culprit here! Absolutely fallen in love with the machine again now :-)

Hi Gents, I’ve not posted for a while as after it’s service my car was playing up even when kept on a trickle charger. However after changing the battery, the car has a new lease of life (literally) and the Wife has calmed down from the “why is that thing still on our drive”. She even...

I walked past that only yesterday and wondered where on earth it had gone! Worst experience there a few years ago and we ended up walking out and purchasing elsewhere.

This was a lifesaver, thank you all. I went to start the car and had the padlock warning light (which I’ve never had), thought nothing off it but the car then turned over but would not start, much to the annoyance of my Wife who insisted I should sell it. However, after putting it in on the...

3200GT in Black with tan leather driving past Paddington Station (second one I've seen on that road in recent weeks). Brightened my day.

Saw a navy blue 3200GT trundling past Paddington station in rush hour traffic last week in the pouring rain. Brightened my morning completely and made me think for a very fleeting moment about driving into London rather than taking the train..... I’ll probably start with driving it to the...

LOL. Excellent! A very similar experience this afternoon :-)

Oh my word, what a gorgeous car!!
