    Best outdoor car cover?

    I've got a QP-sized Auto Cover languishing in the garage while my QP sits uncovered on the drive. Living on a hill, the wind whips about up here. So while the cover was tethered and weather resistant, it kept getting forcibly repositioned by the wind, resulting in me abandoning it.

    A few of us on here like a little French car

    Very cool, but a lot of money for a Citroen!: https://www.ddclassics.com/used/cars/citroen/ds/21-berline-chapron-majesty-226

    Love this. The photorealism reminds me of 'The White Dame': https://automobilist.com/en-gb/products/the-white-dame-artwork?variant=44617865101587&gad_source=1 I was looking for a picture for my study, but c. £3k for the large one is too rich for me.

    Love it! But Day 1 of ownership for me would be removing the Monteverdi graphic.

    Issue following battery change - 2009 Quattroporte

    When my battery went dead last year, the alarm worked for a bit after the car wouldn't start, but then eventually that stopped working too and the car sealed itself like a tomb. The only way in was through the boot. The RAC used their diagnostics to check for any issues and then installed a new...

    Classics at the Villa 12th May!

    Gutted that I've been informed I'm required elsewhere on that Sunday so won't be able to attend after all. :-(

    Biturbos/number cars/Ghibli IIs for sale

    I met the owner of that '97 QPIV at a car event last year. He said he was a mechanic and sorted all the issues having bought it at auction. It looked fantastic and drew a lot of attention from the good folk of Chesham.

    Anyone in South Cambs/ North Herts good car meet.

    Ah good call, Nibby. Think my QPV is inelligible - too young by a couple of years - but will see if I can cadge a lift with CLEST instead.

    Hello from SE London/Kent

    Would also recommend Giallo - Matthew is very knowledgeable, as Alan says, and helped me fix the essentials on my QP shortly after I purchased.

    Anyone in South Cambs/ North Herts good car meet.

    No worries, Nibby. Hope to see you there next time. I missed this month's meet, assuming it went ahead, but will be aiming to attend in May. If they weather stays fine I might head down to Hatfield House today for a AMOC meet - I love an old Aston.

    MOT shame.

    Last week's MOT confirms 1,440 miles for my QPV over the past 12 months. I reckon that's c. £2.18 per mile (assuming no depreciation!!). Not a bad year. Upping the mileage would help the cost per mile, if not the resale value. :-)

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    x2 Calculated that the QPV cost £2.18 per mile over the last 12mths. (Worth every penny BTW!) As a comparison, our ancient V70 is about 38p!

    That's not a Corsa. That's a Fiat! :-)

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    Got a fresh MOT on the QPV courtesy of the good folk at Barr-Tech (recommended by the way) and passed this milestone on the way.

    Quattroporte for sale

    I've got the same model with all the same features except piano black interior trim. Mine was registered in Dec 07, so likely was on the production line at the same time as @Dandydons. Eb - you've parked next to it at Villa Scalabrini!! Looks like a lovely car at a great price - GLWTS

    2024 - Fantasy F1

    Just resurfaced having unexpectedly watched the race live. Woke up randomly at 3.50 and thought I might as well catch the start. Padded downstairs to find my son watching the build up - not a bad effort considering he got in at 1am!!
