    I'll take a Ghibli .......

    From what I have seen this is exactly what I have been waiting for .... an "affordable" new Maserati with a comprehensive warranty that I could drive everyday. Although I say that with some caveats. Like some I need to see it in the flesh, and am gutted by the totally uninspiring engine bay...

    Keen to hear what my car sounds like from the outside I got my teenage son to video the car this morning - and using his modest Panasonic photo camera he took a couple of short clips and created this montage - it is a new hobby of his and a good first attempt I thought...

    >2004 QP values - where will they go?

    As someone who has been able to take advantage of the natural depreciation of big cars (The QP and my 2007 Range Rover Sport) I just wondered at what point the early cars will effectively bottom out on the depreciation stakes? 2004 cars are around £23,000 - £25,000 independants 2005 cars...

    Car park ticker - ****! Any appeal do you think?

    I have my Range Rover registered with ringgo for car parking - you turn up; call them, and it gets done by CC. The trouble is today we took the QP and so the registration plate was not registered - now have a ticket! Any appeal you think? After all, I did pay my £7.80 fee .... Marc
