    Maserati 3200GT Manual (2001)

    Thanks Adam and Andy. The car's in great condition and I really hope I can find it a good home with someone who'll keep it that way. Funny how you get attached to some cars...

    Maserati 3200GT Manual (2001)

    With some reluctance I've decided to sell my 2001 (Y reg) Maserati 3200GT. I have owned it for a year and a half and in that time it has never let me down. I would love to keep it but I just don't get the time to drive it as much as it deserves (I've only 3000 miles in the 18 months I've owned...

    Sports Maserati Northern meet.

    Sorry for not replying sooner, I've been away on business for the past 3 weeks. With my job I can get sent abroad at a moments notice but as long as I'm in the country on the 11th then I'll be there. I can be there any time from about 14:00 onwards. List updated... Sports Maserati...

    Microfibre cloths - fantastic new deal!

    I received my pack of micro-fibre cloths a couple of days ago. I haven't had a chance to try one on the car yet but they look excellent quality and great value for money. Thanks again Mark for posting them so promptly.

    Whose Maserati has the highest mileage.

    Your 94k miles beats mine hands down - only 76k on my 3200GT. So long as they are properly maintained and serviced I don't see any need to get nervous just because 100k miles is approaching. From my own experience I'd say that some of the most relaible cars are those that have been used...

    Site very slow?

    The same for me; Sports Maserati pages taking forever to load and no probs with any other sites.

    Sports Maserati Northern meet.

    If you mean the one with the registration number something like 89 JR then he lives next door to a friend of mine - only found that out the other day. Apparently he bought it brand new and uses it everyday as his daily driver. You may see it up for sale soon as he's thinking of selling it...

    Sports Maserati Northern meet.

    The Derby Pool location is good for me, I'm just over an hour from there and it looks like just the place - plenty of parking and opportunity for a few car photos. I've added me to the list of interested members: Emtee. LeeH? Adam? dickygrace? 2B1ask1? sibradbury. Steve B

    Monthly Midland/Northern meet in Northampton

    Unfortunately not far enough north for me, still a 200+ mile round trip. A lot closer than Ace though so I'd try to get to a meet every so often. Great for everyone in the Midlands though and as Loz says it would be good to support a members new business.

    Car Cover Wanted

    Hi Roger, There's a company called Classic Additions who I've heard make excellent quality car covers both for indoor and outdoor use. They're more expensive than some but from what people tell me they are worth the money. I'm toying with the idea of getting a custom soft indoor cover...

    Maseratis - Spotted

    M1 north bound junction 13 yesterday at about 11:00am - 60 plate blue Gran Turismo. Didn't get to waive as I was in the mini so that would have been weird.

    Manual Transmission Gear Linkage

    One of the jobs I plan on doing whilst waiting for the better weather to return is to improve the smoothness of the gear change between 1st and 2nd on my manual transmission. From what I've read the gear linkage needs to adjusted regularly - every 6 months if the car is a daily driver. If...

    my 159 is for sale

    I know Dan and Ben very well, don't recognise Christians name but probably would know him if I saw him. I'll have a look on the intranet and see if I can find any info on the open evenings and send it to you if I come across anything. You've certainly got a lot more relevant experience...

    my 159 is for sale

    It's a small world, I work in the Powertrain department so I sit just across the office from the Powertrain Systems guys. Unknowingly I've probably seen you there when you were doing your placement. You should definitely come along to the open evening and get some details of the...

    my 159 is for sale

    Yes I'm an engineer at Bentley and that sounds almost exactly what I did. When I first started work at Bentley I owned my own car for a couple of years so I was a bit older when I had my first lease car. Over the past few years I've had Golf GTi's, Seat Leon Cupra's, Audi A3 2.0TFSi's etc and...

    my 159 is for sale

    I've had several cars through the Bentley car scheme and it's certainly the cheapest way to drive a brand new car. The monthly lease isn't too bad but the insurance really pushes the price up. You have to insure them through one of two approved companies and they aren't at all competitive with...

    Microfibre cloths - fantastic new deal!

    Hi Mark, I'll be the first to confess that I'm obsessive when it comes to cleaning my car. That's a great deal! You can definitely put me down for a pack, let me know when you've priced up the postage. Many thanks, Steve
