    2019 Granturismo question

    Make this call @Paul64 , Dicky will likely save you time and money to get you into the right car and no one understands the market better.

    2019 Granturismo question

    I think this is really simple. For 2019 onward cars the MCs with fixed dampers have a bonnet scoop, central exhausts and a vent in the front wing (see pics). The sports do not have a scoop etc. All are ZF 6 speed full automatics. I looked at both when buying my 2019 sport. You also get...

    Buying a car

    I ordered a box fresh 987.1 3.2S in 2005 when they were launched. A special thing to drive and enjoyed it more than later 911s I owned (997.1. 3.8S, 997.1 3.8 4S Cab, 997.1 Turbo, 997.1 Turbo Cab). Only my current 997.2 3.8 GTS which I’ve owned for 10 years matches it for fun and engagement...

    Buying a car

    I generally know what I want, but I also definitely seek advice to validate that my expectations are valid. But I also try and vet whether the advice is worth listening to or just an echo chamber of people following popular commentary about a particular car. Like those many who say a Porsche...

    Tyre Pressures

    Lucky for me the other half loves painting. I might get dragged into sanding / prep, but then I’m out!

    Tyre Pressures

    Introducing some old school sportsmaserati thread drift, it’s nice to have a dirty car for a week or two as it’s one less excuse not to get out and drive. Mines spotless as well now, but enjoyed 2 and a half weeks of it being filthy and jumping in it at every opportunity :)

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    My GT is grubby for once, which is great as I won’t feel bad taking the family out in it again today in the mucky weather :D

    Maserati UK sales (or rather lack of them)

    I really think the lack of owner support is a massive drag on sales. As mentioned above, the way Porsche approach this is the polar opposite resulting in lots of repeat business and owners with 2 or 3 Porsches. A classic with full dealer support and a brand new SUV or sports car proudly parked...

    Alloy wheel refurb

    If that’s Worcester park in Surrey I lived there for 12 years (the hollands) and still drove to lepsons to get work done! They will also pick up nowadays (they did for me in Horsham recently) if you can remove the wheel yourself and store the car. Worth a call to see if they’ll come to...

    Back Pain! Anyone had problems?

    I should add to minimise strain on your back my version of reverse plank is not to lift your whole body off the floor. Lie on your back, feed flat on the floor with your knees bent, lift your pelvis and lower back off the floor keeping shoulders and arms flat on the floor to help stabilise you...

    Back Pain! Anyone had problems?

    My top tip is core strength. If I do a handful of crunches or reverse planks each day (both easier on your back than sit ups and normal planks) within 3-4 days my back pain eases. Any other core strenght builder and stretches should work just as well so find whatever you find easy and or...

    Granturismo Grancabrio Defroster air vent plate rattle

    For info the MD replaced this vent under warranty. Two clips had broken causing the rattle and to my surprise the factory approved the replacement so I’m rattle free again. They also removed the entire engine to repair an oil leak so I only got the car back yesterday after a 3 week spell at...
