    ECU re-programming?

    Has anyone had their ECU re-programmed to optimise either performance or (dare I say it..) fuel consumption, or both? I notice on some other car forums performance and economy seem to be enhanced. Is this feasible with 4200's? Has anyone tried it? What results have you obtained and would you...

    Beautiful Merak ad

    Distracted at work, I found this stunning Blue Merak for sale - low miles and sounds very well looked after. The colour looks great. I've measured up and it would fit in my garage.... http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C311523 I thought it might be of interest. Now I'd better get back to...

    Facelift 4200 CC - 2004, 49,000 miles -£17,750

    I have decided to sell my 4200, to fulfil my long held dream of a Ferrari. I suspect I will look back and consider this the best car I've ever owned - effortless performance, F1 gearbox and four proper seats. Any way - it is being advertised on Pistonheads and CarandClassic. Brief details...

    Khamsin ad spotted

    I was browsing, as I do now and then, and came across this beautiful Khamsin for sale (£40k). Sounds like a good pedigree and good order, last owner for 18 years etc. Might be worth a drool over the keyboard, or if anyone been sufficiently inspired by Bal's (aka Khamsin433) project...

    Merak SS with rebuilt engine, anyone?

    I was just browsing, when I came across this Merak ad - looks to have had a lot of work done (recent engine rebuild, previously gearbox rebuld etc). It looks like a sensible asking price, to me. Does anyone know the car? Go on, someone at least take a look it, before it starts disrupting...

    What, no Maseratis in Italy?!

    I was on holiday last week and spent three days in Italy (Sicily, Naples to Pompei, then Rome). I didn't see any Maseratis, at all! I only saw two Ferraris (within two minutes of each other in Central Rome) - a head-turning red Testarossa and a more discreet black 599, which blended in with...

    How fast is it, Mr (or Ms)?

    I went to a party this evening for my niece's 20th birthday (yes, I left very early). Word got out (not from my lips, I promise) that I had just bought a Maserati. First two questions - 1) What did you buy? - A - '4200, Very pleased with it, plenty of space inside.' 2) Is it fast? - A -...

    Diagnostic fault reader?

    Hi, Looking on E-Bay, I see there are quite a few diagnostic fault readers, claiming to be compatible with Maseratis. I see these as being a way to identify what are a) insignificant issues that can be 'saved up' for the next visit to the local indy, vs b)the serious issues that need sorting...
