Friday Night meet. This is NOT my title for the meeting of Italian Cars on Poole Quay in Dorset. UK. The local council chose the name!!!! Having taken my classic Mini Cooper to the 'Mini day' (three weeks ago), I was encouraged to take my car to this event. The popularity of Poole Quay ensured...

I don't remember the last time I posted on here but it's a nice place to be. I did have a look to see who said 'what' about the subject but . . . . . . . like most of the members on this forum, I do like to read the motoring press, though not for the opinions of the writers. However it struck...

Have to say that I love my two older cars. I am fortunate enough to live in Poole and have Emblem on my doorstep; they have looked after the 4200 for nine years now and haven't put a foot wrong; more to the point they treat it as though they owned it. Annual service time and I felt I had seen...

I bought my car from ADG in 2009 and have looked at their website on occasions. Looking today I see no sign of Maserati either in their home page 'piece' nor in their stocklist. Have they found it was easier to work with the more mundane marques (and I mean no disrespect in saying this), rather...

Chaps, I see that I last posted over 3 years ago in March 2012. About time I gave account of myself then. 2011 saw me lose my driving licence for rather extreme speeding and I hold my head in shame (Ha!) - but it was fun. Took a break in 2012 after cancer diagnosis - surgery and a spell of...

Genuine medical record entries from Glasgow Hospital Rectal examination revealed a normal size thyroid A bit **** about face in my opinion. Examination of genitalia reveals that he is circus sized. ...or cirumspect perhaps? She is numb from her toes down. Better to walk on your balls...

In a recent survey requested by the Prime Minister, David Cameron, it has been proved that most Liverpool men are most likely to have had sex in the shower! In this survey, carried out for him by a leading toiletries firm and a major polling agency, a huge majority ( 86% of Liverpool men) said...

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, surely I can't look that old? Well.....you'll love this one! My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his dental diploma, which bore his...

Now I have your attention! On my 60th birthday,I was given a gift certificate from my wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a specialist sex therapist who is rumoured to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction. After being persuaded, I drove to her, handedthe certificate to the...

Well I've kind of put this off, but have my car in with Emblem now for a few days having the underside treated fully with wax-oil and a general tidy-up. It's something that I have to do and it's worth doing as this is a long-termer for me. In other ways the car is being perfect and who better to...

...and you thought you needed TV!

My wife has been missing for well over a week now. The Police-woman said I should prepare for the worst. So I have been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back.

Then I saw that same sweet, poor old lady fall over today on the pavement just up the street from the bank. Well, I presume she was poor - she only had £1.20 in her purse.

I was at an ATM yesterday when a sweet little old lady asked if I could check her balance. 'Of course' I answered. I pushed and she fell over.

My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker. Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend.......yet.

Anyone else done one? This is my second and took it today in Dorset. Apart from relinquishing 3 valuable points, it's also a jolly fine way to refresh the old driving habits. Sure there are some who mock it, but I really do believe it's a great idea. It's not 'education', it's 'training'...

Chaps, I have enough SP30s to shuffle into a suit now nearly. After the traumas of court, I really didn't think it would ever happen again ...until it did. This time; doing 38mph downhill on a dual-carriageway restricted to 30mph ...and outside of a built-up area! Camera van this time...

As mentioned in a previous thread, I took part in a track day on Friday at Longcross Proving Ground in Cobham. Never too late at 60 is it? Some pix are attached for your delectation. OK, so we have the three cars - Black DBS, Red(of course) 458 Italia and the...

Perhaps we have been along this little route before but, yet again I have spent time watching Jeremy Clarkson does what he does best; becomes remote from design as function! He has singularly failed to understand for what purpose the GranTurismo was designed...
