    The genuine deflector folds. I'm still looking for one...bought John's car and cover but missed the deflector unfortunately.

    dash-cam: worth it?

    Would not be without a dashcam. Caught my neighbours knocking my GC when parking after only a week of ownership and before I found indoor temp controlled storage. Tbh a minor tap that dislodged one sensor - SI sorted it but everything paid by the fat.... 's insurance. They visibly scowl at us...

    Stolen (by me!) - but now taxed - New 4200 Owner + New + New

    Agreed - I got them from dman with a special SI logo I’m surprised they weren’t in the car - perhaps they are still in my garage! I won’t be in Dorset for a couple of months now but will let you know if I do find them. They will of course be practically new!

    Stolen (by me!) - but now taxed - New 4200 Owner + New + New

    The light I am referring to was like a hook, as if the car was on a tow hook, if that makes sense. No other lights came on for me. A battery disconnect in the boot for over 30 mins might help?

    PS I do think that sky hook worked as I used to take it out of sport when I hit the m5 it was defo a softer ride

    Stolen (by me!) - but now taxed - New 4200 Owner + New + New

    The car was garaged during my ownership without access to electricity (@Lozzingers will tell you how dodgy it looked, buying a car from a bloke at a bunch of garages, having already paid lol). I therefore disconnected the battery every time after use (think I only did 1k miles in total??) and...

    Stolen (by me!) - but now taxed - New 4200 Owner + New + New

    Wow, it feels weird seeing such an intrinsically great car going thru owners so regularly, especially when the GC has not even been on the road meantime! Enjoy the car @soprano

    Headlamp adjustment for Europe

    Strangely, I couldn’t find a thread on this (I’m not very techie anyway).. We decided that the Grancabrio should finally be used this summer and will head to friends in Germany and Italy for a few weeks. What is the easiest and best solution to changing the headlight position for the...

    Sportsitalia…the end

    Matt and Ash. So sorry to hear this news, we are in the middle of Antarctica now and thought I would check any Maser updates. Really shityy news, as I enjoy visiting and keeping the GC in pristine condition. Hope you get new premises and continue, otherwise it will be a major loss for us all...

    Holiday Thread

    Heading to Buenos Aires next week, followed by 2 week Antarctica and Falklands cruise - navigating the ARS currency will be the biggest challenge, I reckon! Will post a quick report, if anybody’s interested. Will be thinking of Clarkson etc whilst in Ushuaia…

    Stuff you've found on TV worth watching

    Agreed - I can’t watch it as it would make me too angry - has done for many years since I heard of it. As I recall, the further disgrace is that their CEO at the time (don’t want to recall her name) went onto bigger and better jobs. Let’s hope they get their comeuppance soon - doubt it but i...

    Hi Loz, no worries - GC has been in dry storage in Dorset. Probably won’t come out until next July, as we are travelling a lot to make up for covid! Glad you managed to enjoy the car for a bit anyway

    Currently in Canada.. shame as I would probably have taken it back, since we now have the additional house for storage!

    What you drinking now?

    I did a quick interweb search and it seems they also have a 'Corton' brand, which unfortunately just made me chuckle over my £15 pint, as I'm sure that's the wine mentioned in Fawlty Towers. The ferraris are out on orchard road and seen to have replaced all the maseratis since the dealer...
