    Paint protection for new car

    After a 12 month wait I’ve finally taken delivery of my new Land Cruiser. It’s the 4th I‘ve owned and having been unimpressed by Dealer paint protection in the past, I skipped that option and was considering a ceramic coating and maybe even a PPF to the front end. A friend (mutual friend of Guy...

    MC Stradale Glove Box Badge

    Why do the red inserts always fall out of the MC letters on the MC Stradale badge on the dash above the glove box?? I remember Dickie saying this when I was looking for a car and sure enough it happened to mine soon into ownership. I had it replaced under warranty but it’s happened again...

    Post Purchase Blues..... Smoker

    Hi all, I have just bought a car after a very quick viewing and 10 minute test drive (in a mask!).

    Stradale Headlights

    Hi all, Maserati have just graciously replaced both Stradale headlights under warranty as condensation was building up in the original pair.

    Change of car - Is GardX worth paying for??

    Don’t worry the Stradale isn’t going anywhere.... My wife has clocked up 22k miles in 14 months in the Land Cruiser and 1) wants something that fits into carpark spaces, 2) something slightly less thirsty. We need a 7 seater for kids / their friends and selling a 14 month old car isn’t bright so...

    P Zero Corsa - Stradale

    Pirelli have had their fair share of stick recently and some are suggesting that they will be running their Stradales on Michelin rubber. I won't....... Credit where credit is due, Pirelli UK have totally exceeded expectations. The car is just over a year old (though DOT number shows tyres...
