When I had my 3200GT I learned to live with the CEL light - it would go on and off on a very regular basis. It was the one black mark on an otherwise enjoyable period of ownership. The reasons already mentioned above are the usual suspects, however it's worth adding that the throttle...

Yeah, living about 20 minutes away, in Portishead. Brenda says hello. A catch-up would be great.

Hey Loz, yeah long time - fell off the forum after selling my GS (the unmodded grey one) and buying a 4C, but back now! Hope you and the SO are doing good. When I get round to it I'll post some old pics, I've got some of you and others from when we went to Donnington a few years ago.

I live 200 yards from the sea, so no escaping seagulls and their muck. The next car I buy will be white - I'm not joking!

Hallo mate, yeah I'm doing really well these days, after an extended period of bad health (won't bore you with the details). How are you? The last time we were in touch, I think you were cowering from riots on your street! Many years ago. Probably not seen you since the first Xmas dinner in Marlow.

Hey Andy (+ Matt + Dicky) - yeah it's been a while! Not sure how/why I fell by the wayside, other than a very heavy workload up at O2 followed by Covid lockdowns, etc. Time flies. I'm often up your way, Andy - lots of nice coffee shops for the bone idle like myself!

Funny, I looked last week to see what a Stradale costs 2nd hand these days and they're about the same price as they were when I last looked, which was probably 10 years ago! I'm getting the itch to get something fast again, I sold my 4C a couple of years ago and am missing it. May go for a 4C...

Yeah Pete, still living in the poor man's Monaco - that's Portishead, of course. I plan to post a bit more on here going forward ... work, life and ill health got in the way. Seems a long time ago that Matt, myself and others were on the gtvv6 forum, dreaming of Maserati's ... probably...

Amazing to see this thread still ticking along after nearly 13 years! Great effort, everyone, for keeping it up to date.

RIP. He did well to live on those extra years. The Julian Temple documentary on his mindset after the tumour removal was very moving.

Thanks Matt + Pete. I'm all good now, after complications following a routine skin cancer operation. I'd love another Maser, Matt, except I would be too tempted to spend my retirement pot on tweaks like those Formula Dynamics extras ... Anyway, apologies for thread hijack!

Hey Pete! A combination of too much work and then ill health kept me away! I was pretty unwell most of last year to the point where I had to give up work. So I've now retired. Brenda's still working, which just about keeps us afloat. I sold the 4C last year as I just wasn't driving it, I just...

Probably a bit late but I think I've got some old OEM GranSport springs in the garage. Could take a look if you like? They don't have much mileage on them.

Always liked a bit of hifi. Current set-up has my iphone streaming into a Chromecast. The bits after that are as follows: Chord Hugo M-Scaler --> Chord Dave --> Cyrus X300 Signatures --> Kudos Titan 808 speakers

I couldn't tell you how much experience they have, but they are confident with the 4C and are the nearest dealership or specialist to me that advertises as a 4C service shop. I've had two services there, as well as a 4C Quicksilver exhaust fitted, and will go back again.

Hi Crofty A bit late replying to this one. Jamie Porter is the no-brainer if you are close to that part of the country. I've not personally used him, but I did recently buy my after-market 4C exhaust from him and I could tell from that simple experience that he runs a finely tuned and...

GTV v6 was my first 'proper' car. It had a lot of presence, and back in the day it was one of the faster cars on the road. Lovely sound from the engine, even better if you change out all the scaffold underneath for a proper mid-section and dual or quad pipes.

Where you moving to, Pete?

feck - missed this. Just too busy. Will sort my diary out better next year. :read2:

Shame to have missed this, was available but have been off work with a bad back all week. Old age ...
