    Ghibli Review

    I didn’t even need to watch the video. The car, is a complete Dogs dinner from every angle and vomit inducing from a few of them! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fix or Flee?

    It’s been a couple of months since Raffles drove on to the flatbed and went off to auction. Have to say this was a quick and simple process, and got over twice what Eurospares had quoted. Thought I’d check up again today, and he is back on the road. Though not sure for exactly how long...

    Fix or Flee?

    I do hope not broken up, They have suggested it will simply go through their auction house as is. No idea who Matt is, so almost certainly a no on that one. TBH I’m not entirely sure what will replace it, a A45, QPVI perhaps. No rush as we have another shopping daily, and I use a motorbike...

    Not EuroSpares. Got another £1K on top of their price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fix or Flee?

    So, after some thinking and weighing up the various options I’ve decided to sell and flee. Gets collected next week. Been a great 6yrs, but time to bailout on this particular one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fix or Flee?

    None whatsoever, Never been mentioned on MOT’s or when work has been done and have always looked reasonable when I’ve been under it. Seeing it now though and it’s clear it needs repairs on the offside. Has simply raised its ugly head in the past 12 months or so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fix or Flee?

    I’ve contacted Eurospares for some info on selling to be broken. The refurb cost is very keenly priced, but as you say it’s the other unknowns. Front bushings we’re all new 2019, so probably not long for this world and you can almost guarantee that a few of the bolts and other ancillaries...

    That would be a win, you bagged a bargain at £300.

    Fix or Flee?

    So, after near as **** it 6yrs of straight ownership and year round use the QP has finally succumbed to front sub-frame rot. Now I’m torn between repairing it or simply walking away. It’s not the expense of the work, but more the cost of the work against the actual value of the car, and this...

    Maseratis - Spotted

    A very smart and super clean looking black GranTurismo in Lower Feltham. Anyone on here? I’ve just moved to the other end of the road, with the black QPV. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone had the jab yet?

    46, and my 1st jab on Saturday (Moderna) sore arm Sunday, but all good today. Here’s hoping the 2nd is the very same ‘non-event’ in a good way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Slightly less impressive than the machinery above, but due to moving house and a ‘further than walking allows’ commute I’ve just added to the Italian stable. I found it unloved and in need of TLC but a great little ride. Parts are laughably cheap compared to its big brother. Sent from my...
