    2011 GranTurismo S MC-Shift Sportline

    Thanks for the kind words and advice, all. I’ll be very sorry to see it go.

    2011 GranTurismo S MC-Shift Sportline

    It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here, but unfortunately the time has come for me to move on my Granturismo, and seeing as I bought the car through this forum from @Ewan it only seemed right to put it back on here to see if there was any interest before seeking a dealer to do a SOR. It’s...

    Yaris GR!!

    Mines a circuit pack, and the suspension probably isn’t as ‘track’ as you’d expect. It’s stiff, but still very compliant and not crashy at all, but I do agree that 99% of circuit pack owners won’t use the LSDs etc and bought that spec for pub bragging rights. Regarding the numbers being made...

    Yaris GR!!

    Daily, but have found myself opting for it often when going for weekend drives too because of how fun and capable it is, so much so I’m selling my air cooled 911 because this does everything that does much better, and between this and the GT, the 911 is now redundant and a bit **** in...

    Latest MC20 Teasers

    I completely agree, when you’re spending that kind of money it needs to have that wow factor. But from looking at base spec list prices on google, it’s not really any less wow than anything in that sort of price bracket, according to google a Ferrari F8 starts at around £205k without options...

    Latest MC20 Teasers

    Yeah you’re right I think they are only making a couple of thousand. But they retailed at more than twice the cost of the MC20.. And now they are swapping hands for about a million.. for a ford !! However, you’re right. Comparing a ford to a Maserati is a cardinal sin, and i promise not to do...

    Latest MC20 Teasers

    The latest Ford GT is also a V6 TT. And a very similar weight, so arguably one of its closest competitors. The Ford trumps it on HP, but when you look at the cost the Maser looks cheap in comparison. Looks really great to me. Lots of the Maserati styling cues, and I especially like the trident...

    Defacing Statues

    Wont be long! I'd imagine its a good representation of if social media was a small village.

    Defacing Statues

    Ah but you're forgetting the rules don't apply to them and he was in the way of what they were doing, so his life doesn't matter. The same way lives don't matter unless you agree with the demands of the mob. It's all getting a bit out of hand now. Anyone else see that in Seattle the protesters...

    Defacing Statues

    Fortunately he hasn't died. I'd imagine his injuries will be pretty serious though having that fall on his head. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-injured-toppling-confederate-statue-virginia-n1229706

    Defacing Statues

    Here's one that just popped up on my facebook. Statue of Queen Victoria. Well known for being a slave owner and trader right?! Or was it that slavery was abolished before her reign, and she sent the Royal Navy to capture the slave boats and stop them going to the USA? Blockade of Africa anyone...

    Defacing Statues

    From what I've read he was a nasty piece of work throughout his life, but reformed himself in the last few years. It doesn't make what happened to him right, but not the type you'd really hail as a martyr whilst defacing Churchill's statue (who also did a lot of bad & good things.) The point I...

    Worcester's Wheels on Wednesday June start up - maybe

    Great news, hadn't seen that they were making plans for June. I went to a few of their meetings last year as well, never saw any other masers but was a great mix of cars there, and a great little event for a Wednesday evening during the summer months.

    Are you worried yet.

    Completely agree, they are not comparable as lockdown would have had a big affect on the figures, and they would have been a lot higher as you say. But on the other hand you could also argue that in those years they would have had a flu jab/vaccine available to mitigate the amount of people...

    Are you worried yet.

    Here's another video from Rome during lockdown.. Volume up ! Apparently a Fiat 125 S.

    Are you worried yet.

    That’s brilliant. Although, it’s made me feel rather stupid for reading it and not realising, even though I could see it wasn’t what he was claiming it to be ! Which kind of makes sense as to why he’d claim it to be a COVID vaccine, because the average person (i.e me:banghead1:) could look at...
