    Brake disc replacement - am I being paranoid or is this normal?

    Not sure what’s going on but thought I would seek the insight of those more experienced than me with regards to servicing and repairs of a Gran Turismo. Finally managed to get my car (2013 GTS) booked in to get Zep’s front brake upgrade fitted. Garage I picked is an Indy about 45 mins up the...

    15 months in and first serious problem- ESC unavailable, ASR unavailable, Parking Brake Fault, Check suspensions

    As title It’s stuck with the park brake on outside my sons school. AA man says the battery is ok (it’s only a couple of months old). But he can’t even read the codes from the OBD port. Is there anyway of removing the park brake manually so I can limp it home?

Despite doing a passable impression of the elephant man thanks to the mother of all dental extractions it was a great morning of escapism featuring some stunning cars. The Pista, GT40 and...

    Alternatives to Vodafone tracker?

    One year of GT ownership and all is well (touch wood). However the renewal for the tracker has come through, and it’s almost a third more than I paid last year.

    After a year of lurking, I’ve finally joined the club!

    I guess it was bound to happen, but just about a week after my 40th I’ve joined the GT sport club. After doing copious amounts of research, pouring over the threads here and checking my saved auto trader search every day for a long old time, I did what many people recommended and made contact...

    https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202101158009844 Looks to be my ideal spec- Blu Sofisticato with Bianco Pregiato leather, although I’m not too sure about the steering wheel and it’s a couple of thousand above my budget. Just wondering if anyone knows the car or the dealer selling it?

    Wanted Granturismo 4.7 S Auto

    As title really, I am after a 4.7 S auto, ideally in a dark exterior colour (anything other than white or silver) with a cream/light interior. I don’t think my budget will stretch to a 2013 on facelift but a 2010-2012 would be perfect. I’m not in a rush to buy (although it will be a 40th...
