A Letter to Matron.

[Soenvious]

Dear Matron,
I'd been banging on the gates of the Maserati Sanitorium for, what seems like ages, yet you wouldn't let me in. But now that I've finally found the 4200 that's been missing from my life, I'm sure you'll welcome me with open arms.
Will I get the same tranquillisers and blood pressure pills, not to mention, the sphincter tightening cream (when the bills start to mount) as the other inmates?
Yours sincerely,
The latest headcase.

Ah now, clearly you haven't collected it yet....

Don't switch off the MSP as it WILL save your life.

Do enjoy the smug feeling as you drive it home.

Do enjoy the desire to stare out of the window EVERY 5-minutes just to look at YOUR Maserati!!!!

Do try and get used to the fixed grin you WILL have on your face.

Do understand that this will eliminate the need for any sphincter tightening cream you may have ordered, fell free to donate said cream to Dem of this parish when you meet him!

Do post pictures, it is the law!

Nice intro - welcome and enjoy your Maser

Congratulations on finding your missing car. I imagine the only person happier than you is your chemist

Welcome, sounds like you will fit in well into this asylum.

As above we need photographic evidence before we can confirm your condition

 

[Ebenezer]

In case of doubt, we are talking about photos of the car.....!

Thank God you clarified that, I was struggling to maintain a pucker....

 

[Soenvious]

Here's a couple before the rain took over. Oh by the way it's the grey one, not the yellow one.

Ahhhh...........I was about to say, The yellow spoiler doesn't go with Grigio Alfieri!!..............Very nice, and welcome!

 

[Ebenezer]

Say hello to the sphinctermobile!

the sphincter tightening cream (when the bills start to mount)

Phew.... Thank goodness for the qualification. Otherwise I'd be second guessing your choice of occupation.

But I'd suggest you be wary not just of the Bills mounting for you whilst in the sanitarium, it's the Kevins and Harrys you must watch....

Oh nice shiny Maserati looks much nicer that the yellow Beetle and yellow Truck parked alongside- health to Enjoy!!

That 911 looks a bit rough in the second photo.

Congrats, you’ve done a great thing, you certainly won’t regret it, especially once the weather improves. Welcome to one of motorings best kept secrets!

 

[Soenvious]

Thanks for the welcome and the wise advice.
Can't stop I'm off to plot my route to the therapists tomorrow via a succession of petrol stations. Do you think if Maserati had made the fuel gauge larger the needle might move towards empty more slowly?

looks like a nice car, you wont regret it, thay are all great cars.

I can't wait to fully enjoy the car as my longest journey so far was the drive back home after buying it, around 150 miles.
The journey home was very 'testing' with 50MPH road works on the M6, p***ing down rain and crawling traffic queues at almost every Motorway merge point. At least it taut me how to be kind to my clutch through necessity. I was leaving large gaps between myself and the car in front to enable some coasting out of gear (hope this doesn't cock things up with the Italian gearbox 'brain', I'm sure they don't do 'coasting'...)
After a trouble free trip I was briefly onto a local Dual Carriageway that was begging me to put my foot down (in the cause of science) and OMG, what a Blast!

Looks like Grigio Nuvolari to me.

Was it pointed out where the button to open the fuel filler cap is?

It's in the glovebox (where else????) if it wasn't.
