Thanks to the petrol head in me, I was unable to resist when I was offered a Quattroporte as a Part Ex against my Merc. I was intending to buy a Corvette, but I must admit, I am Smitten. Although I am now the subject of ridicule from friends and co workers. 57 plate, 2008 model year, has had the Variators done with associated cam cap mods, receipt to prove, Subframes are solid with just some light surface rust (will be treated as soon as possible) and in all honesty, he only thing I can fault is the mirror switch is broken. Full service history from either HR Owen or McGrath. I may well have dropped lucky. Past experience dictates joining a forum is a useful thing, and I may be able to put a little bit back.

Congratulations. Good choice. No reason for ridicule.

DuoSelect or ZF gearbox?

Depends! I love the DS it’s as near as you’d get to proper F1 driving legally on the road.
To be fair, as far as autos go, this is one of the better jobs. Far cry from the various Mercs and BMW I have owned. It just needs paddles, which I gather is a plug and play job. Even as is, I thoroughly enjoy driving it, Could do with the volume turning up a bit as well just to enjoy it that bit more.
