Ben's gone bonkers

[BensBasil]

Hi I'm Ben, I didnt want to risk dying without owning a Maserati and the suicidal thoughts that were entering my head every time I realised I was a volvo driver was making that risk very real so took the plunge the other day and swapped our family wagon XC90 for a 2012 Gran Turismo 4.7mc, phew...

Kids still fit in the back and Im not a massive fan of the dog so it is a win win from me! The wife isnt too pleased but Ive always been a strong believer that forgiveness is easier to obtain than permission and I'm sure she'll come round eventually, or stay at home with the dog.

Congratulations on the car.
Cheap compared to the divorce but hey ho
Enjoy -and your Mrs will love it in time.

When I read the title, I thought, we have known that for years.
Now we have x2 Bens, one bonkers and the other more than bonkers.
Welcome and pics are traditional.

Heres a pic, I have been enjoying taking it out for my daily excercise the last few weeks, a welcome break from home schooling!

It needs some love cosmetically, the paint on rear quarter is faded, front badge etc but tbh Im not that fussed about all that as you cant see it from the drivers seat!

Welcome. Sounds like you have the right mindset for Maserati ownership already

Some of us have lived by that mantra for years

The Granturismo is an awesome car - enjoy

Well done and welcome!

Whilst Mrs Crud was no immediate fan of the GTS, she still misses it.
