Come on guys admit it...

Do you ever do this? i've done it in pubs but a couple of weeks ago I found myself doing it on the plane to Chicago, let me explain:
I was sat on the plane having a conversation with a perfect stranger and after a while the conversation turned to the state of the road surfaces in the UK, the American Gentleman I was conversing with explained that the roads in Salt Lake City (which happened to be both his and my final destination) were just as bad and that he recently went down a pot hole and had to have his tracking reset. This was it, this was my big moment, I could steer the conversation in the desired direction....I then explained that this had recently happened to me and I had to drive my car 60 miles to the main dealer because the local garages could not do this repair. Then he said it, the words I longed to hear, that's a pain, WHAT CAR DO YOU DRIVE? Then I could reply with those proud words I DRIVE A MASERATI.
I,m not really a knob (honest) but don't you just love saying those words?

Oh! and while I'm at it Who uses Maseratee and who uses Maserarrti?

Guilty as charged your honour

becomes a bit of a technique steering the conversation then explaining im a bit of a car nut who's got a fascination with the letter M , then your right they have to ask what you have , love the look in their eyes when i tell em two mercs and two maseratees , my main contractor gets the right needle when occasionally i turn up for work or to do a measure in one of the massers just love that colour green

Good one Scouse!

...............and just as we are abusing JC on another thread I recall he said, when reviewing the Quattroporte recently, that the coolest thing a car enthusiast could say was, saying to the wife, "darling shall we take the Maserati tonight".

 

[conaero]

....I think that was in reference to an Aston from memory, but I could be wrong.

 

[Parisien]

I usually say I drive whats considered in automotive circles, as automotive pornography.......cos really the pleasure involved is pretty much immoral, distasteful to many other lesser motoring mortals..............you call call me an automotive fascist if you like....I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though sometimes I pretend to be a bit embarassed as they've just driven up in a Japanese/French/German white goods driving equivalent!!!!

He may have said it of the Aston as well but the precise quote I was referring to was:

"All that matters is that you are comfortable and that, when you arrive, you are stepping out of one of the coolest cars ever made. Don’t believe me? Well, try saying this and see how it sounds: “Shall we take the Maserati tonight, darling?” Has a ring, doesn’t it?"

arh, I see, he did say the same thing about the Aston on the TV show, probably 5 years ago, and yes, I do retain useless bits of info like that!

On a similar thread, what do you say when someone stops and stares at you polishing the car before coming over and saying what a lovely car you've got. I couldn't think of anything else apart from "Yes.....um.....thank you"!

Blush colour up and feel an inner smugness, after all your the one that has to hand over all that cash at service time you ve earned it mate,
