First thing I did with my Sport was to drive it down to AV and have him major service it despite having a fully equipped workshop myself. Sometimes it pays to play as he identified some small issues which I wouldn’t have known being new to the brand.

For some old school petrolheads I think to tempt them in they’d have to be not only attractive but also naked.

Whilst serving them a rare steak and cold beer?

Interesting. I can picture it now….
But, I fear part of the EV/saving the planet thing involves not eating meat either so that may just scupper your excellent idea.

I'm sorry sir, but we only serve men with balls not a top bun...

Doomed for failure as it's cheaper to run a QPV

On the Joe Macari thing, I think they’re running down their Maserati stock on EBay, were the cheapest OR parts when I was buying a few weeks ago.

I put in Joe Macari into the eBay search engine and got these two United legends...one still owns the chippy outside OT.

£19,000 that's more than I've spent on cars in the last 10 years

Some years ago I bought a 4.0 jaguar XK8 with a knackered gearbox, engine wasn't great either so I bought a low mileage engine and box out of a XJ8 , only it turned out the only bit that's the same is the block and heads, everything else needed to be swapped., manifolds, cams, sump, you name it he had to swap it

I used a proper back street garage, went up one day and there were bits of 2 engines everywhere

I took one look at it with my **** me face on, I'm never driving this car ever

A week later, it's done, come and get it, 4 years I had that car and it never missed a beat

My total bill including the engine and box was £1200 though there was a story with the engine & box

I got it fron a guy in Newbury, it was in what looked like a mint XJ8, well mint before the crash, he'd sold it to a German who'd taken it to Germany only on a French motorway he fell asleep and crashed it, it got recovered and at this point would've been repairable only he took the keys with him, his problem was he didn't tell his insurance he was taking it out of the country so they washed their hands of the claim

The French garage had crowbared the boot and doors trying to find the battery to stop the alarm going off, it was a right mess

I paid £500 for the engine and box but sold my knackered engine and box for £400

I've bought some great cars, all knackered in some respect because I had a mechanic who could fix stuff without shafting me

Exactly Darren there's some Good mechanics/engineers out there and in my 45 years I've worked with many around the World.
Nothing is impossible it's being organised and methodical.
Nuts and bolts are just that.

Electronics are impossible, I have this abarth as proof

Decided I'm just going to drive it until I'm bored with it then PX it, I can't just give it to someone to look at with no guarantee of a fix.

I do t know if it's my imagination but it definitely feels faster with alfa 4c coil packs even though that didn't stop the 1 second limp mode

Totally agree with modern electronics mate.
The 2013 Mercedes Benz I had fun and games with Adblue problems has now been with the Dealership for 3 weeks still not sorted.
Points, condensors and carburettors for me till I stop.

So many varying stories on servicing. My baby old (2015) but I let Autofficina do my last one, everyone seems happy with them
