First time I've fallen in love since I was Married 40 years ago (still am)

This car is Nothing short of Ballistic!!.... I wonder how many G's these things pull? I was doing 160kph by the time I got to the end of the on ramp to the freeway........ HOLY S--T !! Had to slam on the anchors as I was flying up to people on the Freeway. WOO HOOO!
What an absolutely stunning bit of kit. I'm so happy to have purchased this car.
It does need work: Timing belt, Radiator, Water pump (while we are at it) and the AC has not worked for 5 years.
Last owner only put 4k on the clock in the last 6 years !!

I did manage to get 10k off the asking price - me thinks he liked me :) So happy to spend money to take care of these items.

Also plan to change: diff oil, trans fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, engine oil, all belts & filters: petrol, oil and air.

Found a fastidious Mechanic who works weekends at home; just have to get in the que. - 3 month wait Still $100/hr beats $240/ hr. at the Dealership. Would not touch them with a net & a trident..... Gouge Merchants Incarnate.

Now, just to be careful that I still spend more time with my Wife than my new love................. ain't gonna be easy people.
Better watch out for Mr.Plod. He'd love to get me. Ain't gunna happen though.close-up-of-maserati-3200-gt-rear-light-covered-in-rain-A76GGX.jpg

A bit quick aren't they, 4200's are quicker thought (we've not had a good 3200v4200 argument for a while!)

I beat Phils 3200 hands down in a drag race in France a few years ago in a clapped out 4200 . I thought he had broken down but apparently he was waiting for his turbos to spool up ....Think he still is actually

I loved my 3200 but the only experience I have against my GS was at the track day in Modena. The GS ate the 3200's on this tight twist tracks.

32's are blistering in a straight line and a lot of fun, the corners...well, not so much.
