Living the Dream!

Welcome to the Forum Morebeans! Great looking car and I know you'll every minute behind the wheel (and parked in front of the house)

Hi Contigo
To be honest, I always thought they were out of my league in terms of cost of ownership. My dream car, but I thought I couldn't afford it. However, after spending time reading the forums, the reality is very different. They look and sound stunning, and to steal a phrase I saw on another thread - you get the most "smiles per mile"!
I also see you're in Newbury. I'm down the road in Headley. I'll keep my eye out for you.

I am in Newbury too - south side. I saw a white GT heading down the 339 on Sunday afternoon. Maybe you? I was in my Cayenne. Thought it was my car for a min until it got a bit closer. - you don't see many about!

Cool there are a few of us then in same area then.

Yep, that was me. Took the car out for a blast to blow away the cobwebs!

Yes indeed, I think a lot of people dismiss them the same as you did but once they go trident they become loyal to it. This forum is the best and I'm glad you have had the usual great welcome which everyone gets.

I drive through Headley a lot to get to our office in Farnborough so I will keep an eye out for you and hope you can come to some of the local meets which we organise. I saw a GT like yours with the Trident symbol across the roof on TV a minute ago here in Qatar.

Sounds great. I assume the meets are broadcast in the events section? Thanks!

Hi BigR
Yes, that's correct. I first saw it on a demo at Meridien and I believe you can get it in red, black or silver. The cost was approx £400. However, I wanted a carbon effect so I went to a local sign writer with a digital image of the trident, they took the dimensions of my roof, ran it through their computer programme and then transposed it on to my roof. They did a fantastic job and you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference between the stock one from Maserati and theirs. If I remember correctly it cost approx £150.

Somehow I don't think I could get one on my folding roof! But a very nice touch!

Welcome Morebeans from another newbie - that's a gorgeous looking GTS and a great decal on the roof - haven't seen that before.
