March 1, time to drive

[Jnismith]

So I taxed the Gransport today, £555, bought a tank of petrol, £76, drove it back home and took in out for a curry tonight. Tomorrow, 100 mile drive for football. Let summer commence.

All sounds great.

(Apart from the bit about football).

Hope the good weather returns so you can enjoy the properly. Took mine off SORN last week while the temperatures where high and had some fun. Seems the start of March at least will be changeable so who knows when I will next get it out of the garage!

What I probably didn’t mention is that my daily driver up till Christmas was a BMW 440i GC with the MPPSK pack putting out about 370 bhp, and making a **** of a lot of noise. This got written off on the M25 (long story) and I’m now driving a 2118 Golf R (306 bhp). While this is a fast car, it’s not as ridiculous as the BMW, and yesterday the Maserati felt really fast again. I can see it’s going to get a lot more use this summer!

It is funny, there are few bad cars nowadays and every one of ours feels great when driving it, til you get in the next one. Took the Gransport out earlier this week for a nice run. Got back in the BMW 523i daily, one of the smoothest sweetest drives, and honestly thought it was broken it felt so different to the visceral and 'fast' experience in the Maserati.
