Not a Maserati but a very rare spot in Chepstow just now.

Great spot!
It's amazing to see that the roofline of the Bugatti is the same height as the waistline of the Mini behind it.

Walked into this whilst channel hopping the other night. After 5 mins I decided it was not something I would be bothered with other than the fact on the intro there is an early 70s Maserati Ghibli parked up outside. Stuck it on record so I can see what they are doing with it when it comes on

I know. Back in the day thought it was big but it is very compact. Always loved them.

A lovely 3200 around 'are way' at noon reg 20 JOV, sounded smooth. I wonder if he's going to visit the Ghibli 3 round the corner?

Spotted a bronze coloured Ghibli in town this morning but about half an hour ago a white Iso Grifo rumbled right past our house!!

Followed a blue GT this afternoon along the A21, from Battle to Tunbridge Wells.

Was the MC20 blue, reg RK71EZZ? If so, that's Maserati UKs demonstrator. The Levantes might be full of hob-nobbers

I didn't catch the plate Martin but it was blue. I know that the roads around me in the North Wessex Downs are popular with road testers so that could make sense.

We beat that hands down - at least 6 Lavantes and a blue MC20 (I flashed him and got a wave back ) on the A346 Marlborough to Swindon road - they were heading towards the M4 around 11am. A few minutes later in Marlborough a dark grey MC20 popped out a car in front of us but headed off towards the town. A bit earlier MrRR spotted a black/dark grey GT leaving J15 of the M4 (probably joining A419 towards Swindon) Finally around 5pm a wave from a QP near Burbage (again the A346). (Not forgetting a wave from a friendly man in a Ferrari around 3.30 as we were leaving Fair Oaks)

Well done! That would be the same group I assume. I was in the SEC so waving may have looked odd!

Whilst out enjoying the sun in New Brighton last Sunday came across an eclectic range of cars! A QP, Chevy Apache and this rather beautiful Volante!

And it wasn't a friendly man in a Ferrari as Mr RR corrected me - it was a GT - I was right

A black GT in Hermanus last Saturday, not many of those outside of the larger Cape Town area - no doubt checking to see if the whales have arrived yet. I did see a couple of spouts - beautiful weather for the drive, I’m sure they had a ball.

I only knew about New Brighton because Martin Parr took some quite famous photographs there in the 1980s.
