And a wooden steering wheel, and the side vents are only 2, not 3 (looks like there wasn't room for three)...I'd say enthusiastic, but misguided...

Ren, did I see you on the Ashby Road this afternoon about 2.45? I think you passed me going towards Loughborough, but then turned around to come up behind me? I was in the Alfa. Car looked great. :D

Sorry Miles, just saw this. Yes it was me, just taking it out for a spin after washing and polishing :) You should have waved ! or nipped in for a coffee, I'm 2 minutes from that roundabout.

OMG Swiss GT (probably the same one) in our hotel car park!

If he's not a member already he will be by the end if the week!

Now where's my SM Tshirt and hat?

Sadly never managed to track him down, despite strutting around in my White Maserati Baseball cap.

It was still there when we left and no Dhanj, the wheels were the silver standard 4.2 ones, which looked odd choise for the 4.7 MC Shift:

Didn't realise you were so close Ren. Taking the car for a spin after a good round of spit and polish - I do the same, then when I'm back I can clean off the bits of trapped water that have spattered the bodywork! :D

Black or Grigio GT with a plate something like 453 MP today at 14:20 on the Ashby Road, a hundred yards past the spot that Miles saw me ! Didn't wave as I was in the Ford :O

Saw a load of Tridents today..... underlined my fondness for the marque.

First off, 11 plate GT let me cross infront of him this morning, Harpenden.

Blue 4200 heading south on the M4, probably around 13.45. Blue GT 5 mins later, also heading south.

Red Bora plate was something like OJM 155, heading out of Oxford and then South on the M40, around 18.30 at a guess.

Black with beige QP, facelift, looking superb, at around the same time. Plate was something like AO07 CPP....gorgeous looking thing and **** close to my ideal spec. One of these next, in my dreamy little world. Sublime.

Grey facelift QP on the M25 near Rickmansworth ish, probably around 19.00 or so, red leather, blonde lady driving.

As said, undelined why I like the marque so much - all of them great looking cars, particularly the facelift QP for which my fondness is growing by the day.

I saw 3 today. First was a brand new Ghibli parked up in a driveway in Wembley. At first I thought it was a new QP, but closer inspection told me otherwise. Interesting patterned wheels on it. Couldn't get a pic as I was driving. Then saw 2 black GTSs in the space of 5 minutes near Wembley Stadium. Both sounded glorious.

A heavenly sounding red GranTourismo S has just crept past Old Bailey. What a great sounding car.

O/T, I've not forgotten about the cloths - I WILL come and see you at some point, they're very much needed now!

I spottd this well known example at Bill McGraths' this morning. One of the guys working there has bought it.

BTW, McGraths have recently received the QP diagnostic "machine" and software from Maserati.

Nice navy blue Grancab in Colchester this afternoon, 1PAS. Had the oval MC pipes (black finish... looked very good) but sounded muted as it rolled past. Could have been in stealth mode rather than "shout", I suppose.
