Well boys and girls, yup still around though been maserless since I signed off!

Great to see this magnificent forum going from strength to strength, a wonderful tribute to the marque Maserati, the Maseratis you own, run and lust after and last but not least a fabulous bunch of guys, enthusiasts and friends!

Of course I take my hat off to Matt (Conaero) for his considerable dedication, ingenuity and ability to foster and build a very unique car community and all online. Great to see Urby still involved and Loz too!

Take care one and all!

Just noting my 39K plus posts, most of those were done in first few months of the life of the forum to jump start/seed sections and simulate interest, I see they finally paid off!!

Congratulations!

Are Loz, Parisien and Urby still around?

Too bloody right I am, and certainly not intending to fall into the depths of old fartism anytime soon, after 5 years in South Sudan I shall be returning sometime soon once the right project falls into my lap , as some know I love and like to share a challenge, Like to say a big 3 cheers to Matty and all that supported him to maintain this precious man space ( and yes im one of those ) but thats not to say that any female Maserati owner does'nt deserve a full 11 points out of 10 for their contribution towards the transgender issues of today :tt:..................enjoy those V8's guys , they are the last of a dying breed

Kindest regards

Loz,

I have come back to the forum to wish Sports Maserati a well deserved very Happy Birthday.
Back in the day I don't think any of us could have envisaged what a success the Forum would end up being.

It was very gracious of Matt to include me as one of the founding fathers but the outstanding success is largely down to Matt's hard work and of course a lively, but unruly bunch of loveable followers (all of you guys)

Of course a special mention to my son Dem who has also been here pretty well since the beginning, but unlike me, has dedicated countless hours to the running of the forum and organising events and continues to do so.

Also a special thank you to my old mate Loz who helped keep a load of old troublesome Maseratis on the road with his superb knowledge and quick fixes that managed not break the bank..... That is until he decided to live the dream by becoming an ageing Indiana Jones and going off to the wilds of Africa to seek his fortune.

A big hello goes out to Frank (wherever the old bugger has been hiding)

Finally here is to the next 10 years and beyond and I love you all xxxxx

I joined in 2016 after buying my GT, I did zero research and so the forum as been very helpful, it's also a great place to hang around talking car related stuff generally and of course meeting some great people at the various shows I have attended.
Congratulations Matt and the team for starting something special and a big thank you to all those that support the forum either though giving time, sponsorship and of course contributing.
Long may it continue.

regards

A big congratulation and a huge thank you for creating this forum. I am surprised that Maserati UK itself is not an official sponsor, this forum must have sold more Maserati cars than any of its official dealers, and have probably created more 1st time owners as well.
