Chaps,
I see that I last posted over 3 years ago in March 2012.
About time I gave account of myself then.
2011 saw me lose my driving licence for rather extreme speeding and I hold my head in shame (Ha!) - but it was fun.
Took a break in 2012 after cancer diagnosis - surgery and a spell of doubt about keeping the car followed but thankfully:
here I am, and with my car.
I have the Rosso Bologna 4200 still and feel that whilst unable to add any technical stuff to the forum I do have 6 years of ownership under my belt. Have to say that nothing comes close to the experience of this car. Done a track day or so and driven some other nice cars but to me this is still THE ONE!
Bought in 2009 as a 'lifer' the aim is still the same, to have and to hold. - Looked after impeccably by Emblem here in Poole, the car remains still below 40K miles and looks amazing. Actually the car is with them now for the annual beautification and service. As I say I can add nothing technical as anything under the bonnet is a mystery - a beautiful mystery but a mystery nevertherless. I guess just sitting in the cockpit is reward enough; no-one makes great interiors any more do they? Ferrari excepted of course.
So the ramble could carry on but it's good to find old friends again and share this with you.
For the younger members, you have to keep the faith, enjoy your cars to the full; next year I draw my old age pension but you know, whatever age you may be, there is nothing like the experience of being able to say that you drive a M-A-S-E-R-A-T-I, say it slowly and let the letters roll of your tongue and savour the responses from your colleagues!
I loved say the word it in the 1950s and I love to say it still.
