    Independent Specialist Berkshire area ?

    I've recently used Emblem in Bournemouth/Poole as I'm a newbie to Maserati ownership. I found them to be excellent. I utilised their complimentary Saturday check-up which was perfect for learning about my GTS and helping me with what work to prioritise and when. 2 hours of a specialists time...

    Maseratis - Spotted

    Grey GTS spotted on the A322 heading to the M3. I was heading into Bracknell and duly got stuck for an hour because Thames Valley Police shut the A322 after stopping a lorry for an immigration operation :(

    Maserati Specialist Recommendation

    I'm not sure if it applies to all GT Sports but mine has both the front and rear sensors. If I put the car in reverse, because one sensor is out at the front, it brings on the 'parking help unavailable' message and then you can't use any of them. In my case, I put the car in reverse and then a...

    Maserati Specialist Recommendation

    I've just utilised Emblem this past weekend. I took it in for their complimentary 'Saturday morning consultation' clinic. I was very impressed indeed. I'd purchased my 2016 GT Sport back in January and was keen to have a second opinion on it so that I could be aware of anything that might...

    Maseratis - Spotted

    I know the Bracknell area well as my work is in Jealotts Hill. Had a lovely drive in this morning with the sun and a clear run up the M3 from Southampton :) I rarely go through Bracknell itself, I prefer the route up Swinley Road, past Ascot and around Winkfield Row. There's some lovely...

    The Cheapest Car

    Oooh, I like these questions ... I'll roll with two for differing reasons: 1) - Around 2003 - A very poor decision purchase had just decided to die on me ('92 Renault 19 16V saloon - never touched a French car since!) and I was in desperate need of a car. Me being me, a simple Fiesta or some...

    Newbie 2016 GT Sport

    Welcome! Hopefully you'll get as much enjoyment from it as I am from the first few weeks of owning a 2016 GT also :)

    NEWBIE - 2016 GT Sport

    @dickygrace - Thanks for the info for finding the colour. I can confirm that under the bonnet it states Bianco Eldorado. Apart from the first run to bring her home from North London, I've barely been able to get her out properly. I've come down to see my wife's family in Cornwall and so got 3...

    NEWBIE - 2016 GT Sport

    I had blue calipers on my 840i ... they were quite understated against black alloys and black bodywork. Being from Southampton, maybe some red detailing against the white would be appropriate but I'm happy with the yellow

    NEWBIE - 2016 GT Sport

    Thanks - I'll go confirm under the bonnet now I must have missed that you still have the black one when checking your stocklist again recently - it's a beauty

    NEWBIE - 2016 GT Sport

    Thanks Andy! I'm loving your list of historical vehicles, particularly the 'M's. My personal favourite 'M' is the E36 M3 Coupe Evo ... trouble is finding one that isn't thrashed to ****!

    NEWBIE - 2016 GT Sport

    Thanks! If it hadn't have worked out then I would have been contacting you to look at a black one you had recently (I trust it is sold now also? Was around £42k ... stradale wheels, yellow calipers) - those were the two that I had whittled down to (I had a list of about 30!) - Sadly, I am in...
