    Joining the electric car club

    Whilst you state your position quite succinctly, I'm afraid to say, and with the greatest of respect (after all anybodies opinion is as valid as anyone else's), your argument has been heard before. When I bought my Ghibli Diesel in 2015 this site had many proclaiming Maseratis latest efforts -...

    Joining the electric car club

    Got to be honest, I haven't got the foggiest idea what you are talking about, and I've spent some time trying to think what you mean. Is it that I shouldn't be selling my DS3 after six years, or... Is it that somehow MG make cars that don't last? I'm going with the second, but that is just a...

    Joining the electric car club

    Whilst not a pure EV but a Hybrid, I am considering changing my six year old daily driver, a DS3 Auto for the new MG3 HYBRID. This car which is about to go on sale just can't be beaten for value for money. The top of the range Trophy model comes fully loaded including ACC LKA 360° Camera, heated...

    dash-cam: worth it?

    I saw a YouTube video where insurance companies are considering technology which you will have to have to get insurance in the first place that will monitor driving style, and alter your premium accordingly...big brother or direct line etc is watching you!

    dash-cam: worth it?

    No problems, and nope I decided against the extra battery pack 'so far' that is, cos of the infrequent use the car gets, and when it's not in use its parked in a locked garage away from the road. One other point when you switch on parking mode - you can conserve power by selecting the movement...

    dash-cam: worth it?

    Don't worry I know where your coming from about checking all the time. The LTE function is clearly meant for the OCD sufferers amongst us, I am checking all the time when I'm using the car!! Like yourself, I too am in the learning process, however a lot of the functions on the app are quite well...

    dash-cam: worth it?

    I recently had a Blackvue 770x lte fitted to my car comprising both front and rear cameras. Previously on my Ghibli I had a Thinkware. For me it’s not so much recording an incident (of course that’s the primary importance), but the other features they offer. In the case of the Thinkware a very...

    It clearly doesn't get the vote on here! Out of interest, what’s the view on the new MG3 Hybrid. https://images.app.goo.gl/LRDL8JJvyyeSiRPy8

    Alfa Milano

    What a fabulous looking car!! I would be sorely tempted with the hybrid, but compared to my daily runabout - a 2018 DS3 3 door, it’s a lot bigger 22cm longer, and let’s not forget the price, probably 35k for a decent spec hybrid model… I was considering the new MG3 hybrid which is about to be...

    Maserati UK sales (or rather lack of them)

    I watched a Petrol Ped video on YouTube where he was loaned a Roma coupe for the weekend. He took it to a very expensive luxury hotel in Devon- Lympstone Manor and preceeded to negotiate the ridiculously narrow roads that are down there, whilst his wife drove it back home. His wife eulogised...

    Maserati UK sales (or rather lack of them)

    I for sure can understand your point of view, and an old school driver of a sports car will always dream of an open road where he can put both his or indeed her skills to the test, whilst exploring the dynamic ability of the car. However, and regrettably for this kind of driver, both legislation...

    Maserati UK sales (or rather lack of them)

    Unfortunately to me Maserati have fallen into the 'irrelevant' car maker sector. When I bought a Ghibli Diesel in 2015, this was unique in being an 'exotic' and all importantly different looking car amongst, at that point in time, a range of boring and totally unaspirational German alternatives...

    Dealer lost my service book!

    Shocking! How did the original get lost? I’ve spoken to the dealer and as I suspected they’ve lost the book. Now of course the hassle of nagging to get a new book and have it stamped and the history recreated. Whilst the service manager has offered to do this, I think it’s a fair assumption that...
