    My Oceanic Blue GTS

    Just avoid wearing jeans as the dye transfers very easily. A wipe with a quality leather cleaner and conditioner will keep them looking great; I do this monthly when using the car over summer.

    Another Bearings / Battery / Christmas Tree Thread

    If the car is a F1 the brake switch is used as part of the ECU inputs - If stuck on you would possibly get gear select issues.

    Maserati Specialist Recommendation

    You miss my point, I reference the fact of how much it has gone up from when I was using them between 2008 and 2016... I would be unable to justify using them for a service especially when the car does less than 250 miles a year. I do however have no doubt that thier rate is worth it when...

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    Prefer the past, both in cars, art and architecture. Modern stuff is mainly a fad, poorly designed and constructed to the lowest £, as well as made to meet the desires of those with little if any taste. It will never last more than a few years before looking like the **** it is. Whilst I...
