I know you're an old fuddy-duddy mate, but I couldnt agree and disagree with you more on this. £200K lightweight Alpine anyone!!

I have them on my bikes...Pretty happy with the way they don't discharge when left ( current drains excepted, of course) and the weight difference is impressive.

Outstanding….

That’s true… If you own one perhaps, or have the option of getting into one that needs parts, these can be disproportionately expensive as well as hard to find. If you spanner yourself, getting a ‘ cheap breaker’, (or even buying two to make one), it could be an affordable way to fix, and move...

Get a PPI for £300_£400 and you have a fighting chance of dodging a bullet! That’s scrap value. Get two!

just get a “ limited edition” decal plastered on the posterior…double in value overnight..! ;)

Yes & no…mostly no, though Quite a few cars will briefly rattle on cold start up. I’ve heard a few rattle for several seconds…. It’s the variator that’s evacuated of oil before oil pressure builds. There are non return valves snd o- rings that can be easily replaced that helps. Its hard to...

If Bob Geldof stood on stage for Maserati and shouted “ just give us yer feckin’ money” for half an hour, it’s be less tedious…!

Premiere Edition cars with all the bells and whistles for low 30’s…. Alpine have lost the plot with this nonsense for me. Self indulgent b0ll0x.I suppose they think it helps the brand?

Van Gogh didn’t sell a single canvas when he was alive! Just saying…!;)

Of course, you’re entitked & welcome to your opinion. Much like the idea that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In the same way love is blind, maybe? I would argue that art needs no purpose. It is subversive by its very existence. We don’t need it; it doesn’t feed us, clothe us, keep us...

Don’t feel bad - I also went through the whole process and it made no difference. No worn tracks, thick hardened grease…everything fine. Apparently it’s down to a piece of priceless Maserati plastic that attaches to the priceless Maserati wiper blades…..:D

Fair play….I was slightly befuddled by the notion of how a tree works, questioning if my limited understanding, also limited my capacity to appreciate it.…:)
