    The boat thread - an even shorter road to financial ruin?

    By “popular” demand! Subject to sea trial and hull inspection on Tuesday, this is what I am likely to buy (although I’m also weighing up a 1998 Cranchi Smeraldo 37). It’s a 34’ Gobbi 335 SC, but with a swim platform added (effectively making it a 345SC). It was a freshwater boat its whole...

    Would you?

    So, I have been hankering after another QP5 duo select for a year or so - I have such fond memories of my first 2006 QP5 back in 2009, and I am convinced it was the best QP I have ever driven armed with the experience at the time of back to backing it with a ZF. It just seemed to go down the...

    Gtechniq DIY

    I’ve just spent 3 hours a day for the last 3 days applying Crystal Serum Light and two coats of ExoV3 to my DB9. If you take your time, it is a very satisfying process and not as difficult to do as I had feared. The Crystal Serum Light is the more difficult coat to apply as it is thinner and...

    Another defector

    Having been told that I need to be careful about what I drive long distances, I decided I would sell both my current Maseratis and buy one special car to use for short trips and weekend blasts, and that I would love to spend time cleaning and waxing etc. I spent quite a while thinking about the...

    My Maserati Gransport Spyder V8 4.2 for sale

    In addition to my QPV in the other thread, I am also considering selling my Gransport Spyder for the same reason. I’d rather it be used as intended rather than remain a garage queen. It’s a 2006 in Blu Anniversaire with Blu Scurro and Tech-cloth interior. It has done 34k miles and I have owned...

    My Maserati Quattroporte V 4.7S for sale

    I have decided to advertise my QPV for sale. It is a 2009 QPV 4.7S with 17k miles. It has mixed MD and more recent independent full service history. It was serviced in September 2018 at the same time that the variators were done as there was the slightest of rattles. The car is in concours...

    Sergio Marchionne

    Apparently, SM has been replaced in all his roles across the FCA group for health reasons. The news from the media appears to be that he is in critical condition in a coma following surgery. Doesn’t sound good........

    GS Non-sport mode

    When not properly “on itâ€, and ignoring clutch wear “issuesâ€, does anybody else secretly enjoy driving their GS in non-sport mode, ie with softer suspension setting and slightly slower “more authentic manual†gear change speed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Levante Trofeo

    Rather like how they have beefed this up. Performance stats look pretty strong too. https://www.maserati.com/maserati/international/en/news/World-Premiere-for-Maserati-Levante-Trofeo-at-the-2018-New-York-International-Auto-Show

    Changes to MY18 GranCabrio

    Well just taken mine into Autoshield to have the underneath waxoyled for long term protection. The first one they've seen, and Marios was both surprised and very impressed with the changes they've made to the underneath of the car. Some of the new reinforcing would explain the almost complete...

    New Alfieri and Granturismo

    Just heard some interesting news on this from a very good source. Apparently both the Alfieri and new Granturismo are ready. The only decision still to be made is on power trains. They are currently being tested with petrol, hybrid and electric power trains. Once a decision has been made, either...

    Took the Ghibli out for a drive early this morning before the roads get too congested. It's a lovely thing to drive

    Ghibli GT

    I've wanted one of these since I first saw one over 20 years ago. So when I saw one was coming up at H&H, I knew I would bid on it. Yesterday was the day, and after a tussle with several other bidders, I got to drive it home. It's in fantastic condition, and drives beautifully, just needs a...
