    Maserati track day photos

    Sorry I have not been around much. Been so busy with work. It has taken over my life a bit. I am practically living either on a plane or in another country. Which wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have a young family - it would make more sense just to move there. But anyway ... Finally on the...

    EDF smart energy?

    Hey I don’t suppose any of you are on EDF smart energy tariff? I don’t suppose you got an email offering a discount code for their smart shop? If you aren’t going to use it could you be so kind and give it to me? Please PM me. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mechanic broke a part in our car

    My wife’s car a Y reg Ford Focus was in for repair. The throttle body is broken. Whilst they were trying to get it out one of the bolts snapped as the car is obviously quite old. And now it is stuck and they can’t get it out. I guess it isn’t the garages fault. It is an old car so I can’t...

    For sale - My Granturismo MC Shift 2012

    I really don't think you can get a cheaper MC Shift with this spec (lots of carbon and the sports handling pack) in this condition with such low mileage. It I has been well loved and looked after. Kept in a garage and driven carefully and has a full service history. It is for sale from AV...

    What car should I buy?

    Wife's focus is giving up the ghost. Clutch went. I paid for a new one. A pipe in the engine burst. I replaced it. Now one of the rear doors won't open. The opening mechanism has snapped I think. Not sure I can fix it because I can't even open the door to take the door card off!!! Think it...

    Buying a secondhand car privately

    Goodbye

    Well it was half a click bait. My wife is refusing to go out in the Maserati when we go out as a family. We have a lot of "new friends" with kids now and she is embarrassed we own a Maserati. I told her she should get some new friends. But she is refusing to drive it so it hasn't moved for...

    Holiday in Modena

    Got a long weekend with the boys and thinking of going to Modena. What is the best to see there? Would be nice to go on a factory tour - but don't want to bore my friends silly. So really just want to do the best! We designed the Enzo Ferrari Museum so don't need pointers on that ... rather...

    Trickle charger

    My car has a trickle charger plug in the boot. Which I believe can be connected to a C-Tek trickle charger. What I want to know is - is this plug proprietary? Or do the cheap Lidl trickle chargers have this plug already? Or does it mean I need to buy a C-Tek? Thanks Sent from my iPhone...

    Cruise control on a GTS

    Anyone worked it out? On the Ghibli when you brake and it turns off and then turn it back on it sets it at the speed at which you are travelling which seems sensible. On the Granturismo it set it at some weird unknown speed which is always a lot slower than the speed you are travelling at and...

    Authorised service centres?

    I've just realised that to ensure your Maserati Warranty is covered you must get your car serviced at an authorised service centre? Is Autofficina in Surrey an authorised service centre? Or do you need to take it to one of the big boys like HR Owen or Maranello? And is that why the indies...
