    A huge thank you to CatmanV2 in helping to make our Maserati engagement road trip a reality!

    Hey guys, A couple of months ago I posted about looking into hiring a Ghibli to do a road trip in Scotland with, where it was my intention to propose to my lovely girlfriend. CatmanV2 - to my astonishment and delight - offered to lend me his Granturismo for the trip. After some headaches with...

    Thinking of hiring a Mas for a road trip (and proposal!) in Scotland - advice?

    Hello chaps, The time has come to make an honest woman of my wonderful girlfriend, the time is right and I want to make it something special. Maybe it's a bit cliched but my head keeps going to road trips around Scotland, scenery, castles and probably a good bit of drizzle. My parents...

    Nice looking watches in Kickstarter, inspired by the Maserati 250F

    Hey guys, I came across these watches on KS. They look really nice, the face takes inspiration from the 250F. A friend of the guy running the KS told me about it, they're Swiss made and look like solid quality. I don't know a whole lot about watches, but these look pretty nice and the price is...

    I have a slightly stupid question about selling cars to a dealer.

    Hey chaps, I am playing around with finance possibilities again, but being young and foolish I have a question that may help flesh out a scenario I have in my mind. I will probably finance my first mas, right now I'm aiming for a well kept sub £20k QPV. With interest rates being what they...

    I repainted a model MC Stradale for a mate a while back, great little project.

    Hi guys, I was just organising my old phone photos and found these, thought you might appreciate them. A mate has a beautiful MC Stradale and he asked me if I could take a collectable model and repaint it to match his. I thought I could mask and paint it but in the end I just took the whole...

    Owner orders a bespoke "Re-fitting" of a 4200 Spyder - what do you think?

    Hey guys, Stumbled across this article while idly reading up on 4200's, and as a 3D designer by trade who does this type of work day to day I found it really interesting, and I wondered what you all thought: http://www.syog.com/blog/2015/03/12/design-q-transforming-a-maserati-4200-spyder/ I...

    Agonising temptation!

    Hey guys, I've just been lurking on and off, soaking up the knowledge as best I can. I was looking on AT last night (I try not to too much,) and I'm now seeing three Quattroportes coming in at under 14k. That's....a lot of car for that kind of money. I'm not sure whether they're going to be...

    QPV: What yearly maintenance/servicing costs should I be anticipating?

    Hi guys, I hope your collective experiences will be able to advise here. I'm currently working out whether the total cost of QP ownership (14-18k range) will be comfortably affordable for me. I am ok with the three year financing deals I can get with a 50% deposit with a balloon, and...

    Looking for some clarifications about DuoSelect

    Hey guys, Thanks for the warm welcome in the newbie section, I can see this is a great forum! I have some queries about DuoSelect as I can't quite work it out from what I've read. So if I have it right, you can choose between a traditional automatic mode, and then a semi automatic...

    Maserati Dreaming

    Hi guys, Just thought I'd pop in to say hi. I'm not a Maserati owner yet, however they've always been my favourite luxury car marque and my go to for those "what car would you buy if you had £150k" conversations. Something about them makes me prefer them to Ferarri and Aston etc - the styling...
