    2019 Granturismo question

    They often include “Stradale” in the title as well, so your are right to research the detail - knowledge is power, or so they say. Good luck with your search, all models are awesome, it’s just the degrees of awesomeness that varies and some of that is in the eyes of the beholder. :p

    What is point of this type of weather forecast?

    I have a love hate relationship with the weather forecast and have either not made plans because of the forecast or had plans ruined due to the inaccuracy. The other day BBC weather was telling me it was raining but the sun was out and I was in a T shirt washing the car. They do tend to be...

    A video about fixing my 2008 Granturismo.

    I think yoru will see and hear the difference much more when on the open road. I have an H pipe and when not in RACE mode ( I have the Stradale) the valves open at around the 3000 3500 mark it’s like Armageddon when during but hardly noticeable stationary and just revving. Albeit I appreciate...

    Steel cable across the track ? I came across a complete nutter on a trail bike at the weekend on a local green lane, I was pootling along at about 15mph in the Panda he came past me at what must have been 40 or 50mph. Just around the corner was a family out for an afternoon walk, thankfully...

    Interesting to see how those back boxes and valves work, can I ask, have you got an X pipe ?

    Refubrished subframes!

    If the subframe is in good condition I believe it can be protected without removing it, although full removed would allow for 100% protection. Most of us reply on regular wax protection. See this thread for replacement options...

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    So yesterday I decided to repaint the black highlights on the Strad front bumper which had been rattle canned “satin black” but should be Alfa 693/B Grigio Anthracite Metallic. Prepped and etch primer yesterday, today top coat and satin lacquer. Not a perfect job, but 100% improvement from the...

    The good morning thread

    Need to finish tidying up the “black detail” on the Strad front bumper, I am sure it was originally painted with “blackboard” paint o_O Am taking my son out in the Panda on some local Green Lanes later, bound to upset the dog walkers who don’t seem to have a clue that motor vehicles are allowed.

    EV car driving phenomenon

    Has anyone else noticed how EV’s behave / drive on the road ? I first noticed it as a passenger in Uber’s, as they try to maintain a constant speed and the driver is on and off the throttle you, get a rocking sensation as the regeneration kicks in slowing them and then they have to apply the...
