I'm sure between the Forum and the Owners Club, there will be something that fits everyones needs. Hopefully each could supplement the other :)

Yes Ian, that was me. Abit gutted that me and my mate effectively missed half the halls, including the Maserati stand. However i was like a zombie after a rough few nights sleep. Have decided next year that we will do all of them halls instead. We had a good day out regardless, so thats the main thing.

I felt a bit bad breaking the news! The car was making a great noise sat idling and recognised it almost instantly from Richard's website with those distinctive yellow calipers. Couldn't believe it when we came across another one in blue just a few rows down.

Odd. I had a visit to the Maserati Club stand and a chat with a whole bunch of people. Despite having a current, non-sports, Maserati everyone was very welcoming and happy to chat.

Forum's the way to go. I'm sure one wouldn't be able to say cock, ****, ****** or **** at the Club, whereas you can here. In fact, it's positively encouraged.

Last time I went to the classic at the NEC I bought a Jaguar XJ-S, which was probably one of the least reliable and most fantastic cars I've ever owned. I've been hesitant about going since then.

I mentioned to Alex last night that I'd never been to a car auction. She told me to never ever go to one as I would probably come home with about 4 cars.
I guess that means I need to start finding out where the next one is!

Who said prejudice was dead in modern society? I guess we all see ourselves as normal and are threatened by those who are different...very Trump.

Mercifully, we were joking! I've been a beneficiary of the Club's excellent work at the Maserati Centenary events at the Silverstone Classic a couple of years ago and was delighted and grateful to have the chance to participate. I can't remember if I needed to join to be a part of that, but I don't think do. On that basis alone I must assume them to be fairly inclusive, but a fairly different set up, level of formality and "officialness" to SM, which from an ownership and general community perspective suits me pretty much perfectly.

Chinos? My dear chap, I think corduroy is the way to go when it comes to proper red trousers.

For the chino-style trousers I prefer the brick-colour 'Salcombe Reds', but I don't think a fellow should wear those as far inland as Birmingham.

Good point, not sure which grade of cord to order though. Advice?
