Hi from a sometime lurker,

I've been smitten with Italianitis Automachina for a while - Alfas until recently. A couple of years back got a 2006 Gransport from Nuvola. Recently someone kindly smashed in its RHS whilst parked at home, bending doors, sills, wheels and chassis.

I now have a 2010 GranTurismo S Auto. Very much enjoying this forum (and there's quite a few here from AlfaOwner days).

Welcome and on your second Maserati.
Shame about the demise of the GS.

 

[CatmanV2]

Welcome indeed. That wasn't the one that ended up at Gialo's was it?

A big warm welcome Mark....

 

[StuartW]

Welcome along Mark and don't be shy with the pictures! Enjoy the GTS

 

[campagnolo]

Yes it was. If anyone has bought RX06CKG (from Copart) then let me know...

 

[GeoffCapes]

Still waiting for the pics of the GT Mark!

 

[Keano]

and are you also a cyclist ?

 

[CatmanV2]

Yes it was. If anyone has bought RX06CKG (from Copart) then let me know...

It was discussed on another thread. Not sure if a buyer came from here but I saw it at Matthew's. I hope you weren't in it, or at lest you're all OK. That seemed to be a **** of a bang.

Welcome. There is a silver GS with similar damage on Eurospares braking section.

 

[campagnolo]

Cyclist? Yes, albeit more in my youth. Also a bit of a wheel builder and a Campagnolo fanatic (I think I went to the factory in Vicenza once).

The car at Eurospares is indeed my old one. The guy that hit it (we were out at dinner that evening) said it'd not been hit hard...

 

[campagnolo]

The day of purchase. Thinking of getting the rims painted black...

 

[GeoffCapes]

Very nice. I do like those Alloys. Looks like you got it from ADG?

Have they still got the Grigio Nuvolari 4.2? (the one in the back ground)?

 

[GeoffCapes]

Very nice. I do like those Alloys. Looks like you got it from ADG?

 

[campagnolo]

Guys, thanks for the warm welcome.

Mark, yes, bought from ADG, who were great. It had 1 previous owner, who may have had the plate W1LLS on it, I think.

I do like the wheels, I just don't much like their colour. So - like many of us, who consider our cars to be nigh on perfect, I am now embarking on changing the alloys to black and fitting cameras ;-)

 

[JohnC]

Yes, that looks like ADG (Alastair in the background if I am not mistaken) but where have the doors at the back gone to drive cars out? I'm sure they were there last time I was there probably a year ago...

 

[StuartW]

Congratulations, that does look fantastic

 

[CatmanV2]

Looks very nice!

Looks like David in the background to me.
