Lots of questions whirling around in my head now and can't sleep so figured I may as well ask some of them XD
Highest on the list is do any of you have any particular recommended insurers for this kind of car? My normal policy with aviva won't let me change the car online for anything over £75k without calling them up so need to wait for tomorrow now :/
Also wondering am I only supposed to use super unleaded for these?
How is the continent for super unleaded in that case? I've never really thought to look out for it when driving abroad but I guess it would be everywhere just like here.
So nervous about parking it in Guildford town centre, took out the dings and chips insurance for 3 years from H.R. Owen, do you guys look for special places to park your beloved cars when out and about away from home?!
What kinds of attitudes can you expect from people while driving one? I'd hope it may be a bit nicer than some other sports cars.
Finally, what do you guys all do when not being car lovers? I'm in finance and love cars and PC gaming (yeah I know, big kid).
Can't help on the insurance thing, as I have mine insured through a scheme my job offers that allows me to insure any car, any driver for just over £850 pa.
I'm fairly new to Maserati ownership, so there are many more experienced on here, but I don't use Super Unleaded. When I bought the car I was expecting to need to, but was told there was no point as the engine ICU doesn't recognise the difference.
On the reactions from others, all I've had is admiring looks, and people wanting to know what typical of car it is. I even had a lovely old lady, must have been close to 80, stop and offer to help me reverse into a car park space, and then told me what a lovely looking car it was... as such, I would not be worried about the reaction from others.
Finally, in terms of life outside cars, I'm a partner in one of the large professional services firm, and am trying hard to get myself fit enough to run the London Marathon next year...
