Good Morning Everyone, in work at the weekend covering shift, and all is quiet. Lions just beat the All Blacks, which is good.
Went to the Festival of Speed yesterday, the Maserati had new 2018 GTS on the stand, along with the Ghibli, QP and Levante,and the sales people were gushing about it till I asked about the Alfieri, which seemed to put the saleswoman into a depression. I also spoke to the Alfa people if they were going to put the 2.9 QV engine in the Stelvio and the Italian Alfa man said with a smile on his face 'Si, dopo' , I replied 'Como le Levante?' and his smile got wider and with a nodding head he said 'Si!'.
So which would you prefer a Levante or Stelvio if they had the same engine? I'd know which would be most cost effective to live with, despite having common equipment.
Also the Mrs introduced me to Nigel, a McLaren 'Mechanic' who used to work with the likes of Senna, Prost, Hunt etc. but runs in fear of my Mrs as she keeps pestering him to have a go with the gun when changing a wheel. Nice chap, obviously very knowledgeable on the cars and one who would tell you a few stories if he were to go into after dinner speaking. Hmm....
