Who told you not to take pics Nick?

I assume the young driver or owner!

Bloke over the other side of the barrier, can't remember if it was the one in orange or the one in the merc top.

Video from inside the Ghibli lapping at Brooklands yesterday (with bad language). Apologies for the steering technique, you have no idea how heavy the steering is on this car unless you drive it. Most cars came with a larger wooden wheel but mine was specified with a small Ferro sports wheel which makes tight turning a gym session.

Get electric power steering fitted from the guys over in Holland, I've had two old cars converted, it transforms the way they drive

I have thought about it but I'm worried that I will lose the feel of the car. I really like the feedback on cornering and don't want to lose it. How have you found it?

I was told by a few lads on the day that our Maser 's were the loudest cars there and they loved them. I think we all agree. Some of the new Lambo's & Fezza's seem so quiet now. Could barely hear the Pagani.

Had a fab time. Nice to see everyone again. I think you can hear my QP accelerate down the straight on the 10 and 11 minute marks (but it could have been the 8c behind me!) - I had to shoot right after this to get to Norwich.

Â£1800 for the Opel.

Silly money you can buy a kit in the US for $900, I'll get Chris to pick me one up.

It's basically all the same, yours is Â£5500 because it's a Maserati, hate companies that do that and I won't be dealing with them.

And following on from previous upload, here is the link to the one taken from inside car using go pro.
Its a bit muffled possibly due to velcro stuck on mic so doesn't sound like the one from out of the car.

Bl**dy **** maf pulled grace Jones

Its Maf's pink bangle and limp wristed handshake that attracts the young men. I'm not sure that the picture of the chap in the passenger seat carrying an adult toy with the word "rode" on it is suitable for a family forum.

Wait my mistake that is not a handshake. That is payment being made

They have a very sophisticated charging scheme - Value of car x 5%.

Great footage Sommi, love the sound of your QP

I will definitely have a go at the parade lap next year, I didn't bother this time because it was my first show and my rear discs are shot, I have a new set of forum discs ready to go on when I can find the strength to do it, probably a day off on the next nice Friday.

I picked out the rest of the Maserati photos I took:
