Asking for a friend: Using a basic OBD2 fault code reader is it possible to tell which wheel has a faulty ABS sensor? Or can this level of diagnostic only be achieved with a Maserati system? A friend of mine has IMHO been ripped off by his local garage who seem to have guessed where the problem...

… at 20% of the price?

With so many events being cancelled due to sodden ground conditions, has anyone heard anything about the Departure Lounge meet on Saturday? I doubt the field we normally park on will be that great and there’s more rain forecast over the next few days, although Saturday does look dry …

Bit of a mixed bag of a review from ‘a bit gutless’ with ‘turbo lag’ to ‘I love it’! … at least that’s some of what I heard:

This Parliamentary Petition arrived via email from biddingclassics, making a good point about the high level of tax some of us are paying for our lightly used modern classics. Signatures are needed. Please sign it if you agree … https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/654884/signatures/new

Some of us were discussing this recently on another thread (which I can’t find now). My Auto Italia just arrived with a good article on the V12 range 400 series through to the FF. A useful read if you’re thinking of buying one, although there’s no mention of the valve guide problem in the 456...

In noticed quite a favourable review of the new GT Trofeo in my latest Auto Italia. Although, they do point out that it has a very different character to the old GT, on account of the all-wheel drive set up and the V6 twin-turbo marking 'a decisive shift away from sportiness towards refinement'...

My car insurance renewal with Churchill arrived this morning. The premium is up 40% on last year! No explanation for this exponential rise has been offered by them. I've been with them for a few years and I haven't made any claims, so I've no idea why this is. Perhaps I will ask?! Is this...

YouTube found this for me, a great documentary of the 53 Mille Miglia:

In Berlin for a long weekend with Mrs W. Walking along Unter den Linden to our hotel I spotted the VW Group Forum which is currently marking 75 years of Porsche with a few select cars. Well worth a visit and really excellent marketing for the marque:

So ‘fouriserie’ is what we’d call customisation … very nice! Maybe Santa will give me a golden ticket to the “Wonka Factory” for Xmas(?)

… to run a Maserati that’s used fairly normally (ie not a cosseted garage queen)? 42p per mile in maintenance costs, according to JayEmm:

I noticed this problem on my iPhone yesterday; couldn’t get on the forum using Safari although no problem on my Mac Book Pro. I’ve just downloaded Google Chrome onto the iPhone and got on the forum straight away with that, so folk may want to try that …

According to JayEmm, the bubble has burst for Porsche with dealers heavily discounting new stock and massive price discounts in the nearly new market, thanks to an over supply in a cost of living crisis with rising bank base rates impacting car financing … Surely it’ll happen elsewhere too(?).

I was out in 3200 today, between storms, to find flood water in a few places. Remembering that the air intakes are quite low - at front grill level - I kept to the crown of the road and crept through very slowly. What actually is the risk of swallowing enough water through the air intakes to...

I guess that whine over the soundtrack is the synthesised substitute of an exhaust note you buy with one of these(?).

Seems he’s decided to sell after testing the car on a road trip …
