    Granturismo at Mallory Park

    I saw this Granturismo at Mallory Park yesterday (only stationary sadly, as I'd like to have seen/heard it on track) It isn't my cup of tea, but an interesting evolution nonetheless!

    Supercar Megabuild - Maserati

    I just watched it - an absolutely terrible program, and a perfectly good Ghibli completely ruined. An awful program in just about every way, from the ridiculous pretence, cod ‘acting’, embarrassing presenting and shocking mess of a car at the end. ‍♂️

    My Biennial Servicing Question

    I know that there is a section on Servicing advice somewhere on this Forum but I can't find it (probably as my car only needs servicing once every two years...) so apologies for what is an often asked question: As my car is used even less in these current times, and yet needs servicing, I am...

    Detailing and Wheel Refurbishment recommendations - Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey

    Can anyone recommend any organisations that provide decent wheel refurbishment and detailing services (it doesn't have to be the same organisation obviously!) in the Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey area? I'm interested in having both done, but don't want to go mental on the cost, so any...

    Hello again everyone I know that this subject must have been covered extensively on this forum but I can't find the 'Servicing' sticky or thread so here is my question....... I have a GranTurismo S which I absolutely LOVE. It is due a service (a major one I think) but I am not taking it back...

    Warranty work at Maranello, Egham - views please

    I bought my Gran Turismo S last summer with 6 months of extended Maserati warranty remaining. When the car was serviced at Maranello Egham, last Dec/early Jan., I asked for a few a minor items to be looked at which were fixed under the warranty (one of the reasons for me buying this...

    Neptune Wheels colour question

    My car comes with Grigio Mercury Neptune apparently as part of the Sports Pack, and yet they look different (slightly darker) to other Grigio Mercury Neptune wheels. They are definitely not Nero (black) or the normal standard (stainless steel/unpainted?) Neptune wheels, but are there OTHER...

    Adjustable Head Restraints?

    I was watching an episode of Fifth Gear recently and there was a piece about road safety and how to set yourself up WITHIN your own car to minimise any injury should the worst happen...... Anyway, one of the pieces of advice given was to ensure that the top of the head restrain is level with...

    Flat Battery? (humble pie!)

    Well this is annoying, considering that a similar thing happened when I had a 4.2...... :-( I have a 2012 4.7 GTS now with only 17k miles on the clock which has been fantastic, but went to get in yesterday evening and the battery appears completely flat. Neither remotes can unlock the car...

    Lambda Sensor replacement?

    Apologies of this has already been posted but.....my Gran Turismo has its 4 year service coming up, which at a main dealer is nearly £3K! Now, I clearly don't want to pay that and will haggle, but I need the stamp in the service booklet to maintain the Full Maserati Service History. I...

    Gran Turismo in 'Spectre'?

    This is a bit sad I know, but I went to see 'Spectre' yesterday and in the scene where Bond is about to enter the big Spectre meeting and before the car chase through Rome, Bond walks through the car park after having parked his DB10. Is the final car in the row before he enters the building...

    Throttle 'blip' on down change

    As you may have read, I have been lucky enough to upgrade to a quite lovely Gran Turismo GT S 4.7 Auto, with sports pack. It is SO lovely......:shy1: Anyway, I have a question: I have only had the car three days so it is still early doors but.....when test driving an MC Shift previously...

    I just upgraded from a 4.2 to a 4.7 Auto S (with sports pack) - nice!

    Wow! What a car! Thanks for all the advice on here and in particular to Richard Grace who had the time and patience to talk to me, even when I was on holiday, about my potential new purchase. What a excellent fellow he is. Seriously. Also thanks to bigbob on here - his comments, in...

    Exhaust sound - MC Shift vs 4.7 Auto

    I know that this has been covered elsewhere but I can't find the thread so..... I am going to upgrade from my 4.2 Gran Tursimo to a 4.7S or MC Shift. What I need to know is: does the exhaust note/sound on the 4.7S Auto in any mode, sports or otherwise (is it only over 3,000 revs?) sound...
