    Ski holiday

    Phil, I particularly liked Arnie's hometown Schladming. It has everything you describe and if you go when the night slalom race is on that is a very lively weekend and the race is epic! Austria is probably my favourite skiing destination in Europe, the Austrian's are great fun. Not the best...

    This GT 2008 looks cheap....only £11k

    Perhaps being recorded as Cat C is the reason?

    GranSport LE wanted

    Best of luck Matt. I have to confess I became impatient and did a deal on the XKR I was telling you about, in the end the 510 bhp 5.0 V8 and the noise it made in the Southwick tunnel on the A27 won me over! The day after I signed the paperwork a Victory Blu MCV appears on Autotrader with my...

    Me too! It is becoming a bit frustrating. The only one on Pistonheads that "floats my boat" is this one...

    2006 GranSport Limited Edition - Full leather, recent clutch & brakes

    I was fortunate enough to meet Donny and have a drive of this car on Thursday, fantastic car and lovely guy - a real gentleman. The car is every bit as good as the photographs and Donny's description suggest. It is a testament to the care and money he has clearly lavished on it during his...

    GS anyone?

    Thanks for all your input, very valuable as always. Needless to say the black one you have for sale would have already been on my drive a month ago Richard but I really don't like black cars - a personal taste thing I guess. I did fancy the Rosso one at Nuvola but he had sold it by the time I...

    GS anyone?

    It is classy. I originally was set on anniversary blue with a light interior but I really like the look of this one now! I think the price is a little high for the age and miles though - I will see if a deal can be done.... Cheers Lee

    GS anyone?

    Thanks for the advice re. the dash top. Hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow afternoon! I am leaning towards the grey car anyway, the high miles bother me a bit - not that I think it may cause problems but once I get past 100k I think it might be more difficult to sell on. This guy has had...

    GS anyone?

    Hi Dicky, one of those tougher requests on your list would be me I guess! I am going to look at a couple of Gransports tomorrow which are local to me; http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/maserati/gransport/maserati-gransport-limited-edition--full-leather/1795556 - looks very...

    Maseratis - Spotted

    Nice shiny clean black 3200 visiting The Furniture Factory in Henfield Business Park, Henfield, West Sussex. Sounded great when he blasted off up the road.

    2006 GranSport Limited Edition - Full leather, recent clutch & brakes

    Hi Donny, The car looks stunning in the photos on pistonheads! It may be exactly what I am looking for, I love the colour combination. It is at the top end of my budget but if it is as good as you suggest it would be worth the stretch. Where in Surrey are you? Lee

    Maserati 3200 GT - Ebay

    Here is this seller's reply to my question: "Hi there I'm selling the car under the old description, I have only had it for a couple of weeks. The previous owner has had it for 4years. I cannot keep the car due to unexpected circumstances. The previous owner was selling the car on sports...

    Maserati 3200 GT - Ebay

    Yes, I asked him via the eBay seller question feature how it is possible he has owned the car for 4 years when he in fact bought the car on 3rd September. I included a link to Paul's original listing! The response I got is quite comical! This guy is a total chancer. The deceit irritates me somewhat.

    So what next???

    I thought this was the case but on the 159 and many other cars we have looked at since the ISOFIX points are built into the seatback! This seems to be becoming a common design. Our Fiat 500 and Audi TTS have a solid bar fixed to the chassis which has the ISOFIX hooks welded to it. The result of...

    So what next???

    So what next???

    I would get another one in a heartbeat, had the 1.9 which was underpowered the 2.4 is a great car. My only worry is the rear seat fixing and ISOFIX, we had an accident in ours and the rear seat backs popped out of their fixings. If our little one had been in the car seat or we had rear...

    Maserati 3200 GT - Ebay

    You are listing a Maserati that you bought from a forum member on Ebay on 3rd Sept but you are claiming to have owned the car for 4 years. How is that possible? Nice profit £6900 to £10000+ in 3 weeks - hope you have at least polished it!

    Alfa 4C UK price - 45k

    Interesting review from Pistonheads..... http://www.pistonheads.com/roadtests/doc.asp?c=47&i=28496 My mind is still not made up, I have been wanting this car since 2011 but I agree £45k for a "poverty spec" is too much. However, I don't think Alfa will have a problem shifting them. They may...

    No wonder the German economy is doing so well............crazy!!!

    I couldn't agree more. This is exactly why I am looking to buy a Gransport. I have had loads of very quick and capable German cars but they just do everything too well which leaves you a bit cold - they lack occasion. Currently I am driving a 2011 Audi TTS, it is very quick, handles very well...

    Newbie in West Sussex

    Hi Conaero, I'm in Steyning (near Worthing/Shoreham) so not far from you at all. I am down your way from time to time, usually if there is something going on at Goodwood (I am a GRRC member). Do you ever go to the Breakfast Clubs at the circuit? I went to the last one and there were several...
