    Are High street accessory and car stereo shop a thing of the past

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    My GT is grubby for once, which is great as I won’t feel bad taking the family out in it again today in the mucky weather :D

    Maserati UK sales (or rather lack of them)

    I really think the lack of owner support is a massive drag on sales. As mentioned above, the way Porsche approach this is the polar opposite resulting in lots of repeat business and owners with 2 or 3 Porsches. A classic with full dealer support and a brand new SUV or sports car proudly parked...

    Alloy wheel refurb

    If that’s Worcester park in Surrey I lived there for 12 years (the hollands) and still drove to lepsons to get work done! They will also pick up nowadays (they did for me in Horsham recently) if you can remove the wheel yourself and store the car. Worth a call to see if they’ll come to...

    Back Pain! Anyone had problems?

    I should add to minimise strain on your back my version of reverse plank is not to lift your whole body off the floor. Lie on your back, feed flat on the floor with your knees bent, lift your pelvis and lower back off the floor keeping shoulders and arms flat on the floor to help stabilise you...

    Back Pain! Anyone had problems?

    My top tip is core strength. If I do a handful of crunches or reverse planks each day (both easier on your back than sit ups and normal planks) within 3-4 days my back pain eases. Any other core strenght builder and stretches should work just as well so find whatever you find easy and or...

    Granturismo Grancabrio Defroster air vent plate rattle

    For info the MD replaced this vent under warranty. Two clips had broken causing the rattle and to my surprise the factory approved the replacement so I’m rattle free again. They also removed the entire engine to repair an oil leak so I only got the car back yesterday after a 3 week spell at...

    Maserati Specialist Recommendation

    What’s the views on Autofficina? I used them 10 years ago when I had my first GT and they did a good job from memory fixing a fault.

    Sportsitalia…the end

    What are the perceived downsides of service garages on a site? I would imagine it Is the thought of partially assembled vehicles being left outside and the general “messy” image of garages with hazardous materials and fluids floating about? Surely most of that could be addressed in the terms...

    Sportsitalia…the end

    That’s brutal. Wishing you and the team all the best. Sadly seems to be a frightening theme. Echo all the above sentiment and glad I was privileged to have used your services and hope you manage a comeback so I can do again.

    CTEK charger

    Just for info after battery failure in my 911 I noticed my CTEK 5.0 MXS still wasn’t charging the new battery. Then noticed the MODE button had no effect anymore so it has obviously failed completely (and wonder if it took my battery with it. ). Interestingly it’s the newer of the two 5.0 that...

    Car dryer blowers

    I bought a Makita DUB185Z. Seems pretty decent but end up using it more for leaves than the car!

    Daily driven maserati

    I would daily my GT if the type of driving suited it. My first GT was my daily for a while as I walked to the train station for work so most of my driving was for fun anyway. A house move meant that was no longer possible as I now have a short drive to the station which I think is best suited...

    Brooklands Auto Italia 4th May!!

    I should be there again, would be good if there’s an opportunity to identify forum members or a place to meet at a specific time as I approached a few Maz owners and none belonged to the forum.
