    My GT is sold!

    Following on from the used prices thread, I enquired about a price for my GT with my main dealer and made me a very good offer. And this got me thinking (even more than I was before) about trimming down my cars and motorcycles and buying something frivolous. The GT has always been an every...

    So Mrs Hawk has bought a new car .....

    ..... and it is a surprising choice (at least I think so). For some time Mrs Hawk (a confirmed petrol head in her own right) has been looking for a new car. She loves a big SUV and left to her own devices, she would be driving a Rambo Lambo or a full military spec Hummer. With those and...

    HAPPY ST GEORGE'S DAY

    I am fiercely proud to be English and constantly p!ssed off that this pride is confused with racism and bigotry. Anyhoo - happy St George's day to all.

    PLACE YOUR BETS .... WARRANTY OR NOT

    Washed my GT on Saturday and then took her for a spin to the supermarket. On returning, I noticed that the drivers side headlight washer was siting proud from the bumper and that the passenger side was missing completely. I can say with absolute certainty that they were there before I went to...

    Gran Turismo 4 year service

    My GT Sport is coming up to 4 years old (and 25000 miles) and so I have just had a call from my supplying dealer asking me to book in the 4 year service ...... at a cost of over £2900. Now this seems excessive to me (especially as best I can tell the, the only difference between 2 years and 4...

    The recommend me a watch winder thread ....

    As the watch thread is pretty active on here, I am hoping that you can recommend me a good watch winder. I seem to have spent a small fortune over the years in trying to find watch winders that meet the following needs: 1 - actually move enough to keep the watch 'charged' 2 - work with large...

    I WANT A 360 SPIDER ... ANY REASON NOT TO GET ONE?

    I have wanted an open top / targa Ferrari for a long time and have considered a California but keep coming back to the 360 Spider. This would be a fun car for me and would be used as a sunny day toy. Anything I should be aware of?

    Anyone know if Prestige Installs (Audio) has gone under?

    I have been trying to contact Paul at Prestige for sometime now. About a month ago I spoke to the shop to ask about an install (circa £1500 so a worthwhile job) and was asked to confirm everything by email. I have since sent 6 or 7 emails, tried contact via the website and also calling (the...

    MRS H WANTS A G WAGON

    The title says it all really. She loves big cars / SUVs and has always been a Mercedes fan. And she wants a G Wagon. I know the following about G Wagons: They look like they were designed by a 2 year old with a crayon The fuel efficiency of the diesels is so bad you may as well have the...

    The Levante is ....

    .....an overpriced, not especially good car. Why do I say that I hear you ask? Over the weekend a few warning lights (ESC, ASR and suspension) popped up on the GT and so I decided to drop it in at the MD as it is pretty close to me, the car is under warranty and it also needed a clean :) They...

    Recommend me your favourite album

    With me working at home for the last week or so and for the foreseeable future, I am rapidly working my way through my vinyl LPs and have even got the CD player out of the loft. And I'm getting bored of Spotify recommendations so asking the SM massive to recommend me some listening. I really...

    Living with a Gran Turismo

    I've now had my 2017 GT for a few months and have racked up a few thousand miles and thought it might be useful for any prospective buyers to read about my experience and thoughts. I bought my GT for very specific reasons. I wanted a proper 4 seater that wasn't a saloon (think RS, M car or...

    Recommend me a fun small car ...

    For as long as my daughter has bled me dry with her horse habit (trust me, a cocaine addiction would be cheaper!) and we have needed a big 4WD (horsey tow car). But she is now in Australia for a couple of years and so the horses have gone - as has the 4WD - and the wife has been bouncing...
