Yes Chrisbassett - thank you for pointing me at this forum! I don't know which car it is, but the owner had also had an Alfa Romeo Giulietta and 2 other Italian cars! I told him that I had owned a VX220 in the past and my fiancee sat in the back seat.
I was actually looking to buy an Alfa last year, but I've been doing 300-500 miles per week for the past 1.5 years, so decided that the Alfa was a more sensible option in terms of running costs - so I got that last October. I'm just about to start a new job as an SAP consultant, so as they will contribute towards the cost of the petrol, etc. I might decide to get a Maserati sooner rather than later...
Yes the VX220 was really fun to drive. I did a track day in it at Anglesey - and found it to be a totally transforming experience to drive it on a track rather than the road - great fun! I used to park it next to Porches - and people would look and point at it, rather than the more expensive Porche. Plus I had people randomly talk to me about it
I eventually sold it to someone in Glasgow - he flew down from there to Luton Airport, to pick it up and drive back! I only sold it because I got a new job which was 4 miles from my house (instead of 20 in the previous job), so I wasn't using it enough.
One thing that really impressed me with the Maserati I went in last Saturday was how nice it was on the inside. Most Audi's, BMW's, Mercedes, etc. that I have been in are far too plain and boring, but the Maserati was a really exciting place to be from the inside, as well as to look at from the outside!
Where is the nearest dealership to Milton Keynes?
