Holiday in a Gransport including luggage photos etc

[Maseratiman]

Just returned from a nice break in the Gransport. We had a fair amount of luggage to pack in, and surprisingly it all fitted!

This was my first real "drive" of the car and it was nice! I have come to the conclusion that the ride is really smooth out of sport on a good road, pretty good in Sport on a good road and a bad road is "hard" in both modes. My holiday routine was simple driving - if there was a sniff of somebody hearing the car the finger went on the button (especially in built up areas, tunnels, roundabouts, pedestrians, barry boys in Corsa's etc). If it was a nice smooth road and no one around then normal mode it was. Country lanes = permanent sport!

I took some microfibre towels, and wiped down the car daily (it got rained on at night + bird poo). I didn't bother CTEKing whilst away.

Parking wise no drama's at all.

Few pics for those wondering how much you can fit in (maybe would be purchasers of a GS?)

Love the smiles! Happy Days
I've had a couple of short holidays taking the GS.
Wife, a 10 year old and 8 year old plus the obligatory **** that one needs when going away - drama.

Well done. We have done a number of 4 k holidays to Queensland and agree they are a great touring car.
One tip is to take a large rubbish bag to take a wheel if you get a flat.( providing you have a spare space saver).

you still had enough room in the boot for a stow away

Always an adventure driving a Maserati but off for a break with family is even better....Sounds like fun and went well.

Happy smiles and a very well kept car.

I was wondering, the tablet of your son looks bigger than your son

Glad you had a great trip.

Surprised the boot is so empty with all the stuff in the car - I hate having bits about the inside so have a good selection of cases that make use of every inch of the boot space and have used them on the three coupes I have had.

 

[stefanocirillo]

The space saver is a good idea. Where can you buy them from?

 

[whereskeith]

Good skills... These are cars to be used.
I have just returned from 7 days away with wife and 2 kids in Algarve in which travelled in the GS.

This is exactly what I want to do when I get one, great photos!

 

[PrathShankar]

I used the excellent tips on this site to have a hub made up to fit a Mercedes Space saver. The problem is you can literally fit nothing else in the boot.....

The only real reason a GS is slightly bumpy on bad roads, is the super low profile tyres, good roads it corners great and is very stable at high speed..!!

Questionable brakes though.

More like driver had very poor reaction based on indulgence lol

 

[Maseratiman]

Sorry the boot got filled!! I just forgot to take the last photo. I used every last inch of space!

 

[Maseratiman]

I got this great thing from eBay which is a bluetooth adapter with radio transmitter. Allows you to send spotify (saved music) on iPhone to the Becker. About £6! Saves getting a new head unit. As people probably know the Becker Indianapolis bluetooth is phone only - not music.

 

[Contigo]

Lol my Mrs pulled you up up on that! Why did he load next to the child and not fill his boot! That's ridiculous!!!! Jeez! Ffs!
