Folks

A long(ish) time lurker on the forum, I've often been ther recipient of great advice when it comes to these cars as I've considered purchases and have taken my time but finally, I have one!!
Being in Brisbane, I know the whole 'Oz rip off' has been done before so I've been watching the local market with massive interest over the last 2 1/2 years or so and when a forum member posted the fact that his old 4200 had popped up for sale in Oz (thanks a bunch Peter!) and it was a great car, I decided to take it further.
Much chatting with Peter gave me confidence that this car could be the one for me - low kms, massive and full service history and a good 6-years of ownership report from him, my ideal choice of colours etc etc so I went to Canberra to view.
It was indeed lovely and, due to the circumstances of the seller, I got it for a steal (I think.....and hope!!)
Anyway, as you all are on here, I am now flushed with pride at my new machine and hope only ever to post on the joys of ownership....failing that I might be back begging for help ha ha! Fingers crossed it's only the former.
All I really want to do is thank the forum members (Geoff especially) for all the help in the past and I'll still be lurking here on a daily basis!!

Congratulations Gary. It's great to hear of forum cars passing between enthusiastic owners and it sounds as though you've had some great support and advice along the way. Hope she behaves herself and rewards you with many Maserati smiles.

Congrats Gary, your car looks fab. I'm sure you are going to have many years of pleasure. I am 2 years in to Maserati ownership and I still have to have a quick look out the window every morning. Always brightens my mood !!

Guys

As ever, many thanks for the kind wishes and compliments - from those I've 'spoken' with before as well as the guys who don't know me at all. It certainly warms the cockles of one's heart to know that kind of friendship and support is waiting in the wings :) SM is clearly THE forum to be on! I could go on and on but will leave it there and will be a regular viewer/poster I'm sure!!
Take care folks

Gary
