I wrote a little while back about a Cat D 3200 I was looking at, I took on board all of your advise and decided to pass on it. I have the pleasure in saying that yesterday I completed my 200 faultless mile journey back home with a shiny 3200 gt. I am in love if not abit terrified (not just at the power but also my potential bills !) I think I realised how badly I was driving it when on the 50 mile an hour section of the m3 was in sixth gear with less than 2000 revs. Have a lot to learn but will be taking it very easy over the next few days.

Amid, take it easy at first, your would not want to dent her in the first week. Most crashes happen coming out of corners so beware!!

hello, your now a part of a small car club, not many 3200 owners but those that are around...well they still around...not given up on life yet hahahaha

we have grey hair or are bald, thats how you know if we drive a 3200 or not, those with full set of hair are 4200/GS owners.....

Hi Amis and welcome to Trident ownership... I found the sting in the tail of mine this morning so as advised take it easy, I've had my car 6 months now and couldn't say I know its limits yet but I still smile every time I see it or turn the key!

The biggest expense I've had so far has been the fuel and the wax.... oh yes the wax!!!!
