Today I (or rather, my wife) became the very, very proud owner of a beautiful '07 Mediterraneo Blue GranSport... I felt bought-in the moment I learnt of the extensive history and love this car had been showered with by its previous owners, with AV's endorsement and vouching of its condition serving as the highest affirmation I could think of for buying another Mazzer. Seeing the car in the flesh last week, the exterior bodywork is fantastic and a great combination with full leather/blue piping inside... on the test drive I was pleasantly surprised by the handling and performance... smaller displacement than my QPV (and on paper 0.2 seconds quicker to 60) but feeling significantly lighter and planted, and oodles of power on tap.
Spontaneous this was/is... we saw a 4200 a year or so back and Mrs.Makeshift remarked that the dimensions/proportions were a lot more manageable than our QPV and that she'd be inclined to drive something of that coupe-ilk at some point down the line. This particular GS came up in the forums here recently and a sale promptly ensued, and after collection earlier today it's now safely nestled on our driveway on the missus' birthday. Having one Italian on the drive is one thing, some might describe owning/running two side by side is madness... I guess I'll have to wait and see!
