new Stradale owner in Edinburgh

[jcf]

Evening,

I just picked up my 1st maserati at the weekend, a 2011 MC Stradale.

I purchased it from Bowker Maserati and I have to say I am very impressed with it!

Cheers

John, welcome to the madness! Lovely car, let us know how you get on with her.

Hi, see your made your way over from PH.

Like your car by the way, love the Alcantara trim.

 

[jcf]

I did indeed. The yellow tridents on the Alcantara really work well on it.

 

[jcf]

Now I just need to find a set of carbon or aluminium paddle shifters for it and we are cooking with gas.

Oh and maybe a fire extinguisher for behind the drivers seat. Is that too much? ( I think I know the answer to that already)

 

[allandwf]

I would be VERY impressed with that too. Stunning.

Hi John and a big warm welcome to the forum......One word....WOOOOOOOOOW..................What a stunning car. One thing though..We need more pictures of her when you get a minute.

Hello jcf, welcome to the best forum of any kind anywhere.

What a great car you've picked up there. Charisma in spades and gorgeous to look at. As for the noise... *swoon*. How much better is it than the Aston, though? Go on, spill the beans!

Hope to see you around at some event or other soon.

It's strange I LOVED that aston could not fault it at all but I could not stop looking at the Stradale's so took the plunge.

By the time I had driven the 200 miles from Bowker to Edinburgh I had forgotten all about the aston. It is that good.
The noise is spectacular the power is more effortless in auto and much more aggressive in race.

As for the looks well I am ashamed to say I found myself in the garage last night just staring at it while I was supposed it be out getting fire wood. Sad but true.

Now if this rain will only go off I am going to take it out and smash it. Not literally you understand.

I do the same with my GTS. Just find myself staring at it and thinking what bloody gorgeous cars Maserati make. I normally get twitchy after I've had a car for a year but I just can't think of what would replace the Maser if I sold it. Nothing comes close. Well, other than a 4-seat Stradale.

Delighted that you're pleased with it and as per the other post, do please share some more pictures when youi have time.

Enjoy. Be careful in the Scottish winter on summer rubber.

I am in EH most weeks so will look out for you.

$565.00 / pair! Ouch. That's three fill-ups and close on 1,000 miles of smiles.

 

[dickygrace]

I think they're decent prices tbh, Carbon Fibre isn't cheap.

 

[Felonious Crud]

I'm sure the price is competitive... but it's still a lot of money. Would a carbron wrap work? Could just look messy, I suppose.

thanks for that. i noticed a set on formula dynamics as well. i might go for these, are they self fit ? not sure the dealer would fit the aftermarket parts...
