So picked up the 04 cambiocorsa in grigio Alfiera yesterday & drove her the 350 miles home last night & this morning, what a car, what an engine, what a bloody great racket!
I'm going to be having some fun in this toy!! Very happy albeit a little tired!

Congratulations Snowflakes. Now the fun really begins. Hope the weather keeps clear so you can get out and enjoy her.

Thanks Loz! Fortunately our front room window looks directly onto the drive; shall we just say I'm paying more attention to the car on the sofa than the England game!!

Yep, I'll be at llandow now! If you send over your details & what you need I'll tx ASAP! Is there anything I need to know about the day? Do I need anything other than the car & a tank of high octane?

seems no-one likes my postcode in central Bristol city ... best option is going to be REIS for £1500, price to pay for our house location :-(

Hmm, I've insured my Maseratis (3200, Gransport) at Bristol harbourside properties, it's always been in the 700-800 GBP mark.

SF....have used the confused et al sites in last two years......granted they have a SH!T reputation for dealing with claims......but 1st central was 50% cheaper than their quote last year!!!!!!

SF, Saw you smiling on the M32 this morning [south bound].

Insurence seems high, mine was only £430...or maybe age and my experiance help ;o)...also was just out of town at Emersons'

I kind of figured £1500 for 32 y/o, BS2 postcode wasnt so bad for a 400 bhp toy but looks like I was way out!! I tied virtually everywhere but guess that lack of RWD "experience" cost me dear for the first year?!

Safrane, was that the point I was gunning it down the M32 or taking it easy? Way too easy to get In some serious mischief in these cars! Look me up if you're in town, we live pretty much next door to Temple Meads & Hamilton Specialist Cars (stockists of a regular flock of maserati)

If it was not your daily drive you could have parked it in the garage here and saved a grand!

I flit between EG and Clifton so may see you around...currenlty between Masers at the moment...oh and ever you drive slow, or it was your cooling down section of the M32 ;o)

Luckily not going to be my daily drive - would hate driving from the city centre to filton daily & think I'd end up broke & crying!! I can get the train from Temple Meads to my company car park every day ..... hence I can get a weekend car now! And what a lovely weekend car!!

Actually should add some photo's now I've actually bought her ..... hang on .....
