I've gone through a few cars in my 28 years of driving. Relatively Recent past was my first Ferrari, a 2005 612 Scaglietti followed by a low mileage 1999 F355 F1
After becoming over paranoid about where to park, and following a trip to the gravel trap at silverstone in the F355, I decided to relieve some stress and change.
I then went Mercedes S600 LWB. That was nice, but kept going wrong, so I swapped it for an almost new M5 4.4, which I had for 3 years until recently.
After owning the M5 for a while I had some kind of epiphany that I really didn't need a silly car anymore. Before I sold the M5 I did think of swapping into a Grantourismo, but it seemed to much theatre and not so user friendly gearbox for an every day car.
So for the last year or so, I've gone pretty much full sensible. A Mercedes C350 estate and a Hyundai I800 (too many children)
I've had a spare fun car a few times before, and it never lasted very long, but, that seems to be where my head is leading me back to. A bit of theatre and fun for the occasional drive.
Hence the forum joining, I'm back looking at Maserati's as they are very good value
I'm currently trying to buy a 2002 Coupe Cambiocorsa. 78000 miles, with history, not seen it yet, but looks lovely.
Not sure if this is the correct place to ask about a specific Maserati. but my questions are really surrounding the Cambiocorsa box. I know that the later grantourismo didnt go dual clutch, so it gets the lurchy thing going on, parking etc, which I understand and can live with.
Is the cambiocorsa box pretty much the same as a grantourismo would be, or is it radically different, more or less user friendly etc?
Is there a sport button that makes more exhaust noise in the 2002 cambiocorsa?
Let me know if I need to post queries about specific cars somewhere else.
In the meantime, thanks for having me
