Took a Maserati Grand Sport out today from GP. Only a quick 10 min run out but saw a yellow Gallardo on Nottm ring road and a Phantom. plenty of new stock in GP`s at the min. And a nice Enzo getting a new grill put on in the workshop. Also was a 430 CS with a nice spoiler on parked up.

Hey Pasco. To be honest I`ve never been a fan of them. I just took it out cos it was the only car they were showing. They are probably good as a company car. But not for a sports car. Although it was comfy.

Astons are a much better choice. You get comfy and fast. But not always loud. I prefer the V8 to the DB9. But I didnt really like the DB7

If you wanted loud. You should have had my old 360. that was louder than any other car on the roads.

Saw a nice DB9 getting a wash at oen of those old petrol stations converted to washers places down the otherside of Stourbridge today. Seen him before, its a nice motor, the red brake calipers look quite good on the car!

Im amazed, the Maserati is much more of a drivers car than an Aston, either DB9 or V8.

Asotns are for old folks, even my mother told me I wasn't old enough yet and you need to be 50 plus to have an Aston, and she's right!

V8 Vantages are taking a massive pasting at the moment price wise, so is everything mind, ut they are getting really cheap.

Problem is, they are full of Fiesta switchgear and even if you can see past that, they are just not fast.
They sound fast, but they could do with putting more energy into movement and less into sound, last time I got out of the Gallardo into one it felt like I had left the handbrake on!

Pasco, the Larni exhaust and replacement cats would certainly solve that problem. Def worth looking at.

I do agree with you in some respects, but to me I just dont like Maserati`s. Saying that I doubt I would ever buy an Aston either. I will stick to my Ferraris and Lambos. And I know what you mean about the slowness, they are a mile behind the Italian Thoroughbreds. Not that I drive fast anyway wink

Hey Kris how are you? Do you have any more vids from the Tunnel run we did together other than the ones that are on youtube?? Also do you have any pics I can steal from then of my car? I have lost all my stored pics and vids of my comp so I`m trying to use other peoples. Also do you still have any from when I took the gallardo round to your house??

Also if anyone else has any pics of me/my cars please can you pass them on to me as I want to get my collection back.
