Just out of curiosity, given the fact that you have the Maserati and Capri, can I ask what is it that prompts you to pick up the Capri keys for a drive rather than the Maserati?
Both cars have there benefits, the Maserati is a fantastic car and I love driving it hearing the twin turbo's whistle has become almost as addictive as the twin 45's on the Capri and obviously it has plenty of pace.

The Capri for me is just so cool and always puts a smile on my face. The fun factor is there straight away without the need for silly speeds. The Capri is the more pampered of the two but still gets plenty use/stick. The Capri may not have the power or speed of the Maserati but handles well and feels nice and nimble.

On a nice day nothing beats going out in the Capri for a bit of fun.
That's not a bad choice to be faced with, LDM, to be honest! I was asking as both are GT cars rather than having, say, a GT and two-seat convertible, which would present very different drives.
I agree with your comment about "silly speeds" - I had a C63 AMG Coupe for a week and, whilst it made the most incredible noise, it only really started to engage in 'fun' once the 'ahem' motorway speed was hit... unlike the Puma, which is easy to have great fun in well below such speeds.

Oh, and those ^^^ two Populars are pretty wonderful too.

My 2013 ST2. Had the Mountune MP215 fitted from 400 miles. It's garaged and covered all the time, and only used on dry days. It's never been out in the rain yet.

I absolutely love it.

Thanks Neil smile

Gave them all a fresh coat of paint last weekend and re-painted the wheel nuts and hub nuts when I re-fitted them too, really pleased with the result:

I think a nice set of banded 16" steels would work well with your car. Although it will look excellent on those you are saving for smile

I've posted mine before but it's had quite a few changes since the last time including a Puma 1.7 engine transplant, uprated brakes, AP coilovers, full Piper 421 2.25 inch exhaust system and a remap with removed torque limiters and increase rev limit, even more fun to drive now.

That looks great, splitter works really well on it. So what is the power now?

With the mountune its 215 bhp, the yellow mountune badge on the back alone adds 2bhp smile
