Picked up the Maser last night and after 24 hours of fun (with a bit of sleep in between!) I can say I'm well chuffed.





and even the pet pooch approves!!

Very nice mr flash. How does it perform? I hope the dog savoured the moment and thats the last time it gets in the Maserati.

It flies!! Much smoother than a TVR but much more of a GT car. I'm well impressed with the build quality.

God that's a *beautiful* car, and a good sign that you're well on the mend Andy. Really good colour scheme too. Is it black or a dark shade of another colour? You're going to have some fun in that; loads of charisma and it's a real hoot when those turbos light up. Well done. I'm so pleased for you. Kevin

Cheers Kevin. It's metallic black. I was a bit worried whether I would love it as much as the TVR's I've had but in truth it would be an unfair comparison as it's a totally different experience. It really does make you feel a million dollars and oozes class and refinement while still packing an awesome punch.

The only annoyance yesterday was being hit by a huge stone on the A14 which has cracked the windscreen. Still, rather that than the bodywork.

Off out again this morning in the sunshine!

Whats the gearbox like flash?

Gearbox is excellent, although a bit reluctant when cold. Not sure if it's me!

Glad I have the auto box, it's a proper Grand Tourer with it....

Dumb question but you wern't in Northampton yesterday by any chance?

YEP!! Spotted I bet! We had a fun blat with my mate and his wife who own a 2001 Corvette and then lunch where we caused a stir in the car park.

Just to answer another question someone asked, I sold the TVR because I was struggling to get in and out of it after my operations and because it was really painful to drive. Other reasons were that my fiance can use the Maser for work and we can get rid of our third car. On top of all that I cant fly for quite a long time and we wanted something we could tour Europe in during the Summer....

Plus......I love the Maser 3200GT and have wanted one for ages...and it's superb!
