Right, you’re doing it on purpose now. Someone give me a clue. Please.

Going to look at a Maserati over the weekend. That’s right. Maserati. Forget Ferrari. Cool dudes go Maserati. Like really cool...

Imagine in the pub... bloke next to you at the bar: ‘yeah man like I love my focus ST, it’s like really cool innit, wot you got?’

You: ‘Maserati’

The End.

My daughters last boyfriend that she finished with because he was so boring had a



Maserati.



He now has i8. How interesting is that........



Richard, you are interesting enough and really don’t need one.



Her current boyfriend has got some BMW 130i crapbox thing but that doesn’t matter because he is heavily into enduros, trials and road bikes.

On the downside, she has decided that she wants to take her full test on a bike and is now riding around on her little 125 when she can in preference to her Boxster.......

Thanks Peter

It's a nostalgia thing and it's in the name, I had a dinky toy Maserati racing car when I was a nipper.......




Sadly, it's more bucket list than aspiration......................

And yet... full page ad inside front cover of latest issue of Sprint received today... big pics of the renovation works on the 'new factory'...
You can't knock their self-belief.

Just read this. I really hope they start producing cars

[Penrhyn]

I wonder what can temp you in the Maserati range, not their SUV thing surely or is that Shirley

I do like the 4200 though

When I was looking this year the GranTurismo and XKR X150 were on my shortlist before I settled on the Chimaera.
The fear of expensive bills put me off the other two, meaning I classed the TVR as the sensible, practical option
And my God I love it

[N7GTX]

This ad on PH gives a straight appraisal of the 4200 and its common faults.

It sounds very much like a hands-on type of car with an Italian temperament

When you hear Ford Focus ST, I suppose it would be unkind for you to mention your Aston Martin Vantage (Sub-Zero on the cool wall).
Maserati is a good answer.

Maserati was a very cool marque in the 1920s and 1930s, but after the War, it was owned by a sequence of different car companies and lost its way. Known best in the UK now, for very fast (depreciating) 4 seater coupes.

Totally get that Iain, had a stunning Italian girlfriend when I was working in Naples some years ago... she was very hands on with a completely unpredictable temperament... totally awesome... she’s probably 20 stone now with 10 kids married to a bloke who only ever wears a white vest with red wine stains down the front of it and smells of lemon and olives... and anchovies..

I've just read about another PH bloke has bought a Maserati today , a 430 saloon with RHD .

With you on this one Jon... I’m familiar with the story of the Maserati family, and what a great name for an Italian car company... wouldn’t work in our green and pleasant land though.... British surnames just don’t have that something that makes you want to name a car after them... just imagine, if it had been the case I might now be the proud owner of a Wilkinson Chimaera 500... back to the bar scenario again.. ‘so what do you drive?’

‘I’ve got a Wilkinson’

Isn’t that a razor blade ?

I had fun driving a maserati quattroporte for a day, just enjoying that exhaust note, and being a child at every opportunity just to hear it
