Your gorgeous Mexico still gives me goosebumps when I look at the photos, I hope you don't regret selling it... wink
Strange, but this beautiful thing has the same reaction with me too. I'm totally immersed in this car, it's totally under my skin and whilst I truly want to keep her forever, it's time to move it on, but only if the right offer comes in
PM me. I'm interested. N

I didn't until I visited the Panini collection in Italy.
You did better than me. I went there after a tour around the Maserati assembly plant......and couldn't find it! Despite asking locals several times and being told 'it's just there', I gave up (it was late in the day).

It's an odd set-up. You need to find the Hombre Farm first. There's a long driveway that takes you past the cows. Farm shop is on the right. Past there, on the left is the building housing the collection. Don't expect any signs.

The sticker album building used to be on the left too IIRC smile

Was a great way to spend an hour or two mooching around.

(I also liked the DeTomaso one which wasn't far away, but believe this shut down a bit ago now (it's 13yrs or so since I went).

Yes, the sticker bit is opposite the shop. I was there last week to buy some cheese.

It's Rosso Magma .....honestly the best colour I have ever seen , obviously a pearl and it absolutely sparkles. It is only available on the Centenary Strad.

I have actually sold this one now and just waiting for my Levante

Grandturismo S, bought in July, White with Red interior, full MC Sport Line Carbon Fibre options thrown at it including steering, completely bling!

After owning for a few months I'm very happy (4 adult seats, heated in the front). It has the best noise of any car ever and has to be on every petrolhead's bucket list of cars to drive/own just because of that. The fact when you press the sport button it gets as loud as a TVR with straight pipes is just unbelievable it's legal. It doesn't ride with the magic suspension of the E60 M5, but when I look down at the speedo I'm going faster anyway, this car just eggs you on.

The surprise for me - the gearbox. I know I'd be OK living with the semi-auto MC gearbox having used the M5 for so long, but I didn't realise how good it would be. The flatshifts you get when you've pinned the throttle to the floor and the revs are over 5.5k rpm with the MC-Shift Strategy are just delicious.

The multi-media system is dated and has usability issues, the seats could provide a little more support when you're tanking on in corners and the parking sensors play up when they get soaked. It's not the greatest car in the world ever but it has what most miss, it has a soul and I love it!
