Maserati Grand turismo

What a fantastic looking car , and with 4 seats the interior was beige leather which set off the dark green paintwork nicely( not the usual red leather ),
funny thing was we were right near the front so were going to be one of the first car off the ferry , there was no sign of the owners ?? the 4x4 was parked pretty close ,door was close to the Maseratis rear quarter , alot of fellow petrol heads stood guard and made sure the owner of the 4x4 didn't bump the Masser , which was funny ...........not like the bint parked next to me who banged her door against mine hard , Absolutely no care really pissed me off ....I made a loud comment about it , she got a bit shirty , husband went all apologetic . Then the wife says I'll bang our door against hers !! WHAT !!!Women ...er NO !! that will only damnage the paint on my door !!!
would have been worrying if this bint in the Mondeo was parked next to the Masser !!

and never did see them turn up , so couldnt get to hear the V8 fire up Certainly a good alternative to a DB9 for a 4 seater GT car

anyway if the owner is on here , we made sure your car wasn't bumped on the ferry

It was only a week or so ago when I was chasing one of these on the dash to the coast run, amazing sound! Absolutly magical.

1 of these passed me on Saturday afternoon in use as a wedding car.

It was only doing about 20mph and i still loved the sound of the thing. I was on foot on a quiet road so was nothing to interfere with the exhaust note.

I normally see a few of these on my commute up the embankment in london - I can tell you, they sound fantastic smile

Amazingly (given that they cost the equivalent of GBP200k) they are quite common here!!!

One of my neighbours has one with some option exhaust on it and that does sound rather sexy!!

However my new Datsun and my old Volkswagen still go quicker hehe

wouldn't say no if someone is offering however ....
