What an apt thread...

Coming home from my last appointment in the work van (LWB Vivaro) about half hour ago, I hit 2 massive pot holes, I'm sure there's a clunk from under the van now, I'll have to check. Annoying thing is, they've been marked round with white paint and the road will be closed tomorrow for resurfacing so it's not like I can complain to the council.

More expense if there's damage done!

Also, I had word from the guy that bought my Maserati that I traded for the RR, he hit a pot hole a couple of weeks back and blew the n/s/f tyre and took a chunk out the alloy, mind you, the tyres were like rubber bands thank god I didn't have to replace any  2006 Mercedes CLS

But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

Meant ask before how was the Maserati? I nearly bought a 3500GT not so long ago but never tested it.

WHEN it worked, it was fantastic, the V8 burble on startup was fantastic, turbo lag was a bit tricky to control in the wet, especially if you went to overtake someone and it kicked down, (It was an auto) Generally the noise of it when you nail the throttle and get it up in the revs was unreal, there was endless ammounts of shove and it actually seemed to accelerate faster from 90mph onwards. Twin equal size turbo's meant the power was either on or off almost caugt me out changing from 2nd to 3rd going down a sliproad at 70mph, luckily the ASR kicked in and kept it in a straight line. It got loads of attention everywhere it went, was pretty comfortable too, better on fuel than the RR aswell.

But it did have it's downside, and that was the electrics. In the 6 months I had it, I'd spent close to £2k in repairs for things like knock sensors, lambda sensors, (Ferrari ones being the cheapest ones I could find that were compatible), the horrendous drive by wire throttle body went away twice to get refurbished as they wear out amongst other things. But then, it wouldn't be Italian if it was reliable

I'm not sure if I'd buy another mind, it's one of those cars where it's nice to say you've owned one.

I love the Gran Turismo. I SO want one for the noise it makes.
