Things are good, except the car is still not moving due to burst coolant hose, which will hopefully be fixed next week. Myself and MÃ¥rten will be going to Paris for the auto show, so would be cool to meet up with some of you guys. And yes, Frank needs to go to! :)

Greetings to the board, Long time, no see for my part as the car's been immobilized for almost a year and a half (been busying myself with the GTR instead). Anyone on here that wants to meet up on this year's Mondial d'Automobile in Paris?

Even though it does nothing for weight reduction, real carbon fibre skinning looks much better than somewhat poorly wrapped vinyl in somewhat poor condition. I can clearly see why you'll have it removed, I would too.

Good to know mate, but as I said I need to improve first. There's a different set of standards when it come to quality if you compare between a daily-drive Alfa Romeo and an enthusiast's Maserati. For the latter I for one would neither expect nor accept anything but top-notch work - and I'm...

The point at this stage is to make it look better, not to make it lighter, and to gain some practice and learn how to use the carbon fibre before I start casting bits instead. I doubt there's much weight improvement to be had from replacing small interior plastic items with small interior carbon...

Don't know as of yet, will definately be doing some more interior bits in carbon and replacing some **** OEM ICE. Then we'll see, thinking about doing a facelift conversion and polishing the handling a bit, but who knows. Will pick up my other/next project car, a '08 Alfa Romeo 159 3.2 V6 JTS Q4...

Recently bought myself a '00 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS as an additional daily drive. True to my habit of not being able to keep any car I buy in standard condition for a long period of time, I immediately sought to modify it in some way and struck a good compromise between fun, reasonably cheap and...

I'll be going there as I've been invited by Alex Testy (?), the manager of Maserati's car show projects or whatever they're supposed to be called.

There are flights available from Gothenburg to Stanstead, but arriving at Stanstead at about 11 PM on Friday and leaving Stanstead at about 6 AM on Sunday seems a bit out of place taking into consideration that this is a party and I'm very fond of beer. :)

I've not given up just yet, but cannot say it looks particularly promising at the moment. It's a real shame, since I was really looking forward to this (fiancée did as well).

Flying from Gothenburg or Växjö (Vaxjo in English). I looked for flights going to the UK on Friday and back to Sweden on Sunday. Fiancée cannot take any days off, so flight must take off from Sweden at 3 PM or later on Friday. In addition, we must be landing back in Sweden at 9 PM at the very...

Looks like me and mademoiselle Alecci are out of luck. All the cheap flights are filled, only seats on the expensive ones left. Not sure I can justify the cost of about 600 quid for the air travels alone.

No problem mate, you're excused. :) As I said before, my hat's off to you for pulling this thing together.

The government of one's significant other, in this case mademoiselle Alecci. I'll try to bring along MÃ¥rten as well, if he's welcome. It's quite amusing seeing him doing ***-slides down the stairs once he gets sufficiently drunk.

Ah, but I did! It's in the last PM that I sent you in response to your asking what food I'm into. :)
