Maserati Centenary Trip

[hodroyd]

Enzo bring them along, short range are OK for intercar in a convoy and 3.5km is about a couple of miles, or so..!!

 

[EnzoMC]

wow - good luck Maserati...

I think Chris said it -the really celebrations will be the drive down and meeting up with our European cousins

 

[EnzoMC]

Depends what frequency range they cover. e.g. VHF walkie talkies aren't compatible with UHF ones.

TBH the price Mitex quoted was without VAT and P&P. By the time you added on the extras it was cheaper for me to buy it from Maplins. Even the guy from Mitex suggested I get it from Maplins as they were cheaper (when VAT & P&P was taken into account). He did say however he could offer a small discount (circa 5% if a few packs were bought, or slightly more if even more were bought).

As was commented in the Chunnel thread, £75 for something someone may only use on this trip is rather expensive. So it might be better to get a few for the trip and then sell them at a small discount (i.e. loss) to SCD members wanting them, as opposed to going in on a big group buy. Thoughts everyone?

just checked and these are PMR446 band which quick search is UHF - the Motorola ones I have cost about £50 for 2

Message from Maserati....

Registrations to the Maserati100 Gathering are open again, thanks to overwhelming response!

Really? Overwhelming you say...? So overwhelming there are places clearly remaining unfilled.

Well it doesn't surprise me. Maserati have dropped the ball IMHO. Not even putting on so much as tea and coffee for the loyal fans that have spent £K's to attend just to have the door slammed in our faces.

Shame on you Maserati for turning the climax to 100 years into a money making exercise!

Thankfully there are clubs like ours who celebrate the 100 years for the right reasons!

Yep - there are plenty of other Maserati owners making their way to Modena for the weekend, even without cars. I know of quite a few Americans staying in our hotel who won't have their Maserati collections with them... There has been a lot of ticked-off owners out there who are really peeved at being called 'fans', and in their eyes downgraded to a second-class experience.

On the radios - 3.5km range in open air will tend to equate to about 27 feet when used in a closed car.

Now you have no excuse for getting lost if you come on an SCD drive LOL

Spyders rule!

 

[drewf]

How are YOU going to hear a radio over that exhaust? Objection over-ruled....

 

[Tilum]

Not sure if that was aimed at Chris' Doris or MC2, but it probably applies to both of us LOL.

 

[drewf]

Doris - your car isn't loud like the modified cars, T, not by a long shot...
