    Goodwood FoS recommended accomodation in the area?

    On Thursday I managed to book a place on airbnb between Chichester and Bogna Regis only 10 mins from circuit for Sat and Sun nights. Might be worth a look.

    Hi. Unfortunately I’m not going to make it and have gone pork. Hopefully someone will benefit from my spot and + 1.

    Fezza Prices

    This sort of reflects what I’m finding at the moment even at the £40k-£50k end of the market. I’m being told that very little is selling so can’t offer me much on my GS. Don’t mind that provided I’m seeing a similar adjustment on what I’m buying, which I’m not. At least the Cali’s have got...

    Only me confirmed but will hopefully find a mate who can drag themselves away for a few nights.

    916 Spider

    I am nervous of the power hood - feels like just a matter of time! The advice from my local specialist is that all Italian cars need to be used and hate being sat. Sounds like more than enough incentive to get the roof down at every opportunity! What exhaust have you gone for? Really not...

    916 Spider

    This car is hilarious. After replacing the battery all the dash lights now don’t work - the cabin was in complete darkness when i drove home tonigbt! A blown fuse? What is with Italian cars. If it were a Renault I would be selling it but for some reason the more an Alfa plays up the more I...

    916 Spider

    So after a relatively short amount of time I’m finding the powerflow exhaust drones too much for my liking. Any thoughts on what to try to quieten it down a bit?

    916 Spider

    Oh and since you're such a knowledgeable bunch, do you know what my options are for replacing the glass for the front drivers side fog light? The bulbs are all good, it’s just the glass that’s broken. Thanks!

    916 Spider

    Thanks guys. That car sounds epic. Finally got round to having a proper look in the daylight today and the tailpipe is branded powerflow. I’m not familiar but a quick google suggests they’re well regarded. Perhaps I just need to adjust my expectations! However a more pressing and less...

    916 Spider

    So I have this evening added another Italian to the stable alongside our Mito Cloverleaf and GS, in the form of a P2 TS Spider. Bought locally from some alfa enthusiasts she's no garage queen but seems to have had most of the common faults sorted. She's had some exhaust work done over the...

    Alfa luck continues

    Sorry to hear. We were in a similar situation a couple of months ago (wife's Mito qv). Despite cost of engine etc. still not as much as depreciation hit on a newer car.

    Just wanted to say a thank you for those who organised. It was my first Maserati meet and great to see so many cars. Good to get chatting to fellow enthusiasts and sorry I didn't get chance to say hello to more of you.

    Ace Meet 11th May!!

    Well I'm first! Parked up where I was told on far left of the ramp as you face the window. I almost took the attendants legs off when reversing back - do we get points for that kind of thing?

    Ace Meet 11th May!!

    Hello, I've been lurking on here ever since I picked up my Gransport from Richard Grace last year and am hoping to come along to the Ace Cafe meet. Sounds as though it is going to be a popular one! I'm working in the city and will need to leave the car somewhere during the day. I was...
