    Hello from Dubai!

    Good times meeting you and the boys! How about that trip to Silverstone!?!?! I think I will return to the brand when they decide to go for something sporty and lightweight...without Chrysler switchgear!!!

    Hello from Dubai!

    Gents, the time has come to part ways with my beloved GranSport...she's going back to the US (Seattle!) and will be in the good hands of enthusiast Trygve, who I have encouraged to join this forum. In summary, I decided to sell because I wasn't driving her much (<3k highway miles a year in the...

    Hello from Dubai!

    Robert, I picked her up in the US with 20k miles in the summer of 2009, and put on 40k miles since (mind you, I was in London and Singapore for 2 of the 4 years...)...she's my daily :)

    A few pics of my 456 GTA

    If Phil has inspired you towards 456 ownership, this looks like a very nice example... http://www.rardleymotors.com/docs/cars/show.php?id=179&p=30&page=1&srt=model_year

    355 at Mad Chris's

    I got into my GranSport, because the Ferrari dealer in Boston told me the 355 was going to be an expensive car to run (engine out cam belt changes, valve guide issues, OEM exhaust bits cracking due to heat, etc.) and is not one to be driven daily like a GS. That said, I must get into one...

    575M purchase advice

    Update: Deal has been consummated, and my friend is trading in his Mercedes AMG C63 for this beauty plus GBP 10,000. Not bad, eh? ;) Car came up with the following in inspection: 1) Window washer tank was broken and sensor required cleaning (hence the error light on dash) 2) Bilstein race...

    Pics from Maserati Trofeo Championship in Dubai

    GranCabrio S (automatica w/ black oval tips) makes the most amazing sounds, but even with my foot buried into the carpet...it does not pull anywhere close to my Gransport. I never felt "scared"...I suppose it is the extra weight plus the auto box's smooth shifting that makes it all feel...

    Maserati Meet in Dubai in February

    I'd like to get a pulse check from the UAE-based owners on here if they would be up for this. I've been out of the country for some time now for work, business school, etc., so this would be a great opportunity to get to know some of you and share stories. I can even ask the head of...

    550 Rebuild and Running Report

    Hi Enzo, it's been a while! I'm almost done with my MBA (graduate in December) and hope to be back in the UK (should I find a job back in London). My car's been in the shop all summer (new clutch set, fixed leaky steering rack, and sorting out some suspension error light issues...new rear...

    550 Rebuild and Running Report

    Enzo, Out of curiosity, did you ever consider a different shade of blue? It's going to look stunning in TDF, but I have to say that Pozzi Blue makes me weak on the 550... Happy motoring! JP
