Great to catch up last night. Guess it's 5 or 6 years since I last attended.

Good to meet you Malcom - look forward to the next meet. How long did it take you to get home - you had a fair journey I think.

After speaking to Mark and seeing car last night I'm quite tempted to get some 15mm spacers. Still small concern how it affects feel of car but I'm swinging towards this change..

Yes the Dino was no show winner but it got there under it's own steam and the engine bay looked tidy from what I saw, unfortunately I didn't get that photo'd. There was a lot of crazing in the paint and some big splits on the bonnet in particular which would point to an overspray restoration rather than a bare metal IMHO....

Mixed bag, the Ghibli
I do like the looks from the sode and front but the rear is audi for me

Boot is huuuuuuuuge, all the boot you ever need but the quality of the car is cheap.

Sat in it and then sat in a QP, the QP is 10 years older and feels better quality and classier....

Sound from the diesel? Good if your standing at the rear, you can hear 2 sounds if your in the middle, and diesel sound from the front

I saw the Ghilbi on the Maserati stand at the Classic Car Show. I was underwhelmed then. It turned up just as I was leaving. I didn't change my mind & kept on driving. In my opinion, it is utterly underwhelming.

I fully understand that Maserati had to play it safe with such a vitally important car. After all, their future is on the line. But, to my eyes, the car looked boring. The sort of thing that you'd lose in an ASDA car park.

If I had a choice - and I don't - I'd far rather have an M5. (I can't actually believe that I've written that.) :)

Good to meet you yesterday, Simon. I've had them on my car for a fair while now and have noticed absolutely no difference in any type of driving from around town to 150mph+ at Bruntingthorpe. I bought mine purely for aesthetics, but I suppose that makes me a precious London r'sole poseur in the eyes of The Sweeney! I can live with that!

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Some fabulously effective Polish guys down the road.

Hand wash £5!

Hoover & inside clean £5!

Can't be beaten.

Malcolm, I suspect they are the same people I used when I came to your restaurant...

My, those girls are fit :)

Yes good to meet you too Mark. Lovely motor you've got there, looks stunning! When the convoy was making it's way to the Ace I could see the lead cars ahead by your keeping an eye on your car, stands out well ;-)
