The space is compromised. I can get three soft bags, a laptop bag, and a vanity case with careful packing. We had a 16 day tour down through Spain, over to Sardinia, and back through France last September without any issues. You just need to pack sensibly. I've not had any issues with the roof...

I bought my '09 Cali about 4 years ago to replace the Levante. It was a post COVID purchase and I've enjoyed driving it immensely. I do drive it though, currently at 56k miles after buying it at 19k. It has had one or two issues, but nothing that's put me off keeping it. As has been said...

I'd pass on this as it's a series 1 car. The series 2 featured much improved brakes which would address the issue @Andyk mentioned.

This is the last video from our road trip, and honeymoon, to Sardinia. It's the better surfaced part of the coast road up from Bosa to Alghero and is after the road works clip from above. I'm not sure when the next videos will be done as it's getting towards the time when the weather gets in the...

A forum member’s new toy spotted at The Motorist earlier. Difficult to get a pic without people in it as it got the most attention of all the cars present.

Another video from Sardinia. This one heading down into Bosa on the west coast. The road towards the end wasn't that good and kept me on my toes avoiding the larger potholes.

I didn't mind it either, it works as a brand advert. This is the life you could have if you buy a Maserati. Its nice to see Maserati on a short film as anything other than the car for the bad guy to be driving.

I was at the last filming in the tent, the last of the old format before going just to specials. That was emotional as well, Clarkson welled up at the end. Enjoyed this last special which was a deliberate rehash of previous ideas but with cars they actually wanted to keep, Clarkson has the...

There are another couple of Saturdays coming up at the Motorist that might be of interest: 5th October Supercar Saturday - 9am to 4pm 2nd November Italian Car Day - 9am to 4pm I'm planning on going to both for about 9:30-10:00.

Here is the next instalment of the trip to Sardinia. This was heading into the interior, away from the coast road, and has some fun roads.

The coast road up from Bosa to Alghero on Sardinia was a little ... variable. One bridge had warnings ahead of it and seemed that the road surface had melted between the cross members of the bridge giving a surface that resembled continual sleeping policemen. Not video of this as I hadn't put...

A couple of pics from the trip to Sardinia. Was intending to go to Corsica as well but the weather, and ferries, conspired against us.

Like buses these videos are going to come in a group. Here is one driving away from the Parador de Vic-Sau. I would have recorded going to the hotel rather than leaving but the day travelling to it had some of the worst weather of the trip and you wouldn't have seen much. Shame really, but that...

The summer has been pretty poor for taking video. Most of the run outs I've done have had poor weather of one sort or another. Those that were ok I had issues with the sound until I found that the camera recording it was rattling in its case. A small piece of plastic later and the rattle has...

Is there any more interest in this? If there is do people want to meet at Scotch Corner and drive in, or just meet up when we get there?
