    The Dog Thread

    This is Buddy & Max. Buddy is 6, typical Golden Retriever, totally chilled out. Max is 4 and totally not typical of the breed. Think he was dropped on his head as a pup. A lot.

    GHIBLI (and QP6) MAP UPDATES

    Maserati Insurance

    My insurance is due for renewal in about 5 weeks, but last month with everyone talking about how it was going up, I quickly looked at my stored details on Confused.com and saw that it was coming in just slightly less than last year. Just looked again today, without changing any details and it...

    Ghibli Diesel due a service

    So do you think it is likely that garage could do it on their OBD thingymajig, they were just doing it wrong?

    Ghibli Diesel due a service

    Thanks. Is it odd that a cheap one off Amazon will do it but a much more expensive one in the garage (that seemingly works on all his other customer's cars) doesn't? Is there something different about Maserati? He had all the other Stellantis brands on there and would have thought they all...

    Orange cars

    I always had a soft spot for an RS2000 in signal Orange. Quite like that burnt orange you see on a few BMW's as well.

    Ghibli Diesel due a service

    I ended up taking the practical option and using my local regular garage to service the Ghibli. Got him to do everything with belt and fuel filter etc. as it wasn't clear in the history that it had all been done. Only downside is he couldn't get the service due alert to reset. Does he need a...

    Maserati Insurance

    I find the comparison sites frustrating as want to explain things in more detail. I am 50, haven't caused any damage to a car for about 25 years (only I time I stupidly did) but did massive amounts of mileage in a company car for years, then bought a little Mini to build up some no-claims and...

    Maseratis - Spotted

    An exciting day on the roads of Cumbria & SW Scotland as I saw two Maserati's. A Silver/Grey Ghibli KRM * on the A75 towards Dumfries and a blue Levante/Grecale just West of Carlisle. Don't think I've ever seen two in a day before. One must admit, to feeling ever so slightly common, for just a...

    Alfa Milano

    It's sometimes hard to judge the size of these chunky modern SUV's in comparison to older cars. I like to use carsized.com to play with what in your head are similar sized cars and see the actual difference! The 'Mini' being the simplest and most obvious example.

    dash-cam: worth it?

    I am always sceptical about not needing insurance companies involved now since being involved in a court case (not directly) where a van clipped the rear off-side bumper of a parked car. The rear light was broken and a small amount of damage to the rear bumper. If that had been my car and the...

    Funny or clever number plates

    My first "dealings" with an Italian car was my Dad's Fiat 132 (Auto with plush velour interior!). He bought and I presume sold it with a private plate on it: 3181 BB. We knew it as Big Bertha. I got passed by a Bentley Continental on the M6 near Preston wearing it about 10 years ago. Thought...
