Gotta love this time of year with floods and closed roads. Had fun driving over the tops to work this morning seeing as the bypass and motorway were both shut.

Hah, I don't wash it. It's a dog carrying road warrior, I gave up keeping it nice years ago and yeah, can't be bothered removing the tax disc. Had it 4.5 years now and it's done 137k.
Looked at those CX-5s for my mum, seem to be a well received car but she opted for a CRV SR in the end.

Took the beast out for a run

Ooh, like a bit of Laguna blue. Needs a polyurethane GV lip and some Meister-Rs.
Love the wheels, 15x8s with 215 tyres on? Along with coilovers and a fast-road setup the handling was just smile-inducing every day. Mine had a TorSen though, does yours?
Miss mine sooooo much.

lip is coming! I think they look very "empty" without it
it has flyin miata vmaxx fully adjustable suspension already, including roll bars, chassis bracing, torsen lsd etc - it's an S-special so comes with a few nice bits.
15x8 et20, 195's as arches are not rolled so wanted to have more space to play with.
it's a lot of fun, I am genuinely enjoying it

Needs lowering a bit more lad.

all I can say is seized coilovers suck.

Bathe the buggers in it!

Got a little bored of the C63 and wanted something a bit more ‘special’ again. Lo and behold the Maserati Granturismo it has 55k on the clock. It is epic, sounds epic just is epic. Yea it’s not as quick / savage as the C63 but it’s glorious in every other single way and sounds INSANE compared.

That looks stunning! Congrats
Congrats looks awesome!! Year / spec ?
It’s on my list of possible future purchases because it has 4 seats but wife wants an extension / new kitchen. Hmmm.
Would love to hear the sound, can never get bored of listening to it

Yeah did just that on Thursday night and lowered it on Friday but one rear coil is hitting the drive shaft and it's not even close to silly low. Grrrr.. seems like a lot of guys experience that and their solution is to let the drive shaft grind down the collar. Haha, no thanks.Ambersil penetrating oil. Great stuff.

It’s a 2008. First drive to work in it this morning I think my neighbours now hate me after 8am cold start.
Has a Larini exhaust and I can only describe the sound as pure sex
I know the feeling. My neighbour has an R8 V10 plus and an SLS AMG GT. The R8 is so ridiculously loud i cant really describe it. It normally wakes my 2 year old son in the mornings. But i dont really mind it

If anything is said I’ll say it makes up for your dog barking like mad at 11pm most nights

Cannot believe how cheap those are now!
Soldato
Because they have the ability to ruin you but so did C63 and R8 I had before so oranges to oranges
Always have backup funds and good to go
The granturismo is probably one of the most reliable mas so far
