That does look cool, i saw a charger on the M11 the other day and that was great too.

TBH I'm all over the show with this hare brained scheme at the moment. Currently lusting after maserati Shamal's for some reason. Got to be a recipe for disaster but the force is strong in them.....

Jesus..............just dug out an old Evo magazine where they choosing a 25k supercar to run. One of the choices was a Maserati, but the much saner Quattroporte model and the running costs- even on that, were absolutely eye watering! Far worse than a Ferrari 348, Lister XJC or even a late spec 928 GTS!
Examples being
Headlamp

Cobblers

GTR's (as in the old stuff, not the new one) are way cheaper and that's even if you're talking about a much higher spec than either of us owned

I know you're going to quote the amount you paid for your clutch (blah, blah, blah) but the actual service costs are on a different planet.

Fuck it, if you want to go leftfield and you're considering a Shamal/Ghibli, why not go for an Alfa SZ and really push the boat out..............

Or better idea still, mug that idea right off and buy 17k's worth of durable American investment as linked to in my ad on eBay

Signing off (with far too much time on my hands)

Or an Alfa Montreal perhaps
I used to love the lancia montecarlo's
But above all of them a lancia delta integrale Evo
They are classics now and a rot free one (if there is such a thing)must hold there value

Maybe a bit over budget At 35K?
But this is perfect.
