I've come over all Italian

[Beasty]

Well. After 4 years devoted to English sports cars, I've come over all Italian and bought a 3200GT.

I had driven an automatic over a year ago, but didn't really like it. However, I drove a manual yesterday and couldn't believe the difference. Anyway, I should take delivery in a week or so. All very exciting!


Any good insurance recommendations?

[mustard]

Congratulations hope your going to be pleased with your purchase.... have a feeling its partly my fault!

Nice one Beasty.... If you go to the Masterati website you can get a great screen saver!

Promise me a run in it one day!

PS mail us with details of your morgan an how much they bid you, just sold the plus 8 we had in stock

Nice motor

Yours must be slightly different however as your profile pic looks..... err slightly different

[Beasty]

Yes mustard, I think you may have had something to do with it. The invoice is in the post .

As for the Morgan, its already gone , but thanks for the offer.

Pies, I'll update my profile in due course!

Nice to have another masser owner on the group

Well done, hope you like it as much as the rest of us.

I live in London and got a very good quote from the insurance company used by BMW - www.bmw.co.uk.

welcome to the club beasty
You won't be dissapointed!

okay pies, I've updated my profile.

Dropped the Morgan off this morning, very sad about that , but onwards and upwards I suppose.

Am just doing the insurance calls. Liverpool Victoria are the cheapest at the moment, but won't insure me until I am 30 (in 2 weeks)! Mrs B is delighted as it means she will get to drive it until then.

I'm hopeful I will be able to beat up Tesco on price though, in which case I'll be ok.

Adrian Flux didn't even come close.

I forgot how fing dim insurance call centre people are though. The following is the start of one of my calls today, not any of the above I hasten to add.

Me: I'd like a quote please.
Call centre person: Okay, what make?
Me: Maserati.
CCP: A what?
Me: A Maserati.
CCP: Is that the model or the make:
Me: The make.
CCP: So its not a Ford? (I kid you not).
Me: No.
CCP: Could you spell that.....(continue conversation until death or insanity)

[mr_tony]

your average numpty doesn't know much about Maserati... I had some bloke over Christmas asking me how I was finding it with the 'rear doors that open backwards'... Divot thought it was a MAzda

[Beasty]

Sounds about right. One of the things that attracted me to the car was their relative anonimity. There was a time that I wanted to attract attention. These days I want as little as possible.
