Docīs got a new daily driver !

With my new mansion and all, I realized I need to travel with style too.

Maserati Quatroporte automatic. Engine from Ferrari 430 slightly tuned down but still a very vivid ride. V8 revving at 8k is really a sound to covet. More of a GT car and very comfortable at double legal limits.

Pic in next post as it does not work in a new thread-post.

Excellent choice. I suspect your 911 will not see much use for a while.

Sweet, sucker for Italians, nicest damn leather you ever saw inside one of those masers, like someone turned a Coach bag inside out.

Right.

I believe Kurt was almost on to me. Seriously, if I had that kind of money I would by a GT3! The car is a friendīs.


It sure looked spectacular in my front yard - but I am a Porsche nut and although it would make a splendid commute to work it did not give me half the pleasure to drive compared to my old 3.2.

So there you have it. I feel slightly bad for letting you on, but I can proudly admit that our little vintage cars are more about the core pleasure of driving than this brand new Italian can ever aspire to be.
