My ride in a Maserati GranSport
 
Hi guys! I've just arrived from Barcelona. Today has been, without any doubt, the best car experience of my life. :D Pitily dani hasn't been able to be with me in this test drive... :?
I have had the opportunity to drive the Maserati GranSport for almost 3 hours and, believe me, this car is absolutely marvellous. :love:
Although it was the first time I drove such a powerful car, the Maserati gave me confidence all the time, even when I pushed the evil button..."Sport". I felt the reactions of the car all the time and it was pretty easy to predict what it was going to do. It is a really well balanced car.
This is the star of the day (sorry, the pics are blurry because of the light...I have no tripod... :? ):

Sorry boys, no more pics of the car...I have spent as much time as possible behind the wheel of this beauty... :D

It has been so easy that I can't believe it...I sent an e-mail to the Maserati dealership asking them for a ride in the GranSport. Two days later they phoned me asking when I would like to drive the car...that's all. :D

Sure... :lol: I have already asked to test drive the F430 or the 360...and they said NO... :P

You are damn lucky, not only did ya get it for 3 hours, you also got it for yourself, I'd expect somebody from the staff of the dealer to accompany you. Don't wortry about not having any more pictures, I'd do exactly the same thing, make the most of the car while it lasted.

takes note to email Ferrari and Maserati of Seattle soon

That's REALLY nice from the dealership to let you test drive the GranSport for three hours. You probably were pretty stunned to hear you could have it for so long on your own?

Must have been a great experience :D

Yes. The first test was 30 minutes with someone who showed me how to drive the car and the functions of each button. Then, I had the car on my own for 2 hours... :twisted:
