from Alfista to Maseratista

[Iwan]

BTW: this trip...zurich - nice - zurich was my first trip with my maser although
everyone told me not to do, since reliability isn't that good especially for a
2nd hand car..... - fuck'em, nothing happened within those 1,200 km (750 miles)
except the fuel consumption - holy shit......

even had a quick race vs an audi RS2 (0 to...roughly 150 mph (in milan) ....

(no big deal btw., it started after a toll barrier....didn't notice the two
guys in there red RS2 stationwagon..just heard some trubo's trying to
get fresh air....looked over to them....squinted over...pressed my gas
pedal down...waited a couple milliseconds until my two IHI turbocharger
catched some fresh air...and...damit when they kicked in it just rocketed
me.. that f... fast I even couldn't believe it...took me some time to catch up..but at a speed of roughly 100 mph's I overtook'em and......was a hell of fun....), luckily I got an automated transmission - I bet I couldn't handle
the rpm's by hand for the first time.........

anyway... the 3200 just brought me back safe and w/o any
circumstances.

ok, leaving now... sleep well guys!

cheers

@dani_d_mas..... belive me, it doesn't matter if it is an actual F1 or 'just' a
2000 F1 car.......maybe 2 seconds less per round...but anyway..hey... it just ...it just...

'scares the shit out of you'


bye bye.

nice race, it matters that you won at the end
would be nice to hear abaout formulas

Congrats, Iwan! I always preferred the design of the 3200. The boomerang lights are so much better!

About the F1 racing school, I saw it on tv a couple of times. I can't imagine how brutal that is, driving a F1 car... :shock:

Looks like you're enjoying life to the max. And yes, I include your drunkenness in that.

[Shinigami]

Very nice ride you got there man! Do come and give TT and me a visit sometime

[Iwan]

well my fellow petrolheads, has been a while.....OK, still reading and
enjoying JW every day but do not have had time to bring some real
value add here but at least I do have some update on my current rides.

basically sold my Espace and upgraded from Maserati 3200 to 4200
knowing the rules....first of all.....well, latest custom shots....

Maserati Coupe GT Custom Shot


Alfa Romeo 156 SW GTA SLSPD Custom Shoot



main reason going from 3200 to 4200 is just because i had an
amazing offering for my 3200 since it seems to becoming a pretty
rare model, on top I never really felt safe in that car this because of the
kick ass turbo's, as soon they start to thrill you just can manage that
least anymore, .....especially in winter a hell of a dangerous car. the
4200 is just a different car, sorry to say but everything is just 'better' and
I love the CambioCorsa transmission and the sound of the engine.



the 156 SW GTA is our 'familycar' basically my wife's day to day
ride, it's a hell of a fast car too and the Selespeed transmission is
fun toy though......

hello from sunny Switzerland,
Iwan

[dutchmasterflex]

Now that's a family car..

definitely Grade-A MILF status driving that..

[TT]

Another great car in your stable dude! Congrats and thanks for custom shots :good:

Actually I am even more interested in shooting it now I already have a 3200 GT in my indepths and a Gransport so the 4200 would fit very well inbetween
Rememeber, whenever you want and BTW, I wouldn't mind the GTA too LOL

BTW, in the near future I will probably come to AG to shoot a Diablo

[Pehtren]

Your garage is just :shock: , it looks like you are crazy on italian car

The 4200 is to , and the familly wagon rules

Enjoy the cars

[Zot09]

Congratulations! This is a great ride.

[taygunho]

Congratulations with your new 4200. IMO 4200 is looks better than 3200. GTA is very good car as a family car!

[TransAm]

Nice car you have there, Iwan, you should be very proud!
:good:

[ARMAN]

That GTA looks excelent with those wheels Great cars Iwan :good:

[Pehtren]

I want some vids, with the sound of the Coupe.

[Iwan]

Guys, need your help. bought a set of ball polished GranSport wheels as a bargain.
thinking about putting winter tyres on the 'standard' wheels and have summer tyres on the GS rims.



well not sure about the color combo (silver car, 'blingbling' style GS wheels)
so I'm wondering how it would look if I put these 'as is' or wheter I should
paint them grey/darkgrey.....

if some of you photoshop enthusiast could do me a favor and shop'em that
would just be more than nice, in any case comments would be more than
appreciated......

quality of the set of wheels may not be good enough, but i'm sure if you do
a google search you'll find ton's of pics....



tx again,
cheerio from Switzerland,
Iwan
