Well, the GT at least, is to me, one of the most if not the most, beautiful cars ever made... Front, rear, side, three quarters; perfect proportions at every angle... So masculine and yet so feminine... Yup, I'd love me a GT...
Love the front end of the Maserati .. Don't like the rear
Yeah you told me and to you I'd say; at least you got that far :-)
Mohdata: Such is life. I took a racing druver's course and raced Formula Ford six times.. I soon realised that there were drivers who were better than me ..
At least I tried :0)
a test/demo/race driver for a top marque; that's the life i'd imagined for myself; god didn't like the plan though...
