    There is an oil/filter service due at 1000km. I elected to keep it for a week to run up the 1000km's rather than have the hassle of taking it back twice within a week or so.

    Unfortunately the weather this week is hideous.

    I had a thought that it might be a blown fuse causing the problem, so I looked up the owners manual. It showed a possibility of 2 fuses, so I decided to take a look as this is about the limit of my mechanical ability without stuffing something up. We all know that the modern Ferrari and Maserati cars are geared towards dealer only service; but this is nuts. The fuse box is hidden under the plastic covers that make the engine bay look tidy. Guess what? They are attached with screws that require a special tool to undo. The Maserati "tool" case that comes with the car consists of 2 spanners, a standard screwdriver and a tow hook! So something as simple as a blown fuse can disable your brand new car! Crazy situation.

    Mate, I WISH we had the 40's here at the moment. Since Xmas, all we have had is ****en rain! :(:(

    Lake Moondarra is 100% full now, so I hope the rain ****s off! Rained again last night and again today. I am sooooooooo sick of it mate, we all. We are just not used to overcast/muggy weather here. Bring on the dry heat anyday! :eek::eek:


    Sheesh, that would be ****house! :p:p

    Yeah, mine's only been back to HSV 5 TIMES in 2000k's. :(

    Sometimes even 423 HP can't make up for cruddy build quality.

    BTW, it's FOR SALE.

    Lol, it gets it's last chance at HSV next week, i've been threatening it Basil Fawlty style!

    I think I may have done too good a sell on Tassie to the family. My idea was to get them down after our fun and have a bit of a holiday. This has now turned into inviting another family to join us which will mean school holidays in June. So, while i will catch up for a beer or two, unless "our" trip coincides, I'm out of the race, so as to speak :).

    Let me know when your dates are set, will be great to catch up. Shame you may not make the lap of Tassie, will have new rubber on then and be able to take you on a really good run through Cethana this time.

    I don't mind the heat, its not too bad. I'd be worse if the humidity was high. Its only around 12%.

    Not looking forward to -10 in a couple of weeks. :eek:
