    Awesome thank you !

    James May is always my fav because he has a brain and use it !
    Of course everyone know and want a 512BB or a countach... but, the Bora, is a Maserati, it's the most aristocratic of the 3... and that's why I love it too !

    i understand what you mean and agree. i have owned a bora and now own a boxer. i love the boer but should have kept the bora too. i miss the refined ways of the bora and the ease of use when compared to the boxer.

    i think the bora was a car solidly placed between the 308 and 512...

    An attribute or descriptive phrase/word.

    Regal would be similar to what you used.

    Maserati Bora is a true Italian "bella machina". That is until you have the Citroen high pressure hydraulic system fail. Especially if some "mechanic" added brake fluid instead of hydraulic fluid. Then you can find other adjectives to describe the car. Nostalgia is for the blind.

    it is isn't it ...top gear don't do good video segments like this anymore, just hijinx stuff, and sillyness IMO
    james did a few, like the countach, the old AM vantage segment, etc ...i enjoy similar segments that each of the trio have done, but in the last few seasons haven't really? oh well

    "Dodici", if you own a Bora it should be worked on by someone who knows Masers. If a person is not knowledgeable about them it will cost more money to re-fix them. If someone made that mistake on your car they should be paying for the expensive complete overhall of your hydralics. If you did it yourself, you should have known better ant this is an expensive lesson
