  1. You're kidding me? Jeez, another car manufacturer who has no idea how to sell a car to the public! Even Ferrari were happy to let me climb all over the 458 Spider on the launch night, never mind Maserati actively encouraging me to poke around and push buttons and levers and things.
  2. I do for the bonnet or the roof (car dependant), but then I just dry as per a normal towel.
  3. Possibly, but then you'd have resistance before turning the nut which would kill any torque calculations on your wrench I think. It'd always be springing back against itself to an extent, so your nuts would never end up tight enough so to speak.
  4. I wouldn't even bother trying tbh. Careful use of the socket (and using a decent one too) will prevent as much damage as possible, but you should see them as disposable. If you put lacquer over them, there's a chance that the socket will not fit properly and you'll cause more damage trying to whack it on. Another reason to not worry about posh nuts
  5. The sponge is an applicator for the polish, pretty sure it says so on the card. I did also get the big card as well, that explains about the wax.
  6. You didn't sit in it??!! Rubbish!
  7. Someone please tell me what sweet from the 80's that shampoo smells like, it's driving me crazy! It's almost too good to wash a car with, I think I'd rather drink it
  8. Great little car for the money then, hope it sells soon.
  9. Precats removed? And why only the one Kirk's mount?
  10. What were the seats like to sit in? How about the driving position? Can you even see the end of the nose?
  11. I was going to make a crude joke about burning off 124 calories with just one finger, but thought better of it.
  12. They're a good start, but the proper fluffy towels are definitely better. They last longer, too.
  13. I like watching Welsh soap operas. It makes me laugh when they drop the odd English word in because there isn't a Welsh equivalent. I know, it's childish, but funny!
  14. Nooooo never use a blade! Sure fire way to scratch your car. I used to use one, then saw the error of my ways when I caught a small stone I'd missed and put a lovely great scratch down the boot.
  15. Use proper MF drying towels, far far superior in every way.
  16. It's either that, or they put the price up and people moan about that. To be honest though, I'd actually prefer that. When I buy something as a treat, I don't mind paying for it as long as I feel I'm getting the full article. Hence I'm still upset at McDonald's for discontinuing their Super Mega Jumbo size meals.
  17. I say again, who cares? One is a jazzed up Mazda 3 with a lot of go from a dull engine and scrabble-city traction, and the other is a full blooded, chest-wig-wearing sports car with a horrible interior. I know which I'd rather be driving.
  18. Going quicker = more energy to dissipate when you come to the splat = more people/vehicles/buildings you can take out and they need to pay for Also, more bits means your car is more likely to be targetted for stealing.
