Shan - Wouldn't 3200GT be cheaper (for essentially identical appearance including froth-worthy boomerang lights) ?

If you have mates who can fix them, dooo eeeet.

3200GT engine is a bag of dicks. My mate has one. 3200GT engine is the VG30 of the Ferrari world. Also less 3200GT's were made (that was when ferrari bought maserati) so oddly they're rarer and more exxy than the 4200GT.

Yeah the guys who I deal with who import Ferrari's will start complying the 4200 in Dec. Been given the opportunity to bring one in as a compliance car (which means it could take up to 6 months to comply but meh).

also... 4200GT with tail light conversion:

[Mohsen]

Damn Arthur, really?

Shan- Fkn do it.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

you forgot to remove the chux cloth before serving

this is true... remove said cloth before serving

I would love to taste your bolognaise.. my favourite meal. Make some next SAU meet? cheers brah.

I think I'm the only one that has eaten your food here, back when I borrowed your steering wheel

not even close man.... everyone that's been to buller has... esp 2 years ago when in did like 6 or 7 courses....

easy to drive to the milk bar, question is will you ever park it at the milk bar/shops? i doubt it.. so whats the point

only reason you'd get a car like that is for investment, hoping it will keep appreciating in price

rather get me 2 or 3 more road friendly ferraris/porsches instead of 1 veyron that will most likely never see the road.

if you can afford a veyron... you can afford to repair it...

someone convince me this is a bad idea.

this is a bad idea (cos it looks like aids

that Maserati is hideous

this

a mazza is not a poor mans fezza... it's a ghey mans fezza

[UNR33L]

that Maserati is hideous

+1

also, with the light conversion it looks like 2 bent cawks jizzing on the mazza badge

why not import a early 2000-2005 lambo? cheap as in the uk.

how much would the service / parts be for the supercar engines? my guess is not cheap

[R-SPEC]

i like Maserati there are 1 or 2 that are porn-spec, just not that one.

seen a Quattroporte gts at autobarn, must be heard in real life to be appreciated. sounded insane

[funkymonkey]

a mazza is not a poor mans fezza... it's a ghey mans fezza

4200GT is the first of the proper maserati's. the ones before that weren't ferarri designed/built.

the model after the 4200GT in 2007 was infinitely more boner inducing, but it's also infinitely more expensive.

Either way if I play the cards right I should see about a 20k return on investment if I import it and sell without doin any mods. that's a lot more than my stocks are makin atm.

[ARTZ]

Damn Arthur, really?

Shan- Fkn do it.

well got mail notifications coupla days ago, but nothing here yet.....i want my little pink flag so i can feel special....lol..

[funkymonkey]

ain't nothing ghey about these bad boys:

[Birds]

• it's a waste of a piece of meat
  
• cooking a well done removes too much juice and makes the meat smaller
  
• idiots that order well done will then complain about the size
  
• idiots that order well done are also by far the biggest complainers about how long their styrofoam takes to cook
  
• you might as well go and eat some styrofoam, it's cheap and i don't have to insult my years of training
  
• it's hard to justify good money for bad food that takes zero skill to cook
  
• 99% of the time after serving a well done it means you will then have to go and get mustard 2 minutes after the steak goes out
  
• idiots that order well done are also likely to whinge that the steak is "cold"
  
• idiots that order well done will also usually whinge about whatever else the steak is served with
  
• idiots that order well done are 10x more likely to decide they are going to change the menu
  
• idiots that order a well done are more likely to complain about the price as they are only used to eating cheap shit
  
• a well done steak will hold up a whole table and normally leads to multiple complaints about how long the food is taking
  

it's not just the fact that you are a retard, it's the 11ty million other well done eating retards i've dealt with before you that does it

to summarise, if you eat well done steaks, i can not help you. i have nothing for you. no steak for you.

when i run a kitchen there is no well done. choose another dish or go somewhere else and complain there.

Exhibit A, the chef. No need for that mate. I don't do any of the above as you described. Fortunately for me, only 1 in 20 that I've come across will actually knock back my request. I've ordered enough of them to know the consequences of a well done steak, and I too think people are idiots if they complain when they ordered something to a specific taste. But it's an insult to my years of knowing what I like and don't like the taste of, when someone disagrees with how I should eat my food...that I'm paying for. I currently work in an industry that is very objective in terms of customer solutions; what our customers want can be wrong and it can be proven, because something will either work or it won't. Regardless, if they are paying, we are filling requests, even if there's an "I told you so" moment afterwards. Taste in food is 100% subjective though. You can refuse to take on the job, that's entirely your call if you don't want the money, but you can't tell someone they are wrong for liking it that way.

[xALmoN]

i like steak medium.

[alr33x]

i wont touch any meat if its pink/red/still mooing. completely disagree with your list of shit hamish ill do the complaing if its not cooked as i request, and kunce that wont cook it how i like will likely result in a table vacating if me/we are PAYING for the damn food should be cooked however the fek i want it.

most nice places i have been to have had no issue to do it, done it well and not held up the table or anything like it.

Sending it back would hold shit up no doubt which i'd happily do

well said birds!

[ARTZ]

medium rare FTW

but i do like beef jerky, specially the hot burn your mouth stuff that makes me thirsty for beer

But i have to agree, people that like their steaks well done generally have poor taste in food..But it is their decision to make..

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

really i should have highlighted the "it's not the actual customer, but the 11ty million before that have done most of those things" reasoning

even if you eat well done meat yourself, go work in a serious kitchen on the meat section for a while and i guarantee even you will hate well done orders

there is a reason many places don't allow it... as a whole it saves arguments.

also there is 1 thing i forgot to mention:

a well done steak looks like shit, and food that gets carried around the restaurant is an advertisement of sorts. so a lot of business dont want that kinda "advertising" this is another reason for the whole "no changes to menu" policy. (that in addition to lack of time to make changes and availability of preoduce etc etc)

[alr33x]

Well I don't think it looks bad when I say well done I just don't want pink/red I don't want charcoal remains either so dunno if that's any different

but customer Is always right restaurants should keep that in mind

[Birds]

Yeah I can understand your frustration at it Hamish, there are plenty of shithead customers out there, particularly in hospitality. However, when a waitress asks me how I'd like my steak cooked, that isn't changing the menu, and she better bring it back that way I asked. I reckon negative reviews of a restaurant for not fulfilling common and basic customer requests look much worse than a plate of food travelling from the kitchen to the table. That's what is really going to cost a restaurant business. I've had medium rare before, you've even cooked it for me, it was great, but I can't change my preference for leaving a piece of meat on the grill longer. Stone grill is a great compromise between it all

Arthur have you tried Geronimo Jerkey's "Blazin' Saddles"? Packed full of habanero spices and self proclaimed hottest jerkey in Australia...it's good stuff and good value when bought in bulk

[Count Grantleyish]

All this discussion about food makes me hungry.

[ARTZ]

I just boguht a kilo of rockling, any suggestion, was just gunna beer batter it..

Where can i get said jerky birds..
