Shelley’s Maserati Granturismo (is this right?) was suggested by a reader when I asked what kind of fancy roller skate she should drive. But that was 15 years ago! A 2010 Granturismo will now set you back about £20000, meaning that with careful long-term budgeting or irresponsible acquisition of credit, we can all buy one (I am sure the insurance and servicing are very cheap). See you at the car house!*

* Is this what where you buy cars is called?
