1st of my random publications: this thing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a Ford Probe, this one in specific is the Probe GT from the 93'. Its a front wheel drive sportscar that was created to become the Mustang's sustitute, but failed. It really has 2 generations, the one in the pictures is the second generation.
It could have an inline 2.0l 16 valve natural aspirated 4 cilinder engine, the same 2l engine but turbo, and a 2.5l 24 valve six cilinder in V engine (called KL, and its the one that has the one on the pictures). The best engine, the V6, has nearly 170hp, that is brought to the front wheels through a 5 speed manual gearbox or a 4 speed automatic gearbox. The total weight of the car is around 1400kg Its top speed was of 210kmh (200kmh with the lights up), and has a 0-100 of 8.5 seconds. It has 16 inches wheels with disc brakes on all the wheels. It shares many parts with the Mazda MX6, like the engine and the chasis, and even with the RX7 FC3S (the pop up headlights)!
I know so much about this car because, apart that I like cars, this one was from my father until some months ago. I can say I drove this car, I even did e-brake turns with it. Its a car I'll have on my memory forever.

By the way here's a picture of the first generation Ford Probe.

6 and 33
6: do you keep plants?
Yeah. I had orchids, cacti, venus flytraps...And more who I do not know how to call in english...Now a bit less than before actually, but I still have my orchid since...Six years? It never bloomed ever again, after the first time we got it, but it tried....A pale attempt of buds who actually withered even before to bloom, but hey...It is something, I guess...Maybe next time it will bloom...It does lots and lots of roots and new leaves though. Better than nothing, I guess..
33: what’s your fave pastry? 
Hmm...Probably bignè, the chocolate ones in the specific, those called...”Africans“ I guess? little cilinders covered of chocolate glaze and with spongecake-like inside? And almond-dough ones. Also cannoncini.
I like sweets.

Sad Bops I Guess ————  ACCEPTING
@miocortieni said: 🎵 oh hell yeah 
This Year - The Mountain Goats
My broken house behind me And good things ahead A girl named Cathy Wants a little of my time Six cilinders underneath the hood Crashing and kicking Aha! Listen to the engine wine I am going to make it through this year If it kills me
Maybe not so much the lyrics literally, but Erin absolutely sympathizes with the feeling of wanting to run away for a full day just to escape her situation. She's ran away thousands of times throughout her life. To escape the Empire, to escape her shitty situation. The feeling of freedom she gets just from being away from the government that's trying to control her always made her feel so at ease. She loved it. Got addicted to it. But of course she can never stay away for too long. She has to come back at some point and face the inevitable, much like how the singer has to come back home and face the hell waiting for him at home.
The mantra of "I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me" seems to be her motto in general at that. She's been through so much shit. The famine, countless failed revolutions, being mistreated even within her own country. It's a lot for a woman to go through for centuries. But she never lost hope that she'd make it through. She kept pushing forward, even if it would kill her in the end.

Decidedly bold of you to mistype that instead of the more accurate “ALL the gfs Zenbu” like you truly don’t believe that the other six are merely the bullets in her love cilinder.

for get to know me uncomfortably well ask game 5, 16, 30, 38, 43, 50, 63, 100 oh my that's a lot 😅
Heya! Thank you so much for the ask~ And it’s no problem you asked multiple. The more to answer, the more fun, right? ^^
Alright! Here I go:
5. What is your favorite color?
I actually do not have a single favourite colour. I like several shades of blue, certain types of green, and lately I have started to take a liking to yellow as well. And though not officially a colour, I am very fond of black - and I think I always have been.
16. Favorite movie?
That has to be Hunt For The Wilderpeople! It came out in 2016 and is directed by Taika Waititi, and I think ever since I found out about the movie I’ve watched it six times. And each time I loved it as much as the previous time. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend doing so! It’s comedy mixed with adventure, and it has the underlying theme of family, and just askdhasjd i love it so much :((
30. How many pillows do you sleep with?
I use three pillows to sleep, but I have six on my bed (it used to be eight). I have one regular pillow to put my head on, then I use another smaller pillow to hug to my chest, and the third is a guleng so my legs don’t stick together. (A guleng is a long, cilinder shaped pillow.)
38. What’s the longest you’ve ever gone without sleep?
I don’t know actually? I think… I think about 24 hours at a sleepover but I never really keep track of how long I’ve been awake. Only of how much sleep I have (or haven’t) had.
43. Can you do any other accents other than your own?
Yes. I will not say I can do other accents well, but I can do some.
50. Left or right handed?
I’m right handed!
63. Biggest Fear?
Ending up lonely, I think. I may or may not have slight abandonment issues, because past reasons, but yeah. The unknown also scares me. Change. The dark. Ghosts. Coming out to my family. I’m a frightened person.
100. Color of your room?
It has several colours, actually! The ceiling is white, the walls are grey, the wooden beams are blue/turquoise, and my furniture is either black, white, turquoise or red. The colours of my room are based off of the colours of my duvet covers, so it all matches.
I hope you liked my answers (and my oversharing)! And if you have any other questions for me please do not hesitate to ask them~
I wish you a good morning/afternoon/evening/night and thanks again for the ask ^^

Donald Ressler X OC Maggie Waters.
Chapter: Six.
Chapter Index
Story on Wattpad
Maggie.
Our little road trip had to be postponed sadly, Gina and I were heads up with work, and the weather forecast wasn’t ideal. It all gave me more time to work on Mr Reddington’s basement plans.
I had been having meetings with him almost everyday, since the project was going to be taking place next week.
“I’ve got you an exact model of the basement door with soundproof included, you can probably kill someone in here and no one would know.”
“That sounds perfect Maggie” he said looking down at the print of how the basement would look finished. Though it was supposed to look the exact way it looked now.
“Though the only thing you should be killing is your friend’s addiction, Raymond. That would be infinitely cheaper” he laughed at the joke while I rolled the prints to put them away in a plastic cilinder to prevent them from breaking.
“Well, I guess we’re done. Gina will work with you from this point on to make the changes”
“Oh Maggie I’m afraid this is just the beginning” he said.
My phone vibrated on the desk behind us. I gave Raymond an apologetic look and walked to it
“I have to take this” I said after seeing Don’s number on my screen “it’ll be two seconds” I said picking walking to the door
“Take your time Maggie” Raymond replied as he sat down at one of the chairs in my office.
“Donald” I said picking up
“Maggie, where are you?”
“At work, with a client”
“It’s Friday” I sighed and exited the office, closing the door behind me
“I know it’s Friday, but this client could only meet today at this hour, I’m in a tight schedule Don”
“I see. I was just… Worried. I’ll talk to you later then, maybe we can pick up some lunch”
I smiled and looked down at my feet
“OK sure. Gotta go, bye” I said and quickly hung up.
Opening the door of the office again I looked at Raymond
“So, in what way are we not done?”
“That was only the first project. The second one is far more complex but I don’t think it will oppose a challenge for you Maggie”
“OK” I walked to the other side of the desk, sitting in front of Raymond and pulling out a pad to write “I’m listening.”
“I need a cabin looking safe house, it has to be bullet proof, security system for a 10 mile radius. Independent generator”
“How many bedrooms?”
“4, it’s for me and a couple of associates”
“Two story?”
“Not ideally but if we don’t have a choice”
“There’s always a choice Raymond” I said writing down the last details “I can have a partial layout and specifications for tomorrow. Do we have a deadline on this?”
“Less than 3 months. And by the way, shouldn’t we consider the climate variable?”
“Should we?” I asked
“We should” he gave me a nod
“Then we will” I said with a smile as I finished with my notes. “Extreme cold I take it?”
He gave me a smile to let me know I was right. After that I stood up and walked to him
“I’ll have you everything for tomorrow, I’ll tell Gina to contact you to start on Monday”
He stood up and embraced me, kissing my cheek
“It’s always a pleasure to see you Maggie”
“Likewise Raymond” I walked him out the building, since nobody was here yet
There wasn’t a point on me leaving, since the usual shift started in one hour.
I picked my phone and dialed Don.
“Hey, you still in the street?” I said walking back to my office
“Are you done with your client?”
“Yeah and I could use something to drink right now”
“I’ll bring you a coffee”
“Thanks Don, you’re a sweetheart” I hung up and waited near the door for Don.
He arrived 10 minutes later, I let him in and guided him to my office
“So, the road trip got canceled” he said, I took a sip of my coffee
“Mmmm, is this pumpkin spice?”
“Yeah, Dana was out of cinnamon”
“Delicious. Yes, the weather forecast said it was going to pour rain, and we were thinking on hiking, and with all the mud it was going to be difficult. So I had time to work on this next thing”
“What are you working on now?” He walked towards a sketching table I had on the far corner.
“It’s a soundproof basement, and the next thing is a reinforced cabin”
Ressler.
I don’t remember the last time the smallest trace of panic had invaded me. I was looking at a raw drawing of some print, and on the up right corner it was written Raymond R.
I think it’s too much a coincidence that Maggie helped me with Reddington’s safe and now one of her clients was named that.
I looked at Maggie, who was sitting at her office desk going through some notes.
“And what does this guy do? Why does he need a soundproof basement”
“It’s for his friend, he has a gambling addiction and his wife will divorce him if she hears him place another bet. He’s a bad gambler” she rolled her eyes “and Raymond, I don’t know what he does exactly, he just said business.”
“Mmm” I nodded and sat down in front of her “how long have you been working for him?”
“About a week” she maintained her gaze to mine and took another sip of her drink.
“Do you have an address?”
“Ah, I’m afraid that’s classified information agent Ressler” she gave me a smirk “you’ll have to get my boss a warrant”
I smiled and stood up
“I have to go back. Be careful Mags, there’s been criminal activity in the area, wouldn’t want anything to happen to you” I buttoned up my suit jacket and she gave me another smile.
“Of course” she stood up and walked with me outside.
“A week you said?” I asked when I was already on the street
“A week” she gave me a nod and a wave before closing the door.
Instantly I pulled out my phone and began walking to my car, I dialed Director Cooper and waited for him to pick up.
“Cooper” he said, I opened my car and started it while closing the door, my phone being pressed to my ear with my shoulder.
“This is Ressler. Sir I need a warrant to check CCTV cameras from two locations, I think Reddington is onto something, I’ll explain when I get there”
By the time I arrived at the post office, Reddington had given Keen another name. Still, I headed up to talk to Cooper.
“Sir” I said after knocking on the door. He allowed me in, I remained standing while he took a paper from a stack.
“This is the warrant, now what is going on?”
“I need CCTV cameras from all 7 days of last week. I have a friend who’s a catastrophe architect, everything about her is in file RR 30256. I can retrieve it for you to check out. ”
“Is your friend in danger?”
“She’s working for Reddington and doesn’t know, so yes. After you read the file you’ll realize she’s in a lot of danger.”
“I’ll check the file and ask Aram for the footage you need. In the meantime, Reddington has another case, solve it”
Resolving “The Freelancer” case took us the whole weekend. In between of some arguments with Keen and my reasons to distrust Reddington, we pulled it through.
It was Monday morning when I could finally go back to Maggie’s case. Aram had brought the footage to me, which I instantly took to AD Cooper.
He wanted me to brief the team about Maggie and decide if we would have to bring her in for questioning.
I was halfway explaining Maggie’s file when Keen interrupted
“How do you know her again?”
“She paid forward my coffee and I paid back on a Friday. She sit in this particular table in the Sweet Tooth café every Friday from 8 to 10:30. The footage shows Reddington on the far corner here” I pointed a few tabled ahead “so he’s been looking at her for a month”
“Why is he interested in her?”
“She helped with a covert op, she opened a vault we found hidden in one of Reddington’s safe houses. Inside was the body of Marcus Preston. We’re still trying to link him to Reddington. I take it he knows it was her and he’s trying to get info on who she is and what she does. That’s why 10 days ago he presented himself in her workplace” I pulled out another picture that showed Reddington entering Maggie’s workplace “he was there for an hour, he’s gone to her work two more times that week, and then spent 3 hours and 20 minutes with her in the café on Friday that week.”
“So Reddington is using her to make her build something and then what, he’ll tell her he know it’s her who opened his vault and he’s going to kill her?”
“That’s what I’m afraid of. But it seems like he wants her knowledge. Maggie is an expert in her field. She’s worked with banks, politics, she might have even worked with criminals like Red and been oblivious to it”
“What’s she working on now?”
“Classified” I smirked “if I’ve taught her something is to use well that word”
“Bring her in” Cooper said “I want to know what she knows, I’ll get that warrant for the info the firm has on Reddington”
I moved to walk to the elevator, but Cooper stopped me with a gesture of his hand
“Keen and Malik will take this, Keen will conduct the interrogatorie but you’re more than welcome to watch” he motioned at me to the interrogation room. It had a standard one way glass in which Aram and I sat. He didn’t need to be here, but I guess he was just curious to know Maggie. Copper joined us when he greeted Maggie, leaving all the files we needed to interrogate her about what she knew.
I saw keen open the door and let Maggie in, who had a smirk she couldn’t conceal.
“Take a seat, I’ll be right back”
Maggie gave the room a look. The door of the back room opened and Keen gave me an amused smile, she retrieved the files and walked back to the interrogation room. Maggie only sat down when Keen left the files on the table.
“So, Margaret”
“Maggie” she quickly corrected
“I have your file here” she said opening it. “It says you moved to Washington 7 months ago, single, parents deceased, sister living in Rhode Island. You work for Bronton Security, architect graduate from MIT. Is that all correct?”
“Is this an interrogation agent Keen?” She folded her hands on the table
“I’m afraid it is”
“Yes, that’s all true” she gave her a nod, her expression changed to seriousness.
“How do you know agent Ressler?”
She frowned
“From a coffee shop downtown, I paid him a coffee and then he paid me one back. We talked and became friend, I didn’t know his as "Agent Ressler”, it was just Donald"
“Until he picked you up for a job” Keen pulled out the file with the covert op and extended Maggie a picture of the safe house. “He took you to this safe house of one case he was following. And what did you do there?”
“I gave Don my word I wouldn’t speak about this, so unless he tells me otherwise I can’t talk. You know how this is agent” she smiled “classified information I can’t really talk about it”
Keen stood up and walked around the table
“I’ll go ask agent Ressler for his clearance then”
Maggie smiled and I saw Keen give her a funny look, she probably couldn’t believe this woman knew how to deflect giving information so smoothly. She had willing left the files on the table, a little test of curiousity. But Maggie just put the photo back and closed the file.
She sighed and looked away while Keen entered the back room
“Am I cleared agent Ressler?” She asked with a funny tone
“I told you she was good”
She smiled and left the room again, entering the interrogation.
“It seems I am cleared. Agent Ressler told me you can confide the information with me, we’re on the same side here Maggie.”
Maggie looked at Keen and smiled
“It was an Epston, model IU-645. IU stands for Impenetrable Unit. It’s an mixture between steel and titanium. Breaking through it with a power drill, explosives or even thermite or metal corrosive could take up days. 72 hours at most. Impenetrable yes. But, the inner mechanism has an easy way to go around it. It had a padlock, a lever to unlock the inner bolts. It’s a very uninteresting process. But I just needed to know the components and was able to active the mechanism from inside, making a cut in the door.”
“What was behind it?”
“Agent Ressler said he needed to know who the guy was and what was he doing there, so I take it it was a body”
“You didn’t see anything else?”
“I had a full blown anxiety attack, so no”
I leaned and talked to the mic that sent audio to Keen’s earpiece.
“Tell her about Reddington, just drop the bomb on her”
Keen took out another folder and opened it
“Raymond Reddington”
We didn’t need another confirmation that it was indeed Reddington who was working with Maggie, her shoulders squared up at the name and her eyebrow furrowed.
“Heard of him?”
“Yeah” she nodded and I could see her nervously swallow “I work with him, well my firm does”
“Raymond Reddington is a fugitive of the law. He’s been the source of uncountable information leaving US soil and sold to the highest bidder. He’s a criminal, Maggie”
“That can’t be. Our firm double crosses information with the DC police department. He didn’t sh-” she stopped herself and crossed her arms “he’s got money right? Like a lot, of money. That must be it then.”
“I’m not following”
“The only thing my boss loves more than his own family are zeros in his bank account. He’s been in some trouble for that already”
“What kind of trouble?”
“I don’t know. I’m too busy trying to wrap my head around my being an accessory to a fugitive wanted by every and all law enforcement agencies.”
“Let me make something clear. There’s no way yout could’ve known this.”
Maggie was looking away, denying with her head, angry frown. Angry at herself.
“He’s the owner of the vault isn’t it? And he’s doing this whole thing to get close to me, to make this vendetta more meaningful, to have me trust him things like I have and then just completely sweep me over my feet.” She sighed “does Donald know about this? Because if he knows that I’ve been working with a person he’s been trying to catch for years he’ll kill me, or worse he’ll look at me like I’m…” She let out another sigh and looked down.
“Agent Ressler is trying to protect you. He knows that none of this is your fault.”
Maggie continued looking down, an angry frown on her face that turned into a frown of sadness.
“He’s going to call. At 12:30, I said I would be taking his call and it’ll be oddly suspicious if I didn’t. I can get you information, anything you need to know”
“I’ll talk to my superior, and see if it would be convenient for you to take the call, we still have one hour”
Maggie nodded, and Keen left the interrogation room. I felt bad for Maggie, I wanted to get in there and hold her, tell her that by any means I felt betrayed by her.
Keen entered the back room and looked at Cooper.
“What do we do about the call, is it convenient for her to take it? And what will happen when Reddington finds out she spoke to us, divulge the work she’s doing for him?”
My eyes remained on Maggie while the conversation flowed behind me. She looked defeated, the rug had been pulled under her feet.
“He’s not going to kill her.” I said “whether we like it or not, she’s now his associate. They have a connection, a bond. Otherwise he wouldn’t have spent 3 hours talking to her. Even if those interactions weren’t true, Red now feels compelled to her. Maggie has that thing, she gets under your skin”
“So you’re saying that we have to let her continue working with Reddington?”
“We should, find out the purpose of this new shelter, the basement, any other secret locations. She can be our inside woman”
“We’re putting her at risk by doing so” Cooper spoke up “if she wants to help by all means, but it has to be her decision to be our informant”
“OK” I nodded “let’s make her answer that phone call”.

Quintron, Erotomania: Quintron At The Chamberlin (Mind Meld, 2019)
Spending the Spring locked up together, me and the lady I share the apartment with learned a few things. I learned to make Bloody Marys. She learned to play the saxophone. And we learned that when you share an apartment and one of you has a sizeable record collection, you both have to learn patience. Sometimes I’ll feel the need to listen to annoying, depressing shit music. Sometimes she’ll feel the need to tell me that. But once you nail the Tabasco/ground pepper ratio in the Bloody Mary and you put Erotomania on the turntable, you’re in for a surreal and psychedelic date night.
Personally, I knew Quintron mainly from his 9 songs with the Oblivians, where his organ added classic 60s flavor to their ramshackle bluesy garage punk. But that was the Nineties. During this time, he cemented his position as a kind of weird godfather for the Southern USA rock’n’roll scene, showing up on bills solo or with Miss Pussycat, playing everything from warped home-made techno beats to noisy punk rock to… well, whatever this is.
The record is both confusing and entertaining, no doubt. All the percussions are made with Quintron’s own invention, the Drum Buddy, a light-activated drum machine with a rotating cilinder, basically a mix of old mechanical organ and analog drum machine. The rest was made with a mellotron, a Hammond organ, a marimba and a Chamberlin (which, I found out, is a precursor to the mellotron). What this means, is that Quintron here has a whole “mechanical orchestra” playing for him.
The result is six songs based on the exotica/dixieland canon, with a dusty and vintage sound—but played by stiff, clunky and goofy 50’s sci-fi robots. By the end of the first song you feel like you’re in a classic Hollywood movie—but then the robots start getting stuck, you notice the organ lines are looping, the rhythm is skipping, and a whole colorful, weird, “slightly off” world seems to open up. Its main downside is that it should have more songs—as soon as you start wondering if someone spiked your Bloody Mary, it’s already over.

How much should an 18 year old female pay for car insurance?
I live in Nevada and am 18 years old,I am paying 1,000 for a six month premium.so thats like 200 dollars each month.I thought that was normal but then all my friends were telling me I was paying too much.One of my friends pays only 1,300 for a full year and she has a brand new car and is younger than me.I have a used 1995 honda passport.And its only liability im paying.I have been in no wrecks at all and have had no tickets.My driving record is clean.My friends were shocked,they said i was getting ripped off,they told me I should only be paying like 100 dollars a month.is this true?Even when I had my older car i was still paying 200 a month and it was an old 1988 beat up honda with liabilty and that doesnt sound right at all.my other friend as an old car and pays 80 a month.Im with a local company and i went with it because my parents told me it was the cheapest and I figured they were right, I figured all the bigger companies life state farm and progressive would be more.""

Do i have to inform my car insurance company if i move?
I'm under my dad's insurance. He is listed as the primary driver. My mom and I are under the same policy. It expired on 10/15 and we renewed the policy the same day for another 6 months. Well, I am moving tomorrow to another county about 30 miles away and we didn't think about the insurance. I am also about to turn in to the DMV a notice of change of address. Do I need to notify the insurance company? Since I am living on my own, will it force me to be on my own policy?

However policy does match me driving the newer car. How could we do this with me moving out with the new car (not the car that I own under DMV).""

I have a Subaru Impreza which I want to use at weekends etc and only little use. Is there any sort of Insurance for this? Its a 1998 plate so don't think I qualify for classic cover. Basically I will do about 500 miles a year in the Subaru and can't afford the 4000 for the year. I know a lot of people will say just sell it etc etc. But I love the car and owned for the last year and do not want to sell. I just want a little help please. With the cost of petrol etc I no longer use the Subaru as everyday use as it gets me about 11 MPG and the Kia about 53 MPG and can't afford two full price premiums. So is there any temp weekend cover for the year or small use/classic kind of thing? Any advice will be very much appreciated. Kind Regards""

Car accident and they got old insurance.?
I got in a car accident last November and they tried to hit me with 6 duis with no evidence. We got the FDLC results 6 MONTHS LATER, and it came up with nothing. I have no idea what they had to charge me with 6 DUIs, however... It was reduced to reckless driving. Anyways, when I got in the accident, I left in an ambulance. The police gave out the wrong car insurance (I had just got statefarm the day before.) They gave like esurance to everyone, which was the WRONG insurance. So, I ended up having to tell the hospitals etc that they gave out the wrong insurance. Then I got a call from one of the people I hit's insurance, and they queried about what insurance I had (They said the policy they were given expired in like 08.)... Part of the deal of reckless driving is that I pay restitution. My lawyer is unaware that the police gave out the wrong insurance, but he told me that there should be like nothing (insurance should cover all of it.) I just got a letter in the mail yesterday saying that I owe 2500 to some person. Is it possible that he was given the wrong insurance as well, thus me getting charged for this?""

MASERATI MAGIC BROUGHT BACK FROM THE PAST
Tumblr media
WHEN AN OLD FRIEND ASKED ME TO COME SEE THREE UNRESTORED MASERATIS HE'D FOUND IN A GARAGE, I'D JUMPED IN MY CAR BEFORE HE COULD SAY 'VIGNALE SPYDER.
I was just finishing my morning espresso when I saw an old family friend's name appear on my phone's display. It's the sort of call that always gets my immediate attention. It's been that way ever since I was a kid and Marcel would pay us a visit in our family's monumental half-timbered farmhouse in the southernmost point of the Netherlands, just a stone's throw away from the medieval monastery then owned by Marcel's parents.
What makes the memories of his visits stand out is that Marcel drove very cool cars. To be fair, I couldn't tell you what he and my parents used to talk about back then, I was far to preoccupied with swimming, eating ice cream and throwing my model airplane down the steep slopes surrounding the farm, but I can vividly picture the sound of his Maserati Biturbo convertible as it roared up the hill. Just as I can still feel the cool evening breeze on my face from when he took us for a spin, the roof down, our legs tucked away under a blanket, and showed us what this very modest looking car was capable of. Let's just say it was a proper wolf in sheep's clothing - its 250 horsepower more than enough to fit any modern sedan (something that cannot be said for its styling though).
Tumblr media
In the years that followed, we gradually lost touch. I went off to college, the family house in the south was sold and meanwhile Marcel started a business and moved abroad. What I did hear, is that he always kept his good taste in cars. As his business grew, so did his collection of mainly classic Maseratis and Porsches.
So when he called me after all those years (we'd spoken occasionally, but hadn't met in years) the three Maseratis he and a friend had come across in an old garage in Belgium, covered in dust, weren't the only barn finds that day: it felt as if the sheets were lifted from our common past as well.
Tumblr media
I still had a good two hours drive ahead of me, and while I made my way south, Marcel told me all about his life and their discovery, consisting of a Sebring S1, a 3500 Touring Superleggera and - as the collections pièce de résistance - a glorious and unrestored 3500 GT Vignale Spyder. It turned out Marcel's friend Bart had always known about its existence, having first seen the car when he was still a teenager, making his way through the sixties. He followed the Vignale home - he just had to - and introduced himself to the owner.
For ten years he witnessed the Vignale driving through his neighbourhood, the soundtrack of the mighty six cilinder accompanying its owner on his daily travels, until it ended up in a garage in 1977, waiting to be restored. Bart lost track of the car when he moved to Hong Kong, and by the time he came back to the Netherlands, the owner had moved, leaving an empty house and no information on his current whereabouts.  
Tumblr media
Over the years the Vignale got lost in time, but the Maserati friends never gave up hope of finding it again one day. In the end, it took them almost forty years to reconnect with Bart's teenage love. It was still owned by the same man he had followed home that day. Besides the Vignale Spyder, the owner also housed the Touring and Sebring, but now in his seventies, it had became clear he would never restore the cars himself and was ready to bid them adieu. They acquired the Trident Trio, winched the cars from their secret hiding place and took them home.
When I arrived at his place, Marcel came walking down the driveway and welcomed me as a long lost friend. He hadn't aged much, although I remembered him to be taller (but then again, I was only ten in the backseat of his Biturbo). We had coffee and I'm pretty sure he was telling me all those family anecdotes just to built my anticipation. Then it was time. We walked outside and when he finally opened the garage doors, I felt something I don't usually feel without the presence of a woman.
Tumblr media
It was like I had just opened a time capsule. It was mesmerising to see the Vignale Spyder covered in dirt, accumulated since my birth year in 1977. I knew the engine had to be overhauled, so I wasn't going to hear it anytime soon, but somehow that didn't change a thing. I didn't even want to sit behind the steering wheel, afraid I might jinx this well preserved sarcophagus, with all due consequences (locusts and three days of darkness, at the very least). I just stood there for a while, thinking of what it must have been like for young Bart to hear this car drive through his street, following its tire tracks through the years and finding it back a lifetime later.
