Maserati gets racy with model Genevieve Morton — see the pics here

25 May, 2015

Maserati’s brochures already exude an air of class and luxury, thanks to the beautifully designed vehicles in their line-up. For 2015, the beauty factor will be turned up a notch, with Maserati choosing top South African model Genevieve Morton to present its vehicle range in the 2015 brochures and a global media campaign.

Morton has already completed one major photo shoot for Maserati, covering its entire range — including the flagship Quattroporte sedan, as well as the new Ghibli sports sedan, and traditional Maserati sports icons the GranTurismo and GranCabrio. You can watch the behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot in the video below:

Covering a range of environments and backdrops, the photo shoots compliment the “style, performance, elegance, and exclusivity of the Maserati range,” according to Maserati. The brochures will be released in both hard copy and digital formats, along with social media content on both Maserati’s and Morton’s social media channels.

Lancia Stratos – building a winner

On his own, and later with his wife Suzie, Craig Tickle has built and raced many rally cars. Starting in 1988, Craig went half shares in a Mk1 Escort and took it rallying. Apart from a few years in the US studying how to be a nuclear engineer, he has always had a rally car in the garage. When he is not playing with cars, he works as an engineer for his design consulting company.
Naturally, anybody interested in rallying has heard of the Lancia Stratos, the poster child and winner of the World Rally circuit in 1974, ’75, and ’76. Just as the Lamborghini Countach rebranded the world of supercars, so, too, did the Lancia Stratos when it came to getting down and dirty in the rally world.

This could be good news for restoring cars and bikes – but we must be quick!

Our parliament is currently considering a member’s Bill, drawn by ballot, called the ‘Right to Repair’ Bill.
It’s due to go a Select Committee for consideration, and we can make submissions ie say what we think of it, before 3 April this year. It’s important because it will make spare parts and information for doing repairs far more readily available and this should slow the rate at which appliances, toys and so on get sent to landfill.
