I was imagining Queen playing “I’m in Love with My Car” as you were flying down the road. The roar of that engine when you gave it the gas was so sweet! Fix whatever needs fixing, it will be so worth it!
Phil I thought I had a car guy of one of my sons he hates cars now hates working on them after working at a garage. The joy and knowledge you have working on any car is a wonderful gift and talent you have. Thank you for sharing it to use
Have you considered changing out the plug wires? If the plugs hadn't previously been changed there is a chance the wires haven't either. At any rate, it's a gorgeous car. Can't wait to see what you make of it.
Sharing your joy, Phil! Your diagnostic skills are amazing. Hoping that the other factors which you mentioned could be contributing to an ongoing intermittent engine code are resolved as you work through them. Even if more work is required, as you noted, what a deal you got on a VERY sweet ride. The look on your face when you discuss your Maserati says it all!
I could see the excitement and feel the anticipation along with you, I’m sure I held my breath a couple of times too 😂😂. She is a beauty and sounds every bit of good as she looks. Fingers crossed for you. K🇬🇧❤️❤️
I love this channel❤, not sure if it’s a thing anymore, but in my youth, we loved sitting around and listening to guys talk about cars. It seems that’s mostly what they all talked about around us anyway… I learned a lot! Anyway, good fun…thanks for the smiles, too, love your wry sense of humor too 😂
Sounds unbelievably good Phil hope after the oil change it clears itself beautiful car and at £5k if you fix it what a bargain, can’t wait to see it detailed so it’s gleaming ,well done 👍🏻
Beautiful car Phil❤ After you changed the plugs it purred. However, once you put everything back on and started it up, I could hear a slight miss. I know you can fix it and have a fabulous car.
I hope you will have better news after an oil change. I’m very happy for you as it does sound beautiful your new car. Congratulations Phil. I’m sure you will be able to pass the French car safety test or whatever you call it. Thank you. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
The Honda VVT solenoids have mesh filters that get clogged and mess them around. If you’re doing an oil change might be worth looking if it has mesh filters that need cleaning or replacing. Good luck with it as it’s a sexy car!
It definitely sounds much better after the plugs were completely changed! I was sitting on the edge of my seat when you fired her up! Finishing up with a full tune-up could possibly help too, or at least buy you some time...but you know that! Just like we both know that even if you have to do engine work she's definitely worth it! 😊
Great job Phil. Now oil change and what we call an emissions test here in the USA to get fresh tags. Hopefully the engine will figure itself out and run right for you. Have a terrific day
On the brite side you can clean the windshield. I am half deaf and I could even tell the difference. Sometimes the light needs to be cancled. If it comes back on you keep looking. So glad for you. Good luck with the French.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Omigosh I can't stop giggling 😂 that engine went from g g glug to purrrrr WOW accelerates well 🤣🤣🤣 more like accelerates like it was built to??? Handles...?? 😳 EXTREMELY well? Good God man even the sound of the hood closing and the doors closing!! 😁😁 Congratulations Phil!! You own your dream car!! You own a Maserati!! ❤❤❤ You'll get the bugs chased out, you're in your Element! 👏🥰
My old Toyota has had the engine light on since before I bought it. The Toyota dealership could not figure out why. It has been purring along for over ten years now!
Well Phil you have found an absolute bargain and with your knowledge will be back to singing sweetly. Sounds very good already! good to see that smile of happiness back 🙂
I was hoping and wishing it was the plugs! I’m so glad it was mostly the plugs. Praying it’s not more after an oil change, maybe try an additive that can clean the gunk out 🤷🏻♀️. Or a fouled wire? This I very much like changing the plugs on a ‘78 Cadillac sedan de vile. My dad loved me double jointed cause I could maneuver around stuff instead of taking everything off like the AC pump and power steering and more. Watching you makes this girl miss working on cars with her dad.
Phil you amaze me on how well you fix all those vechiles as a mechanic with no mechanic books around. Who did you learn mechanical things from your father, grandfather, friends or work?
Well done, Phil! So happy for you! So pleased to see how much joy this Maserati is bringing you! You deserve it! Hope all goes well with the safety test. Thanks for another very enjoyable video!
I owned one with the original F1 transmission and loved it. Had virtually no issues with that (I realize I'm in the minority, but I drove it in manual almost all the time just using the paddles to shift. I sold it and I still miss it.
Awesome Phil! A bargain if you can sort out the little issues that maybe lingering. Even for an old knackered one of those here in OZ you’ll still pay 20k euro. 😩🙌
Let's go get Billy and take a ride! Let's go have some fun!! It's sounds amazing! Even if you have to put a little money into your investment. It's worth it!!!
Your garage has sheltered “the good, the bad, and the ugly”, now you’ve got a beauty in there. Happy for you.
Whoo Hoo! You’ve got yourself a bargain! Congratulations!You deserve this ride!
Oh Phil, congratulations on getting it running. I'm so pleased for you.
Cheers
Car's sounding better and fingers and toes crossed it gets through the Safety Test

Great job, Phil.
Get it detailed. You deserve it.
Wow thanks for taking us on that journey!!!!! Never seen you happier!!! I’m sure you have been but it’s good to see you lighter

Car is sounding alot better especially when you put your foot down
Check the gas cap. I know that sounds stupid but you’d be surprised.
Can’t wait to see Billy next to you. He’s gonna be a might jelly. Congrats Phil. Pure satisfaction is really wonderful to see in you.
I haven’t heard anything about getting the right gap setting on the plugs in years. The engine sounds smooth.
Should still always check.
I had to look up the gap for both my Ram Hemi and the Jeep. They were all way off, the Hemi was too big and the Jeep there was mostly no gap at all.
I like the sound of the rumble when it's running ❤
When you fired it up, I got the biggest smile on my face. I can only imagine how excited you must be. It sounds amazing!
I'm sure you'll be able to repair the car, you're a wiz in fixing cars.
Woo hoo! That sounds so smooth. Just someone lazy didn't want to change those plugs. ❤
I hope everything is good because it sounds and drives perfect. Great car
Aww she sounded sweeeet!! 🤗 I barely remember names or details of cars, but I know when it sounds off or sweet!
Love it ! Well done Phil
I could see the excitement and feel the anticipation along with you, I’m sure I held my breath a couple of times too 😂😂. She is a beauty and sounds every bit of good as she looks. Fingers crossed for you. K🇬🇧❤️❤️
Good luck with the test hope all goes well

A good project. Hope it goes well and not too expensive.

Such a car guy! Congratulations.
Yeow, the sound is exhilarating! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
🤣🤣🤣 and 😳🤣 that was a very nice moment!! 🥰🥰😁
Hi Phil, this was a fun video. I ❤️ your enthusiasm & happiness over your new vehicle! Looks great, sounds great! You deserve a high five 🖐️. Cheers 🍻
By Jove, I think you've got it! Congratulations Phil. Good luck with the French MOT.
AWESOME !!! You go Phil, that is a sweet ride. Get that baby shinned up. No speeding tickets though, ha ha, ha !
Beautiful car Phil❤ After you changed the plugs it purred. However, once you put everything back on and started it up, I could hear a slight miss. I know you can fix it and have a fabulous car.

I'm so happy for you Phil...just as soon as you started the car I could hear the difference...sounds great enjoy your new ride !
The Honda VVT solenoids have mesh filters that get clogged and mess them around. If you’re doing an oil change might be worth looking if it has mesh filters that need cleaning or replacing. Good luck with it as it’s a sexy car!
Check that it’s got the right viscosity oil too as that can mess with variable valve timing
Fabulous win today Phil 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊
I had to re gap all 16 of mine on my Hemi, they were too big and the Jeep, they was almost no gap at all. She sounds much better. Have fun.
Funnily as you were about to start it back up, an ad for towing came up. 😂 Well done, congrats on the new and gorgeous ride!
As always, great B roll footage. It must take ages for those... but thank you
Absolutely gorgeous vehicle Phil. Well done. I hope you can get it to your specifications.
Love how happy this makes you ! That makes it a great purchase no matter what you need to do.
I love the interior of that car.
Thanks for the ride!!!!I loved it
Hi Phil, Yippee re spark plugs…. You are so talented you will certainly work it out. Enjoy working on your dream car. Cheers Trish NZ
It sounds so good when the pedal goes to the metal. A real smile maker. Great going Phil.
It definitely sounds much better after the plugs were completely changed! I was sitting on the edge of my seat when you fired her up! Finishing up with a full tune-up could possibly help too, or at least buy you some time...but you know that! Just like we both know that even if you have to do engine work she's definitely worth it!
😊
Love to see you so happy 😊
Yesssssss! Great result! Love this Phil, be happy!💋
Hope your check engine light isn't anything too serious...but Phil it sounded like you were mortally flying when you dropped the petal to the metal 😊
Great work Phil ❤
Looking good! Fingers crossed!
So happy for you Phil. It sounds beautiful. Good luck with the safety check. X❤
Great job Phil. Now oil change and what we call an emissions test here in the USA to get fresh tags. Hopefully the engine will figure itself out and run right for you. Have a terrific day
The V8 has a special sound .... of yum
On the brite side you can clean the windshield. I am half deaf and I could even tell the difference. Sometimes the light needs to be cancled. If it comes back on you keep looking. So glad for you. Good luck with the French.
Way to go Phil! You got yourself a Mas!
Good for you! A nice success!
What a wonderful engine note! A beautiful car all round!
Awe it sounds sweet. Love that sound.
Depth of knowledge is what's required and what you have 😊
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Omigosh I can't stop giggling 😂 that engine went from g g glug to purrrrr WOW accelerates well 🤣🤣🤣 more like accelerates like it was built to??? Handles...?? 😳 EXTREMELY well? Good God man even the sound of the hood closing and the doors closing!! 😁😁 Congratulations Phil!! You own your dream car!! You own a Maserati!! ❤❤❤ You'll get the bugs chased out, you're in your Element! 👏🥰
My 2007 Saturn has been running along fine with the coolant light on for 4 years and the engine light 2 yrs. 😊
My old Toyota has had the engine light on since before I bought it. The Toyota dealership could not figure out why. It has been purring along for over ten years now!
so happy for you...lpve the sweet sound of that v8!!
Congratulations Phil on this Beaty! I’m very happy for you.
No speeding! Good luck in the inspection.
OMG. All it needed was new spark plugs. Amazing. Someone will be kicking themselves!
Well Phil you have found an absolute bargain and with your knowledge will be back to singing sweetly. Sounds very good already! good to see that smile of happiness back 🙂
❤❤❤❤❤
Great job Phil!!!! 👍
Sweet success !
Whatever it needs....you can do it!
Yay! You are fixing it. The computer may be learning or adjusting. Have a good rest of your week! Sensors are a pain!
I was hoping and wishing it was the plugs! I’m so glad it was mostly the plugs. Praying it’s not more after an oil change, maybe try an additive that can clean the gunk out 🤷🏻♀️. Or a fouled wire?

Watching you makes this girl miss working on cars with her dad.
Still like the burble of the engine on my RR, but the Maserati is your baby, and I'm glad it's making you happy.
Awesome!
Flipping’eck, makes servicing my 2007 BMW Z4 3.0si coupe seem a breeze 😁
You look like a happy man to me❣️
Soooo excited for you Phil!! You soooo deserve this new project. 🎉🎉🎉
Good luck Phil...I hope its fixed...you deserve some play time...enjoy your new toy!

Phil you amaze me on how well you fix all those vechiles as a mechanic with no mechanic books around. Who did you learn mechanical things from your father, grandfather, friends or work?
Sounds good to me!
There's that smile again! Congratulations I'm happy for you❤ maybe the sensors need to be reset
Wow sounds incredible, great buy.
Well done, Phil! So happy for you! So pleased to see how much joy this Maserati is bringing you! You deserve it! Hope all goes well with the safety test. Thanks for another very enjoyable video!
Phil so happy for you . Good luck.
You’re a good man Phil, crack on!
whoa when did this happen? how swish for you Phil the ladies will love that car :) Ant Anstead look out ;)
I owned one with the original F1 transmission and loved it. Had virtually no issues with that (I realize I'm in the minority, but I drove it in manual almost all the time just using the paddles to shift. I sold it and I still miss it.
Thats a fantastic win....hope the guy doesn't see it and want to charge you and extra 30 k
Phil 🫢, I Was in Panic, Your a Star 🌟, Was That Storm Kathleen 🥱🥱🥱
Awesome Phil! A bargain if you can sort out the little issues that maybe lingering. Even for an old knackered one of those here in OZ you’ll still pay 20k euro. 😩🙌
Sounds amazing!
The car is purrrrring.....
Lovely car and great content for your channel. Look forward to see how you get on with it.
What a rush 💪😁
Check the gas cap❤❤❤
OMG, this is a gorgeous car. Bravo Phil! It sounds SO SEXY!!! I'm not a dude, but I can only imagine how giddy you are to own this beautiful machine.
Hey Phil, congratulations on getting the Maserati to run! Wondering if you may simply need to clear the prior fault codes?
Super Video ! Congratulations ! Very beautiful car ! love the M139.
Let's go get Billy and take a ride! Let's go have some fun!! It's sounds amazing! Even if you have to put a little money into your investment. It's worth it!!!
