This is only allowed to be used for fuel in the Maserati, should get you nearly 10 miles 😂. Only found your channel last week, have ploughed through a few videos already, great stuff. Have never done a super thanks for anyone before, but you come across as a really nice legit guy that I'd like to support. Good luck with your channel, it deserves to grow and grow 👍
@dadcars haha you couldn't have spent it better. That it went towards Maserati-tunnel-time expenditure makes it feel like getting giftaid on top of a charity donation 🤣
Fuel talk, I was in a strange space debating between getting a quattroporte qp5 or a Mazda rx8. I now have a 2011 rx8 for 6 months and I’m getting 14mpg on 150ftlb of torque! While it’s the most agile 4 seater ive ever driven, I do wonder what life would be like paying 14mpg with 400hp and torque instead.
@@tnutss I had a 2003 rx8. Did 113k miles in it. Averaged about 20mpg in it in general. Even got 30mpg out of it on a boring motorway run. Heading for 9k rpm in 3rd was just the best though 😊 I'd love to get an R3 now but just couldn't cope with £735/year road tax/ved/whatever you want to call it, it would do my head in
As a Maserati Quattroporte owner an a father of two older daughters its great to see and her their enthusiasm, enjoy the car as that engine is one of the most underrated engines in the motoring world. A note of caution, keep on good terms with Ash as a main dealer will fleece you dry. Brilliant video and it could bring a tear to a glass eye🎉
To support all the effort and consistency you have put in over the last 2 years. Glad I could supply one car for your review and hopefully I can do another!
Congratulations on getting your dream car!! I am also aiming for a Granturismo but that dream is on hold at the moment due to being in kidney failure. I'm currently running my tyre business in between dialysis sessions of 4 hours at a time, 3 afternoons a week... But... Once I've had that transplant, I'm recovered and back in full swing at work... You had better be sure, I WILL be treating myself to a Granturismo!!!
Congrats. I bought a Granturismo 4.7 S a year and a half ago and love it. No regrets and no issues. It’s been a blast. I upgraded xpipe and some carbon fiber exterior stuff. I daily mine and only issue I have is how low and long the front is. Driveways can be a pain but that’s it lol. You will love this car and build so many memories with your children. Can’t wait to see what you film next
Autofunk are legends for doing you that deal. I've given them a follow and will take a look at their videos. Car looks amazing - I hope it looks after you. Anyone would think it was a £100k motor even today. You are well on your way to FF ownership, but congratulations on this milestone! Looking forward to the series.
Never been happier to see a car youtuber acquire a new vehicle. You're excitement is contagious and I'm genuinely looking forward to see your adventures with this. Enjoy it to the fullest!
Hi Ben, congratulations on achieving one of your dreams! As a dad myself, I can relate to what you're doing here. I'm trying to get my kids into the cars as well, though I am not really successful so far. Yours are so delighted and adorable when they see their daddy's new ride. I am looking forward to your oncoming videos.
Just make being in your car exciting, take it to fun places. Go to a cars and coffee morning with them and make a car hunt sheet where they get a sweet for finding the car badges, that works really well with mine :)
I have a passion for Maserati, used to be a tech. at a (then) dealer in Surrey working on the older Masers, Merak/Bora etc. Love these Granturisimo. Hope all goes well
I was worried for a minute that you were going to start buying boring family cars but here you are a new owner of one of my dream dadcar, congrats you deserve this.
On another thought comparing between qp5 and the gran turismo, you probably have more viewer draw picking up the 2 door vs the 4 door. AND helps to work with multimac to showcase what is possible!
Watching your pure joy with getting this car makes it feel like you're on the trade UP program now! What a great buy, what a great car and truly what a legend Llew is for selling it to you this way! We all need to reward him by subscribing to his channel.
BIG CONGRATS Ben on purchasing your affordable dream Daderati! You really have done an amazing job with the channel and deserve all the success. As a petrolhead with two little girls myself I am so glad you started your channel. Your passion for both your family and cars is what really got me. Keep up the good work. Excited to follow you forward. All the best from Sweden / Natanael
Dream seller, dream spec, dream car, dream storytelling, dream video. Have subscribed to Lew’s channel. Cheers Ben! PS looking on Autotrader and Pistonheads right now…
@@dadcars no question your best video to date (and there have been some corkers). This resonated with me 100%. Here’s to you, your family and the channel. Next level storytelling…
Subbed. Huge congratulations fella on the motor . Love your passion, Your little ones were excited too ... They know there stuff LOL. All the best fella 👍
Congratulations on the purchase, lovely video to watch, especially the reaction of your girls. As a dad to 2 now teenage daughters that really made my day, lovely! I’ve managed all through their younger years with 4 seater convertibles, just also added an Elise to the garage…..they now want to drive it, be warned, making girls petrolheads could get expensive! 😂😂
I'm a 35 year old dad and today put down a deposit on a car I've been dreaming of for years, a Maserati Granturismo S. The timing of this lovely and emotional Dadcars vid is impeccable! I'm picking it up later this week so can't wait to experience the same flood of emotions. Maybe see you at a Dadcar meet next year to compare GTs.
I’m not into cars. I don’t watch your channel but my husband is a car enthusiast and watches all the you tubers and over the years I’ve seen little glimpses of your channel and your ethos around dad cars and not settling for boring has inspired my husband greatly. He’s grown a business over the last 7 years whilst I have raised our babies at home. It’s been a slog. Lots of sacrifice. Lots of working hoping that some day it will pay off whilst dealing with the struggle of paying your staff more than you pay yourself. In the last 12 months I’ve started my own business now that our children are in school. Things are shifting for us. Our world is expanding and most relevantly to this channel my husband is now comfortably able to buy his dream car an Audi RS6. We drove up to London last week and picked it up and he’s loving it. The unexpected element is how it’s impacting our children. It’s so empowering for them to see us work hard for something and then make it a reality. The daily drive in it makes all the shit moments in business feel worth while. I’m stoked for my husband. I’m stoked for you. I’m stoked for all the other people out there who set out with a vision and slog their guts out until they get it. This video brought me to tears. Well done you 🎉
Wow what a comment thank you so much for sharing this, I can relate to this so much with what it’s been like for me and my wife. I would love to meet your family at an event sometime! Keep an eye out on Instagram and bring the RS6, I’d love to meet you all :)
I genuinely had a smile from ear to ear and couldn’t be happier for you!! The amount of hard work and graft you’ve put into the channel deserves recognition!! For all the Dadcarists out there you’re doing an amazing service 🫡 This also proves how we have such an amazing car content creator group who really look after each other 🙏
@ glad you’re putting them to good use 😊 saw some of the pics and coverage and it was a fab setup! Wish I was there! Going to do my best to come to at least one of the Petrolheadonism Underground days at Wembley next year 💪
Congratulations and well done! Making memories is what Life is all about. I made my unrecorded mem:(except in my mind), over 35 years ago with my 2yr old son driving the Sussex B roads on sunday mornings in an Alfa Romeo Sprint Sud...
I can really feel your joy and excitement. My grail car is a DB9 which you have already owned and I hope one day I will be getting that emotional buzz that you are obviously feeling 🎉❤
I'm honestly made up for you mate! This is my dream car too, but a Black 4.7 cabriolet, with a red interior. Wishing you happy motoring & the best memories with the family bruv! 🙂
I’m OVER THE MOON for you Ben, so chuffed for you. What a deal and what a car, such a lovely seller and I’ll be going over to his channel. Please please please get that X pipe! Your girls reaction ❤
I'm so genuinely chuffed and over the moon for you mate. the piestaresistance was your beautiful children asking for you to rev the car and you can see there excitement and happiness for you. Keep up the good work and I will continue to support a genuine fella.👊🏼
Truly inspiring video. Honestly, quite an emotional watch (in a really good way). Just lovely to see you being that magic Dad. Your family clearly so appreciate you. I have a few years on you, but had that same relationship with my Dad, and then my Son. You are so right about being in the moment, and a car can very much be the signature for that - I can also tell you it lasts forever. You have a great journey ahead and deserve every success.
Fantastic !!! I love your enthusiasm and joy in getting what you really wanted - reminds me so much of a day back in 1995 when I picked up my first Porsche and drove it home for the first time ….. what a day ….!
You look so happy, Ben. That’s a fantastic car and what an incredible price. With content like this I can see the channel continuing to grow. Good work.
Love it, I've just bought a cheap grancabrio with a few issues, people advised me strongly not to which made me even more determined to make it mine! Glad to see someone else with the balls to do it! Sport maserati forum us full of help, autel ap200 @£50 will diagnose most problems. Enjoy the noise, love the channel
Well done Ben huge congratulations mate ,on getting your dream dad car ,the girls seems to love it ,just needs a full detail and an X pipe best get it sorted mate 👍
Such a wholesome video Ben. Fair play for following your passion, great to see you enjoying the car for yourself and with the kids. Keep flying the flag for us dad's.
Ben, it has been a true pleasure seeing your channel growing since the very beginning. I proudly sport the Schoolrunring on my S3, my first exciting dadcar. You are an inspiration! On to 50k and so on and so forth (as JayEmm would say ahah)
What a great video, your content just gets better and better mate To see your genuine passion, love and excitement for what you are achieving getting the car and your kids reactions at the end of the video, priceless memories I remember my Dad renting a Mk2 Astra SRI for the weekend of my 13th Birthday with a trip out to the local Harvesters, i was a car nut back then (41 now!) so he knew i would love it, lots of other amazing car memories as well Look forward to the rest of the series 🙂
That fizzing feeling you described about driving your dream car home is exactly what I experienced with my Subaru. By no means an expensive car, but my dream car. Great video Ben - congrats on the new motor!
Thanks for the video Ben! Really appreciated! Beautiful car! The looks and that engine and note it makes! My friend has one and had no issues apart from wear and tear on brakes and suspension.
Love your kids reaction at the end ❤️ great work Ben! And I really hope you get around to that podcast soon as I would definitely listen! Here is to onwards and upwards for you!
Just ordered the new Dadcars top and didn't use the discount code as i think it's worth the money without the discount, can't wait for it to arrive, enjoy the smiles per miles Andy & Shelby
Congrats. Lovely car. One of the coolest ever made, and a fantastic engine in it. Hope to get one for myself someday. Can´t wait to see how much you'll enjoy this.
Awesome video, your positive energy gives me such a joy hope as well, that one day i can do what you did car wise. Will be great move to get bigger place for your car hobby. Cheers to you Ben from another dad.
Hey man im really rooting for you and i hope you get that house with a 2 car garage soon. I love the concept of your channel its very wholesome and you seem like such a cool dude and a very good father! Im also very happy you bought that maserati and i cant wait to see what the ownership will look like
Congratulations man seriously. I daily a California T now but owned a 2018 GT last year(got the Cali T in June) and I still miss it at times. Maybe it’s because it was one of those cars I dreamed of for years(I fully expected to still own it at this point but financially I’ve been blessed and have taken off in my work) so I wanted to dip my toes into Ferrari ownership. For me personally it’s either the F12/488/458 next but I’ll always cherish the granturismo. When I have garage space for two cars I will 1000% buy another one preferably in an MC spec this time. With that being said enjoy it, the sound when you hit the gas will make you smile everytime.
That was great deal Ben, you've bagged a Gran Turismo S for facelift Quattroporte money, and in a great colour combination too. I must admit I enjoy pulling up in my QP at Aldi to do some shopping, it makes any boring journey a bit special.
This is an incredible experience to share with you, it proves my decision to own my old car. I'm carer to my disabled wife so car choices have to accommodate her plus her electric wheelchair plus I've 6 grandchildren, so I drive a 2005 ford galaxy but rather than the very decent vw pd diesel engine my car has a 2.8 24v vr6 fitted. So even the most sensible option can have some excitement, the bonus is it's top spec ghia so have rear dvd entertainment included which the grandchildren love. You have a fantastic channel that is the most real, I'm really just very pleased that you are in that very special car 🍻
So glad to see your channel turn the corner in terms of profitability! Some suggestions would be to do some filming of you taking the kids to a new place with the new whip! Making memories for your sake and theirs! Perhaps even a travel guide for those coming to UK for a visit. Good luck again and congrats on the new purchase. I still think the QP5 would have been a better purchase in terms of size and same chassis and more beautiful personally.
QP is all round a better buy for the money and more practical for sure but a 2 door coupe is what’s in my heart! I’m sure I’ll get a QP eventually as well :)
Congrats, I've just purchased a Ghibli S and pick it up next week, I watched your video on the Ghibli Diesel to see if the kid seats fit in, and now thanks to you, I've also bought my dream Maserati. Enjoy mate, well deserved.
To see the way your kids are with you and your car, it's amazing, my boy is only 1, but I can only hope he will be that excited with the cars I get, I want him to be a part of my car journey and go to meets with me, great video mate, congratulations on your dream car.
Congratulations, wonderful to see how that worked out so perfectly. Great to see the reaction at home to the new car, even nicer to see the first great reaction is "It's Daddy!"
Fantastic video Ben. Congrats on the new Massa. You are going to have so much fun with her, as are we through your videos. Does she have a name? I'm looking at a CLK500 as a daily driver. I do 17k a year and am not looking forward to the fuel bills! Enjoy your car. You've earned it!
I worked for Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo for 13 years including when that car was new. Great car. Congratulations, love the excitement from you and your children. Hope you make great memories with it.
Ben over the moon for you always a highlight of my weekend man and just as always a great up lifting vid that makes me feel good about my 23 year old CL500. Made an old man happy and locking onto Lu’s channel what a top cat❤🎉🎉
With the new car world going insane on price and safety features, things like this make me smile. This is the greatest era of cars, just sold my 2019 AM Vantage… time to get shopping!!
Ah thanks man I’m just so happy we’ve got a growing number of people who enjoy the channel 🙌 the bigger it gets the more exciting cars and adventures we do!
Congratulations! It’s very similar to mine, including the drooping headlining! I’m looking forward to seeing how you sort that and hope you make a video about any issues you find with the interior.

As soon as I saw the AutoFunk guy, I knew that the car would be good. I've been following them for a while. That car is a steal at the price.
Llew is a legend for this 🥲

Enjoy it Ben! Can't wait to see all the future videos and adventures! 🔥
Thank you so much Llew!! You’re a legend 🙌

To truly appreciate the meaning behind this channel
30:10 and on shows The driving force behind lots of Bens decisions ❤❤❤❤
You got it man! 🥹
Wow what an amazing buy.
Back in 2014 I bought a 4200 Cambio Corsa for £10,000 and the car was only 10 years old.
Very Special Cars indeed.
I’ve a huge soft spot for those coupes too :)
Congrats. I bought a Granturismo 4.7 S a year and a half ago and love it. No regrets and no issues. It’s been a blast. I upgraded xpipe and some carbon fiber exterior stuff. I daily mine and only issue I have is how low and long the front is. Driveways can be a pain but that’s it lol. You will love this car and build so many memories with your children. Can’t wait to see what you film next
Awesome thanks man! Yours sounds epic
Memories with your children that will last forever, what a heartfelt video Ben. You nailed it!!!
I’m so glad people are enjoying this mad adventure 🙌😊
Autofunk are legends for doing you that deal. I've given them a follow and will take a look at their videos.
Car looks amazing - I hope it looks after you. Anyone would think it was a £100k motor even today.
You are well on your way to FF ownership, but congratulations on this milestone! Looking forward to the series.
Thanks man! Yeah Llew was so kind doing this
I'm so happy for you ❤I love this kind of things, the way you thought it out and also the fact that you are a true gentleman!
Cheers man!! 🙌😊
The granturismo is one of those cars that’s due for a reevaluation among enthusiast. Hydraulic steering. NA V8. Leather wrapped cabin. Lots to love
They are just so damn special, especially for the money they are now!!
Never been happier to see a car youtuber acquire a new vehicle. You're excitement is contagious and I'm genuinely looking forward to see your adventures with this. Enjoy it to the fullest!

Ben, it has been a true pleasure seeing your channel growing since the very beginning. I proudly sport the Schoolrunring on my S3, my first exciting dadcar. You are an inspiration! On to 50k and so on and so forth (as JayEmm would say ahah)
Ah thanks man! Schoolrunring 🙌😂 it’s exciting seeing it all come together :)
What a great video, your content just gets better and better mate
To see your genuine passion, love and excitement for what you are achieving getting the car and your kids reactions at the end of the video, priceless memories
I remember my Dad renting a Mk2 Astra SRI for the weekend of my 13th Birthday with a trip out to the local Harvesters, i was a car nut back then (41 now!) so he knew i would love it, lots of other amazing car memories as well
Look forward to the rest of the series 🙂
See people remember exciting cars their dad had! That’s what makes it worth all the money and maintenance 😅🙌
That fizzing feeling you described about driving your dream car home is exactly what I experienced with my Subaru. By no means an expensive car, but my dream car.
Great video Ben - congrats on the new motor!
Absolutely man! That first drive is exhilarating! 🙌
Bucketlist car … The Granturismo is soooo cool . Congratz buddy
Cheers man!
Well chuffed for you Ben - the stars aligned! Funny how the hard work brings luck!
🙌😊
Thanks for the video Ben! Really appreciated! Beautiful car! The looks and that engine and note it makes! My friend has one and had no issues apart from wear and tear on brakes and suspension.
🙌😊
Love your kids reaction at the end ❤️ great work Ben! And I really hope you get around to that podcast soon as I would definitely listen! Here is to onwards and upwards for you!
Thanks man! 100k subs and I’ll start the podcast 🙌
Just ordered the new Dadcars top and didn't use the discount code as i think it's worth the money without the discount, can't wait for it to arrive, enjoy the smiles per miles Andy & Shelby
Ah man that’s awesome! Thank you! 🙌 everyone I see wearing one at a car show will get a hug from me 😅 I’m so excited about that t shirt
So unbelievable happy for you!! As a Dadcar owner myself I know exactly how you felt pulling onto your driveway. Congratulations mate, well deserved 🎉
Ah thanks man! Magical day
Congrats.
Lovely car.
One of the coolest ever made, and a fantastic engine in it.
Hope to get one for myself someday.
Can´t wait to see how much you'll enjoy this.
Cheers man :)
Awesome video, your positive energy gives me such a joy hope as well, that one day i can do what you did car wise. Will be great move to get bigger place for your car hobby. Cheers to you Ben from another dad.
Thanks man!!!!
I am so happy for you man! I got chills:) Enjoy it! Gonna take my V8 for a spin as a celebration:)
Ah thanks man! Means a lot that so many subscribers are enjoying this as much as I am! V8 dad life!!
You're right - there's no feeling like buying your dream car and driving it. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.
Thanks man!
Well done Ben!! What an ace car! And for the money, wow! Always loved these, great sound!
👌😮💨
Hey man im really rooting for you and i hope you get that house with a 2 car garage soon.
I love the concept of your channel its very wholesome and you seem like such a cool dude and a very good father!
Im also very happy you bought that maserati and i cant wait to see what the ownership will look like
Ah thanks man I really appreciate it!
Congratulations man seriously. I daily a California T now but owned a 2018 GT last year(got the Cali T in June) and I still miss it at times. Maybe it’s because it was one of those cars I dreamed of for years(I fully expected to still own it at this point but financially I’ve been blessed and have taken off in my work) so I wanted to dip my toes into Ferrari ownership.
For me personally it’s either the F12/488/458 next but I’ll always cherish the granturismo. When I have garage space for two cars I will 1000% buy another one preferably in an MC spec this time. With that being said enjoy it, the sound when you hit the gas will make you smile everytime.
Oh congrats man! 🙌 a prancing horse is in my future I’m confident of it!
That was great deal Ben, you've bagged a Gran Turismo S for facelift Quattroporte money, and in a great colour combination too. I must admit I enjoy pulling up in my QP at Aldi to do some shopping, it makes any boring journey a bit special.
💯 I love QPs! So special
This is an incredible experience to share with you, it proves my decision to own my old car. I'm carer to my disabled wife so car choices have to accommodate her plus her electric wheelchair plus I've 6 grandchildren, so I drive a 2005 ford galaxy but rather than the very decent vw pd diesel engine my car has a 2.8 24v vr6 fitted. So even the most sensible option can have some excitement, the bonus is it's top spec ghia so have rear dvd entertainment included which the grandchildren love. You have a fantastic channel that is the most real, I'm really just very pleased that you are in that very special car 🍻
MPVs with cool engines are mega cool 👏
So happy for you Ben. Coming from a dad too.. Congrats mate
Thanks man :)
Well done Ben. I've bought many categorised cars and it's amazing what you can get for your money. It's good to see another Maserati on the channel.
😊🙌
So glad to see your channel turn the corner in terms of profitability! Some suggestions would be to do some filming of you taking the kids to a new place with the new whip! Making memories for your sake and theirs! Perhaps even a travel guide for those coming to UK for a visit. Good luck again and congrats on the new purchase. I still think the QP5 would have been a better purchase in terms of size and same chassis and more beautiful personally.
QP is all round a better buy for the money and more practical for sure but a 2 door coupe is what’s in my heart! I’m sure I’ll get a QP eventually as well :)
Glad to see you getting this, it's a special feeling getting one of your dream cars and wonderful to be able to share the excitement with your family.
Thanks man :)
Congrats, I've just purchased a Ghibli S and pick it up next week, I watched your video on the Ghibli Diesel to see if the kid seats fit in, and now thanks to you, I've also bought my dream Maserati. Enjoy mate, well deserved.
Ah congrats man!!! 👏👏 the interiors are really nice on those cars
Quite the handsome machine for the money, they make an incredible sound too
Handsome, incredible sounds and 4 proper seats!! 🙌🙌🙌
That's awesome! I'd love to see if you like this better then the Coupe once you've owned it for 6 months.
I’ll have to do a video comparing the contrast :)
To see the way your kids are with you and your car, it's amazing, my boy is only 1, but I can only hope he will be that excited with the cars I get, I want him to be a part of my car journey and go to meets with me, great video mate, congratulations on your dream car.
Yeah man just make it always fun and exciting when he’s in dads car 🙌😊 has worked for me so far 😅
Congratulations, wonderful to see how that worked out so perfectly. Great to see the reaction at home to the new car, even nicer to see the first great reaction is "It's Daddy!"
Hearing excitement from your little ones when you come home is the best 🥲
Fantastic Ben, congratulations! Beautiful Maserati, and the seller is a top guy. Enjoy.
Llew was so kind 😊
Fantastic video Ben. Congrats on the new Massa. You are going to have so much fun with her, as are we through your videos. Does she have a name? I'm looking at a CLK500 as a daily driver. I do 17k a year and am not looking forward to the fuel bills! Enjoy your car. You've earned it!
I’ve just started calling it a Daderati again 😅
I worked for Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo for 13 years including when that car was new. Great car. Congratulations, love the excitement from you and your children. Hope you make great memories with it.
That’s awesome! 🙌😊 this generation of V8 Maseratis are just so special
Living the dream mate! Enjoy! 👍🏻
Thanks!!!
Congrats Ben! What a car! Even if it’s not a C63 😉
Ah yes… a 6.2 amg wagon is in my future at some point I feel 🤩
My congratulations!Great purchase!Great car!Wish you good luck 🍀
Thank you!
Been waiting for this mate!!!!
I literally just finished the edit and posted it! 😅
I’m Dancing like a little kid watching this Ben, you are living the Dadcar dream.
Ah thanks man!! I love that so many are along for the ride now! 🙌😊
Ben over the moon for you always a highlight of my weekend man and just as always a great up lifting vid that makes me feel good about my 23 year old CL500. Made an old man happy and locking onto Lu’s channel what a top cat❤🎉🎉
Thanks man! I’ve heard great things about the CL500 🙌😊
With the new car world going insane on price and safety features, things like this make me smile. This is the greatest era of cars, just sold my 2019 AM Vantage… time to get shopping!!
Your enthusiasm is brilliant!
love this ben. you have the sense of entertainment and charisma that really makes this work. keep it up!
Ah thanks man I’m just so happy we’ve got a growing number of people who enjoy the channel 🙌 the bigger it gets the more exciting cars and adventures we do!
Congrats Ben! Can't wait for some snowy slides in this thing...
Great vid, happy times - enjoy your new shiney🎉
Thanks man!
Congratulations! It’s very similar to mine, including the drooping headlining! I’m looking forward to seeing how you sort that and hope you make a video about any issues you find with the interior.
I will! 🙌
