Since we decided not to move abroad on a permanent basis but to stay in England we've rationalised the fleet a bit and decided to spend less time working and more time enjoying ourselves (which doesn't really square with Jon being in Columbia ATM ) so...
It's time for a new car and, having seen a deep blue one near Carsington today (anyone we know ?) I wanna Tuscan !
Any recommendations re: spec, dealership etc. gratefully received. What sort of lead time should I expect (It'd be nice to be able to play with it over the summer) or should I go for a used one ? Nice orange one on HHC's website - good plate too Is a used one likely to have had the problems sorted ?

What models are there ? (I'm going to go up to HHC tomorrow and I don't want to look a complete muppet.) Is the S the 'standard' model ?

Worthwhile wander round HHC. They seem to have sold the orangina coloured one on the website (T1VVR anyone we know ?) I'm definitely only at window shopping stage ATM.
Haven't seen a 350 in the flesh yet. Not totally convinced from the pictures. The Tuscan's sheer 'what the #%&*' styling and presence appeals and I'm sure I can handle the power

Oh. Must be someone else on here, I'm sure I've seen Pektron mentioned in a thread. O/T no pedants on this thread yet (must be a first) In my original post: Colombia. Not Columbia

Was Mr Fish driving towards Little Chef roundabout at about 5-30 yesterday ? Saw a burgundy metallic sportscar I didn't recognise, your 350 ?

It wasn't a 350 either, having checked out the pix. Dunno what it was
