If Ted will allow it and you guys want it, I would be pleased to do a brief monthly report on running my new 'S' over the next 12mths. This would include mileage, handling, faults, performance etc, warts and all. If a prob occurs I will report it and how its dealt with. (no naming of dealer). I think it could be a useful insight without all the heresay and rumour. Really its up to you. If no-ones interested I wont bother. If I get a positive response, I will post here at the end of each month and be happy to answer queries.
Over to you I guess !!

PS did I tell you I LOVE MY CAR!!!!!

I would also be interested. I have always tried to keep the my Tuscans history up to date under my profile to give others an indication of running cost etc although I have not included the small issues that sometime occur, but a full running report would be very good.

The new car looks really good although in the pictures the colour looks a bit like your previous one is there much of a difference in the flesh between Crystal Topaz & Spectaflare (SP) Topaz?

Hi Nick,
Yeah 'Lakes' pics are brill but due to cloud for the last week do not show the difference. My latest colour is darker, and boy does it transform in sunlight or on a gge forecourt. Dont worry as soon as conditions allow I will bore the a**e of everyone with her 'butterfly mode'

I'll check with Ted, but I may even be able to give it a sticky!

How does that sound?

I'd love your sticky, Al . So sorry you and Miggsie (sp) couldnt make it last week. Hope she is well on the way to full recovery with her eyes. Won't say too much as personal, but hope to catch up with you both soon.
Love to both
Di xx

Think this is a great idea. Guess we will be waiting another 6 months for our Tuscan II convertible so understanding your experiences will be great.

Great idea Di.

I'm ordering mine straight after Christmas for March delivery.

Can't decide on a colour.

May I suggest: Reflex charcoal, cream leather, anth. alloys.

Best combination for a Tuscan, ever.

Great news Paul.
I love Reflex Charcoal, my second choice. It is very popular, so maybe a more rarer colour might suit.
Whatever, it will, I am sure be gorgeous.

The trouble is I love the Tahiti blue with cream that I have at the moment and haven't seen anything I like more. But I don't want to have the same again and I fancy black leather. (Ooh er missus.)

When I bought the 350, TMS had an Tuscan 'S' in which was Halycon ? Yellow, with mainly black interior (yellow highlights).

Looked amazing in the metal (website pictures did it no justice).

My Reflex Charcoal MK2 S is due next week (fingers crossed) and has a black interior with insets in very dark green and dark green stitching - will post pictures if it would help?

Ok'
I have seen enough positive replies to do my reports, thanks to all for the support. The 1st will be at the end of Dec when the car will be a month old and should be run in. I honestly hope it will convince the doubtors of the merits of Tuscan ownership. Even if probs occur I will not hide them, but say how they were dealt with, and my reaction to them. So as they say, 'watch this space'!
