I've had my new Tuscan for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it. Found it very exhilerating with the roof off for the first time at the weekend. Jealous/curious looks from other convertible drivers (not many Tuscan's here in NI).

I treated it to its first polish on Saturday and noticed that the drivers door sits out quite a bit from the sill/flank at the bottom whereas the passenger side is nice and flush. Is this just a little build quality issue? It's flush fitting at the top, but I found it a little 'sticky' when it had been left in the sun which must have let the door expand slightly. Caramel doors eh? Just hope all the fish fingers in the engine are of the frozen variety

It's Logik's old 2002 demo wagon in GTS Blue Pearl, reg SK02 OWX, so please own up if you nobbled it on a test drive/track or have any history. No sign of repair that I can see.

Managed to get a touchup pencil from my local Chrysler dealer since it's a Viper colour as there are a couple of chips (to accompany the fish fingers).

Err....they all do that sir. Drivers-side door drop seems to happen to most TVRs at some stage - your dealer should be able to fix it. My old Griff had this adjusted a couple of times, and the Tuscan shows slight signs but not worth bothering with until the service.
