Two weeks of Tuscan ownership and it's got to go
Discussion
I have had enough. Blinkin'TVR. I am just fed up with it. Just two weeks I have had the Tuscan and its got to go. On the back of just two weeks experience, I can report that I am utterly fed up with:
Feeling desperate for the weekend to arrive (and praying for the sun to be out) so I can drive the thing.
Feeling desperate for the weekend to arrive (and praying for sun to be out) so I can get up early to wash and polish the thing.
Everyone staring at the car as they drive by (or are driven past)
Young boys sticking their thumbs up, whistling, waving and saying (inter alia) "your car is the wickedest (sic) car in the world mate".
Girls waving, smiling and flirting. (And believe me, it is the car that attracts them, not the driver.), particularly in front of their boyfriends (who usually do the same thing).
Bikers giving me respect and thumbs up.
The sound of the Speed Six at 4,000rpm plus.
The sound of the Speed Six on the over-run.
People winding windows down to hear the Speed Six (or urging for said Speed Six to be revved)
The Chameleon blue paintwork
People pointing and asking about the Chameleon blue paintwork
No-one looking at or enquiring after the gorgeous Aston Martin DB7 or beautiful Porsche 996 parked at adjacent petrol pumps but just the TVR
Blasting down a country road with the top off and the window out
otherwise, blasting down a country road with the top on and the window in.
The gorgeous cabin
I could go on...
...Thanks Peter Wheeler and all at TVR for doing what you do.
Amen.

Couple of weeks ago I followed a AM Vanquish (gorgeous car and sound) for about 4 miles, everybody was stareing at the cerb.

Hee hee hee! The look on this Porker owners face when he saw everyone looking at the Tuscan! Priceless. He came over and said (as they all tend to in that smug-Porsche owner way) "they're great cars TVR, when they work of course". To which I said "Yep, sure are. I am more than happy with it. And so, judging by the looks on other people's faces, is everyone else".
Pass it over for a free two year full evaluation to someone who'll put up with all the problems!
