purple/blue Tuscan on M1

[kevin63]

Tuscan as above, joined four of us on the M1 for a while when we was on our way to Donnington Park.

[peekay6]

That was me! Never normally see other TIV's when I venture down the motorway and then there was four of you! Result. Good trip tp donnington?

[kevin63]

Nice car, looked in my mirror and saw a purple Tuscan, then when you past us it was a blue Tuscan, what colour is it.
I like it.

[peekay6]

It's a lotus colour - Azure Blue but it depends on the how it's catching the light as it's got a purple tint to it. Looks better clean though!

Hows it going Rob??

[peekay6]

Hey Tony,

It's pretty good - had a few annoying niggles, but they're worth it. How's the Tam?

Rob

[T66ORA]

Yep Tam is fine, getting on with it a bit more now, it was just a culture shock after the brutality of the Tuscan, although the Tuscan (well certainly "our" one)is quicker in a straight line the Tam probabily has the edge point to point, what niggles are you encounting? (probabily the passenger door again??)

[peekay6]

Yeah passenger door dropped on the hinges and the window still doesn't go up on it's own. Most irrtiating thing was one of the rear indicators playing up - it worked when it wanted which made driving that much more interesting. Replaced the battery and got a new LCD display as you suggested and other than that it's been brilliant.

Roof off over the summer was incredible as before I wasn't really fussed by convertibles but I am a convert. It's brutally quick and I'm still scared of it.

It gets a lot of comments and interest about the new grill that you put on. Makes it stand out from the crowd!!!!

Glad you got used to the Tam - they sound better than the tuscan for some reason.

Ah,, rear indicator drivers side?..dropped off one day while driving along, got a mate to solder a wire back on and then we glued it back together, loose wire in there again??

[peekay6]

That's the one - the newer tuscans indicators are screwed in to stop that happening. Took it to a sparky and got him to sort out some dry solder and fix the loose wires. The problem was that as it was summer I didn't have the rear screen in and couldn;t tell if the indicator was working or not

ahh well the joy's of TVR's

[IVANHOE]

Hi peekay6, I was the one at the back of the four tiv's on the M1. I Must say I was surprised to see another TVR closing in on us. As you say it's not often you see another TVR and then 4 come along. I too like the colour of your Tuscan, and we had an excellent day at Britcars at Donington.

[peekay6]

Yeah I've done that journey a few times now and I think thats the first time I've see other TVR's. i got told off by the other half for being too excited at seeing you all
