Positive Tuscan string
Discussion
First posting on p.h so be gentle! Just got back from 2500 mile trip to Italy... car was just faultless and there were a few times it wasn't just cruising!!! I started reading p.h about a month after buying my Tuscan and in a way glad I did because so many people have had serious issues I honestly think I would have been put off. The car was/is just awesome for everything from reliability- 4 hours inching up the approach to the St Gothard tunnel in 40 degrees. Performance- a MAD drive with an audi on the autostrada when he heard me change down at 125 and realised I hadn't been trying as hard as he was (a German who spoke good English). Reaction- well where do you start in Italy? the kids leaning out of their car at 60 to take pictures with camera phones, the car parked up but getting more attention than a parade of Ferrari's. And the service from Castle TVR in Essex for not slamming the phone down when I phone for the tenth time panicking the oil had reached 90 degrees. Excuse the ramble but I waited 4 years to buy the car I wanted more than any other and felt that anybody thinking to buy a Tuscan should read how truly great they can be. That's it I'm retiring now!!

Well done John, enjoy the car, they are crazy machines. I took my Tuscan Redrose to France and opened her up, just a joy...
Dont know if you have been invited to the Mid Essex Meet or know of it, but there is a meet just outside Maldon every 2nd sunday of the month, being this Sunday...
Yellow Peril is the RO, and I think there is a sticky on the general TVR page...
