well I've had the tusc for 1 week, left for cornwall on picking her up from Fernies and have done 800 miles recieved the CCC cans yesterday and fitted this morning. It really was a 5 min job, and it sounds bloody wonderful. Just insured her with Tesco for £499 so age does have some compensations (but not many) Just need to make an appointment with the doc to have the permanant grin removed.

Nice one Alan !
I've had mine for 3 months now and very nearly 2000 miles on the clock. No problems, just a necessary service as the previous one was 12 months before and it had the MOT at the same time.

The doc won't be able to help . If he does manage to remove it, it will come straight back the next time you get in the car

Happy

Some pictures would be appreciated Alan. Looks a fantastic colour.
As Mike probably mentioned, I come along Sunday hoping to get a good look at it. Did you go for colour matched cans or stainless??

Just stainless, as they suit the colour. I tried to get back in time on Sunday but was enjoying myself too much coming back from Cornwall with a Porker GT2 christ those things can shift
Mark, pop round Simon knows the address.

I'm not back until the weekend. Have got to pop into Fernys first thing Saturday as I had 'EFI Fault' appear on the screen last weekend. After talking to then they don't think it's anything major but best be safe.

thanks Graham, have to say it would not be my first choice of colours (but I'm getting to like it more) that would be Purple Paradise but I bought it on the spec (RR) and general condition and "feeling" I had test drove a few but this one seemed to be much better in some way.
I've just got the new log book back and it's listed as a Tuscan S!
