New Tuscan Owner

[demon_jako]

Hi Folks,

Just thought it was about time I posted something.

Had my Tuscan for about two weeks now.

Had a great time last weekend driving from leicester to Buxton just for the hell of it

What I find funny is how many people say Tuscans are loud or try and make them louder with CCCs and decats
I part-ex'd my Cobra for this and I'm quite glad to get away from the noise!
Don't get me wrong, the sound of a big block V8 is great! But it gets a bit much after several miles!

So far, I've had to fix the screen washers and the heating/aircon goes off and on with every bump in the road!

Plan to replace the LCD screen once I've got some readies together (and the wife stops checking the account for money spent on more 'toys' )

Other than that, I'll get out and about again as soon as I can

Cheers

Paul

Welcome to the world of Tuscans.
A great choice.

Engine was rebuilt at 28000 and clutch slave was replaced at same time.

EG Meal with relations etc, etc

Oh well.

Hi,

Its actually a very dark blue, I've still got the owners
manual etc which has the colour code in it so I'll have a look tonight.

Does look black most of the time though!

Well you could loan it to me this weekend as I have to take my daughter back to Uni, there's always been too much baggage to take my Tuscan, and the opportunity this weekend as my missus wants a bit of relaxation Sunday morning, really annoys me, as I still haven't got round to fixing my leaky clutch system.
As it is now confirmed that it has been a small leak for quite some years now, and I could get a bit more driving before I gotta get it properly fixed, ie, before the summer. It's just that spare time is non existant at the moment.
Enjoy it as much as I've done and you'll be a VERY contented chappy, I even managed to get the nose of it in this months Sprint, when visiting the Central Scotland meet at Menstrie.

Regards,

James Sim.
