I am looking for a Tuscan at the moment, which I will use only in nice weather etc.

I am not a wild driver, but would like to enjoy the Tuscans power. I don't want to end up in a tree in the first week!

Can you guys give any tips on driving or advise on any courses which you would recommend in and around London.

www.carlimits.com - run by a chap called Andy Walsh whos an ex-Benneton F1 test driver.
The courses are held at North Wield, near Harlow and I learnt a heck of a lot in my old Chimaera. Do the full day course with 4 others and you'll have loads of 1 on 1 time.

^^^ as above. Go easy exiting bends, roundabouts etc and avoid full power until the road and all 4 wheels are straight - then grin like a maniac laugh

You will find it has loads of grip in the dry but little warning as you approach the limits (no tyre squeal etc) and will swap ends in a split second if you exceed the limits.

Enjoy wink

Another recommendation for Andy Walsh - changed the way I drive completely.

Made me realise I am not even close to being as good a driver as I thought I was!

I have not done, but intend to do, a ROSPA cse - I have heard good things.

Also get yourself to a track and do some tuition there
