Although 3rd is something else as well.......yep picked up the Tuscan today, will get some pics on here tomoz.

After 4 hours of fidgeting whilst waiting around in London for my not so 'express' bank transfer to go through, i got the keys.

250 miles, 4 hours and a hell of a lot of 'hoooooning it' down the M4 and across some lovely minor roads, i got home. Then took it out for another couple of hours!!

That acc pedal is amazing, the travel is unique, kinda makes it easier to use around town i think. But when you get it over half way......my eyes start rattling around in my head!!! Mind bogglingly quick.

Didnt realise just how loud it was untill i got out to open the garage, oh my think i might get some complants...no ccc's for me its thunderous enough!!

Luckly ive got the rest of the week off so will be terrorising the local area for the next 4 days!!

Cool, enjoy it! Any pics?

Don't get too carried away with it until you're properly used to it though. When they bite, they bite hard and fast!

Sage advice! Be careful at all times and you'll be ok.

I'll second that. I said exactly the same thing about the standard set up on my T350. I got it back last week with the JP back box on and what a transformation!!

I'll also re-iterate what has been said above about taking it easy. In the dry I can easily light up my rears in 1st & 2nd, it only takes a small damp patch to kick you out and when they bite they are very quick to do so! Just get used to it gradually and whatever you do don't rag it in the wet!

Lit up the rears in first today. Hit the go pedal, thought thats revving pretty quick, then the back stepped out a few foot to the nearside!!! No probs getting it back on track though, just kept the power on and straightened her up...:-) Was a bit of an eye opener though...no intention of doing anything other than pootling around when it rains.....
