Well I say finally, I was only meant to be buying one in Spring. Couldn't wait any longer though.

Just got back from the long drive home. Loving it so far but treading very carefully. Spent the first 2 hrs of the journey stuck in traffic and only travelled 4 miles in that time. Was worried about it overheating but no
problems.

Did have a code L flash up a couple of time briefly. I assume this is nothing to worry about like the others?

A few niggles to sort which will keep me busy but nothing major. It's in GTS Viper blue which was at the top of the list for me. Certainly grabs peoples attention.

I'm sure I'll have many more questions along the way.

Thanks. I can't keep myself out of it at the moment. I keep making up excuses just to nip out.

I need to work out how to post pics.

I know that feeling. Booked the company car into the garage for some work. 'Need a courtesy car sir', 'no thank you, I'll make do'

Even offered to go Christmas shopping tomorrow night, as long as I can take the Tuscan.......

mmm...I find it's a bit of a love/hate relationship with mine. When all is fine I smile like a loon but when niggles and gremlins start it's another story. Would I sell it...hell no!!!

I have a different view, I actually like making it better and don't mind if it gives me a few problems. I do find myself listening to the engine a lot, I am sure it needs a rebuild but I have no reference point. Will need to meet up with a few people to compare.

Thanks, I'll sort the photo's out tomorrow.

Although it's ridiculouly quick, I'm finding I don't really need to put my foot down. I seem to be smiling more listening to the pops & bangs (it has decat pipes). Smiling now just thinking about it!

They seem to get quite a bit of attention too. Love it!!

I know what you mean, I think is "Speed Six Paranoia" Sometimes I think mine needs a rebuild, but it had one done 1000 miles ago with a a 5 year warranty. I think they are just noisy engines, especially when cold

Thanks for the comments.

Going to keep it pretty much as it is I think. I was toying with the idea of an 'S' splitter & spoiler but not decided yet. It has decat pipes already.

I think the anthracite wheels would suit
it so I'll have those done at some point.
Yours looks very nice Hotwheels.

It's booked in Track v Road at the weekend for a service & a couple of bits sorting - oil pressure sender, new anderson connector. Hope it's not raining!!

Much prefer that steering wheel to the one in my Tuscan 2.

Lovely looking car!

Mk 1 Tuscan is one of the great looking cars. As your pics prove.

and that's from a Mk2 owner!
