Hi

Collected my Tuscan the other week and looking to get the wheels in for a refurb asap. Anyone know of any others that fit or if anyone has a set of wheels i could borrow for about 5 days or so to save the car sitting on axle stands would be most appreciated

Thanks
Foz

I'll give you a call, have 4 Cerb wheels at home, not sure if they would do for a few days.

I've got 8 x 16" Cerbera wheels & tyres in Westhill if that's closer to you. If you are local I can drop them off.

Richard, How is the Gris? Spoke to Noel today and he filled me in. Everyone okay? Was he trying to keep up with the 440R?

'Gris is being repatriated after being double ended coming out of a service station 1 hr from Calais on the way to Le Mans. I was in the T440R with Jane, she saw it in the rearview mirror.
Lost it on a corner in 2nd.
Min. £10k worth of damage, assuming the chassis hasn't taken a twist.
The fibreglass punched in both ends, and mostly bounced back out, but split and bu55ered.
Radiator etc smashed and pushed into the front bars, exhaust and rear pan mashed.
Not a happy bunny, but we just got on with it and made the best out of the weekend.
Very helpful like-minded bunch gave the boys lifts to Le Mans, and sorted again on the way back.
The car was picked up and with a Green Flag registered garage within an hour and a half.

Waiting to hear.

Really sorry to hear that Richard. It should come back as good as new though.

Will be in touch when Noel finally finished Cerbie 2. Latest estimate is 30th June - fingers crossed there are no more problems fitting the gauges. Hopefully I'll have a photo of how they look soon.

Take it easy in the T440R the roads seem to be really greasy just now for some reason. Even getting the TC light on in the Disco.....

Sorry to hear about that too. I never saw the car in the flesh, but it looked very very nice in the photos. I trust no-one was hurt...apart from pride and in the wallet

Best of luck getting it all back together again.
