Could you possibly use english when posting, this isn't an SMS forum.

Mike, Sorry I hadn`t replied to your message but have been away on hols for a week and only just returned. Yes I`m afraid the Griff went in the end - it was a hard choice but the missus found the Griff hard to drive and preferred the Chimaera, and in all honesty I think I do as well - just easier to use in every department!!

The Tuscan is a beastie and I love it to pieces and the wife is too scared to drive it so all is well!!

All the best
Neal.

Excellent news bear - give us a few more details - colour and interior etc - and where are you based - I see room 58 are in Sunbury - are you local or further afield?? Are you using the car every day or just weekends and evenings and any other moment you can!!

All the best

Thanks for the interest guys.

Working on photos at the moment will post you the url -think I should pull the stops out and build a micro web site.

Just to set the scene, the car is Iced Titanium, big alloys with red brake callipers.Fitting the Tuscan S front spolier at the moment - interior is mad two tone leather Scarlet Red and Black it also has red suede roof lining and inset panels on the doors, carpets are black with red leather piping. The carpet also features in the boot which looks stunning.

The stereo has been upgraded to a top Kenwood system, huge amp big sub and 2 sets of MB Quart speakers - which are wicked and handle the power well!

Don't meen to show off but the car looks great

Will post more details later

The Bear

Ps. The speed wobble is no longer a problem - the wheels were unbalanced and the dealer fixed it immediately.

Sounds cool !

Did your dealer say if there was any benefit of fitting the S front spoiler without the rear spoiler ?
I had heard you needed both spoilers fitted for it to provide the correct downforce. Who is your dealer as I also heard that TVR would not retro fit the S spoiler kit ?

Cheers

My dealer ( Hawthorns) are looking into the technical aspects for me - no benefits for front only, I don't like the back spoiler although this would greatly improve downforce.

bye for now

Sorry Steve (Tuscan_S)

We haven't had the time yet (cobblers shoes!! and all that) too busy at the moment - currently working on a web site proposal for a car manufacturer and we are all maxed out.

Good news - the S front spoiler should be fitted next week.

Still enjoying the Tuscan ride - although yesterday made a booboo - didn't realise the air con was on, we had the roof off and the ac was fighting the heat of the day, subsequently the vents got so cold - condensation built up around them, this then ran back down the pipes and dribbled out under the dash!!!

Two things to report here - firstly I won't do that again and - secondly I guess the ac works much better in the later model cars - with or without the roof.

Speak to you soon
