Some measurements on the way home from work.
Ambient temperature 5 degrees. Oil at 7, water at 10.
After 7 minutes of driving on 30->50 mph roads, oil was at 30, water at 85.

Looking at changing my Chimp (see profile) to a tuscan and just saw this advert for one at £26,500 00 year red rose, 5000 miles 18" wheels full leather FTVRSH

So what are the pitfalls of a tuscan and service cost/running cost etc.

And... has anyone changed from a Chimp to a tuscan, what are your views.


Yes just done that very thing in the last week, the advice is to search this site thoroughly - agonise a lot - buy one and then realise you should have done it months ago!

Oh and then you need to tell us all about it and post pictures, oh yes the only other thing is, it's best to wear a bib when your driving it

now is a good time to buy!

I am also a Chim owner and just test drove the Tuscan S with Castle TVR Essex on Saturday...excellent drive and now have the dilemma of choosing the colour scheme before I pop down and place the order!

Any views? I am tempted at the Cascade (although expensive..it looks incredible!)...do I go for a dark 'mean' colour or a bright colour. My concern is that if it has a cascade or chameleon colour scheme will it attract the idiot who finds it cool to key the side of the car while I'm not looking, will it bring unwanted attention to the car which I assume will get many looks anyway.

My view is just do it and enjoy it....any views guys?

I stroke it, caress it, warm it up, get the old lubrication going, then the TUSCAN comes out!!, she loves it, I think!!
