It is exactly one month to the day since I picked up my (first!) Tuscan. Here's a snippet of what you have to look forward to:

When you start it up, you grin. When you drive off, you grin wider. When you hear the bangs and pops on the over run, you laugh like a maniac. Everyone wants to go for a spin in it. Every time you drive it, you grin from ear to ear. When you park up, people take photo's of it. When you meet another owner, they're full of praise and advice - real friendly bunch.

All in all, it's the most fun you can possibly have. I've grinned more in the last 4 weeks than previously in the whole of my life! I really hope your experience in it turns out like mine!

Enjoy!

Great choice, I no longer have my Tuscan as I needed back seats for the kids, I loved it while I had it though. I would reccomend getting Carbon Can Company rear cans fitted if not already on as the pops and bangs and the additional grunt make it sound as good as it looks.

PS I have a speed six Cerbera now smokin
