I've just traded my Griff in for a 2000 Tuscan.I am sure there are other mods available/required but mine has had the obligatory engine rebuild/mods,door opening mods(buttons on radio pod)mirror control mods and instrumentation software upgrade.Pick it up next week just hope it does'nt break my heart as the Griff was a great car but just had to have a Tuscan after test driving.

Hector, Have you got the 18 or 16 inch wheels. the debate seems to rage as to which ones are most suitable (looks vs drivability) Did you experience "tramlining" on your test drive ?

Dougie, I have got the 18" wheels because they look awesome.I drove another Tuscan shod with 16" wheels and I feel it is worth the slightly lumpier/harder ride for the looks alone.After reading/listening to the tramlining problems with 18"wheels I was pleasantly surprised when I drove the car.The Tuscan with 16" looks good but with 18" it looks menacing!Roll on next week!

Guys, Have you picked them up yet ? Are they everything you thought they would be? I'm still thinking about upgrading my Chimp (which has been fab and totally reliable) to a Tuscan.

Dougie, Yeap the beast is in the garage. It turns like the QE2, the air con smells like cat piss, the radio goes crackley when I indiacte and I have wind noise on the drivers window. but it is THE BEST car I have EVER driven, beats the cerbera 4.5 hands down. So precise and easy to drive and the power just keeps on coming, idels in traffic and pootles when neccessary but fires and roars at will, totally impratical. A car is good if it askes to be driven... The Tuscan Beggs, answers your question???
