Got my used tuscan s on friday and what a day this car is amazing in every shape and form.I had a gtoTT (350bhp) which i thought was quick but its not even close,when you get a motorbiker on a 900r pulling up next to you after you have just desroyed it,and saying wat the hell (not really the word he used but i am new)is that, you then realise wat you have bought!!
the best moment on friday was when mike(castle) asked if i wanted to see my new car that had just been valeted (moonraker black) and fitted with the sports cans, all i could do was smile...post pics soon steve

What colour interior did you go for? I'm currently speccing out my S at the moment (Moonraker black as well).

Congrats stinders!

You, me and ehasler should make a show at Mid-Essex meet in convoy! I'm currently the only 'S' at the moment there (got a lot of attention on Sunday)...good to have a few more

Think the T350 will be more common then our 'S'! The number of new T350's the factory were working on when I visited on the 14th Feb...was unbelievable!

Hey...so long as no one copies my spec

Congrats on a great motor .....however how does a Tuscan S with only 400 miles(ie not run in and not MEANT to be revved above 3k) blow away a bike ?? Are we being a little 'enthusiastic' with the run in revs Steve or with the story telling ??

That's why I was asking how many miles he had done!
BE CAREFUL AND DON'T THRASH IT TOO EARLY!

You need at least 1,000+ miles before you start taking this pi$$ out of bikes!

Please don't tell me you thrash it the second you turn on the engine??!

I'm interested how you think a Tuscan S with a 0 - 60 time of approx 4 seconds can beat any 750/900/1000cc sports bike which typically post 0-60 times in the 2.8 - 3 seconds area and standing 1/4 mile times of around 10.5 seconds?

If you're giving it full stick after only 400 miles expect an engine rebuild at around 7000 miles.

We don't all rev the nuts off and drop the clutch. 0-60 means fcuk all these days. It's the in gear times that count!

I kept up with a Yam 400RR (just!) as he was pretty handy round the bends and I was two up with full fuel and the roof off!

The original post stated that it was a used S, and i would hazard a guess that HE has done 400 miles, correct me if i'm wrong ??
