Well I am just about to get on the plane here in Edinburgh and fly to Exeter to pick up my Tuscan after being rebuilt my Dulfords.bounce
It has had stage 2 kent cams fitted and one of their new oil pumps as well as all of the oil mods.

I have a 433 mile journey back home this afternoon so this should start to bed the engine in. biggrin

You should have given me a shout, I would have taken you down to Dulfords from the airport. Oh well.

Enjoy the journey.

Thanks for the offer. Richard from Dulfords picked me up. What a drive. Had a few teething probs with a loose connection but apart from that a long drive. Luckily i missed all the traffic too.

Nick will be round to yours soon for a look see.

Believe me, you won't be dissappointed. Well worth the travel down to Dulfords. 12,000 miles on from my 4.0L upgrade/rebuild by Richard at Dulfords.

What can I say - just awesome.

Glad you have your car back did you see my Tamora down there? It's been there 2 weeks.

Yup saw yours down there. Love the colour. Think it had a big sign on it about a radiator. They certainly have a few Tivs down there. Also have a stunning GT40 in gulf livery . I was like a wee boy in a sweet shop.

Hope your pleased with your car my Tamora's at Dulford at the mo just having a couple of upgrades nothing serious, but they are a top garage with top staff who are willing to explain everthing,as for the GT40 i'm 6'0'' and found it uncomfortable to sit in with the pedals on the gimp with your legs, and the front roll bar in your eye line, i recon you need to be 5'6'' max to be able to fit in and control it, having said that Clarkson had one(how he fitted in his must have been sitting on the floor pan)still would'nt swop it for a TVR.

Clarkson fitted in because he had a ford GT and not a GT40. The subtle difference between the new and the old one is that a ford GT is 43 inches high and the ford GT40 is only 40 inches high.
