My Griffith is gone long live the Tuscan!

Just moved from the Griff forum to this one as I now own a Tuscan Mk1. Had it 24 hours and so far it's a love affair. Treat me gently.

Lovely car.

Mine is not due to be delivered until the 6th May. All of this lovely weather is proving to be a touch frustrating at the moment.

Welcome to the fold.

Excellent choice of colour (admits slight bias )

I found that after an RV8 car the power delivery took some getting used to, particularly using the full travel of the throttle pedal. 85mph in second just never happenned with my RV8 powered G33.

My old car. Enjoy.

Enjoy the good weather, just looked at the forecast. Great car, if you need anything just ask.

Was that the one for sale at RG? If so, I saw it a couple of weeks ago, very nice.

Yes it was the car at RG, Iggy sat in it but never drove it. He can't drive! Which having seen him perform is perhaps a good thing. Also it's my understanding that the company in the advert don't cover TVRs or for that matter musicians! But I believe the car did go to America for the filming. Perhaps someone knows if that is true. But most important thing for me is; I love it and delight in it's difference from an equally much loved Griffith, which took me on some fantastic European adventures, track days and really fun Run What Ya Brung days at Santa Pod. The Griff will be on sale at RG, after they have fettled it, who ever buys it will have a fantastic car. Meanwhile me and the Tuscan have a joint silly smile on our faces.

Its when you red line third you think

'oh my, this is rather quick'

or even ...'jesus christ this is a bloody ballistic missle'...and when you get out it takes an hour for the adrenaline to disperse and stop shaking
