Well got the Tuscan on Monday, but had to go to london with work til yesterday so didnt have chance to drive it until last night.

First impressions - Heavy clutch, instant power in any gear at any revs, hugely fast, very twitchy and tramlines a fair bit, sounds awesomes, turns loads of heads, not brilliant build quality and cant believe its shorter and narrower than the P1!!!

All in all, I love it! Couldnt live with it day to day but as a weekend weapon theres nothing like it for the money!!!

Some pics on my original thread:

P1 clutch was heavy but cos of the pedal box on the tuscan, you sort of press the clutch into the floor so its just hard to get used to!?

guy down our street has a tuscan - leaves it running outside for about 15 minutes before driving off for half an hour then leaves it running for ages again when he comes back........lovely sound if heard in short bursts but chugging away outside gets well irritating!

Exactly how 'twitchy' is it?

Have you been going for a little correction and it just twitches it's way out of danger then you nearly spank it?

Get the rear boxes just behined the carbon silencers taken out. Simple bit of pipe.

TOTALLY transforms the sound, makes it better than it already is.

To be fair Im used to the P1 so compared to that, yeah its seriously twitchy! I love it!!! To be fair tho, it was damp yesterday. I think Im just going to take my time getting used to the car before I start getting cocky!

Excellent noise TVR's i think the old rover V8's had the best sound tho, i love it when someon in a wedge decides to overtake it, doesnt matter if your 5meters or 500yards away it sounds like the end of the world

Do what daimo said ive no idea if it works, but louder is better

Haha, sounds "like the end of the world" Love it!!!!!

Thats it, it doesnt need to hammered to get enjoyment out of drivin it, another thing I wanted!!!

Insurance is about £20 cheaper a month than the P1 which is pretty cool, about £700 a year IIRC?
