WOOHOO - New Mota(s)

[the-gofer]

Yesterday my Dad and I drove down the A1 to pick up his SEAC. Had a quick spin in it myself yesterday. One word - WOW!

And today, I just (finally) picked up a Rolex Blue 2001 Tuscan from HHC - Totally fantastic. Grins-a-plenty.

Pity I have to work today. Could do with playing out really.

Will get some photos when it stops raining.

Congratulations on the new car(s). I hope you enjoy them !

Thanks Bob.

I'm busy compiling a little niggles list at the moment. But the only thing that drove me mad driving home was the sqeuaky rear window. I know how to stop the roof squeaking (vaseline) but how do I stop the window doing it?

Congratulations on the cars!

s'easy... drive it down a German a-road at 130mph and it'll blow out... hey presto, no more squeaks!

Seriously - make sure the catches are good and tight cos that's exactly what happened to one of the Tuscans last week.

sticky backed velcro, the softer side, stuck on the window where it fits into the frame. Voila, no more squeaking.

[the-gofer]

Thanks all. Hmm, velcro, cunning. I think I'll have to take a drive out and go looking for a branch of Sticky Backed Velcro R Us - with a little luck I'll be gone for some time....

Great news can't wait to see them both

Hello it's your dad here - thought I'd better check out what you get up to all night in your room alone....guess who's got the sticky backed velcro that you need (well that's what dads are for, right???).

Come downstairs and talk to me if you like (if I've not sneaked out with the Tuscan keys.....)

[stainless_steve]

Hi Chris,
Hope you will come and say hi to the Wedge guy's

Cheers, Steve. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the next meet (10th? This weekend?). I will, however, be at Cars in the Park III - and I'll try and drag his lordship over as well...

Gordon super stud and general man-about-town extraordinaire gets well and truly rumbled!

It's no good having a car that'll pull the ladies if you've got a dad with a wedge at home waiting to show 'em what a proper V8 sounds like

Spotted !!! your Tuscan Gordon, on Sunday

Now you have started to worry, I might add that I had my nose pressed up against the window at HHC, saying cor, one day, when I grow up, I'll have one of those !

Looked very nice in the showroom, hope to see it soon on the road.

Slinky, how're things going? Saw your thread about the dragster a while back - it certainly appears that you are still alive and well, so I am assuming you haven't had it running at any speed yet

p.s. Surprised I'm not getting dissed for ditching the V8... Sacrilege! Next time I am due to be darn sarf I'll have to take a (small) detour - seems a small distance to go for bacon sarnies!

All good fella, the dragster is coming on well, chassis is complete, just about ready to drop the engine back in... (it's looking VERY very nice!)

Although she/we love V8's she's rather fond of the Tusc so I'm sure she'll make a concession on this one!!

If you are down this way, you're more than welcome to stop by, Mrs S's bacon sarnies can be rustled up in no time at all!!

Ah. YHM.

Anyone wanting a well looked after, highly polished , reliable, beautiful Chimaera 450 need look no further than HHC.

On the Tuscan driving experience I'm ashamed to say I'm still a bit scared of it. I took it out for a quick blast yesterday evening, in the rain , found a nice bit of dual carriage-way and was about to give it some full throttle for the first time when I noticed a new M3 planted in the left hand ditch after the roundabout at Ben Rhydding. Needless to say I chickened out, thinking better of the damp and leafy road surface! Thankfully, it looked like the driver was OK as another car had stopped nearby and everyone was milling about chatting.
