sold

[gr4eme]

It’s on my driveway but it’s sold. My beloved W-plate Tuscan has just been sold. I'm very sad and so is Steph. But it needed to go, job redundancy and wedding next year couldn't justify the capital sitting on the drive. I've sold it to a RAF jet navigator, top bloke who saw three and choose mine because of the colour combination (Tahiti blue and full grey Portland hide). Saying that there are a lot of stone chips on the front and a nasty one on the boot. I've had some great times in it and hope to return to TVR ownership in the near future. Just a little thanks to everyone who has help me get through the little niggles - don’t you just love them.
I looked really good trying to get in the other day - much to the laughter and giggles of about 5-8 kids. Went to the petrol station, the usual jaw drops and nudging going on, paid for the petrol, went back to the car driver’s door wouldn't open. Round to the passenger door - opens no problem. Once inside hit the interior door button for the driver’s door - door opens, try and lean over to make sure it doesn’t shut and lock, my great big ass hanging out of the car, to much laughter of the crowd. Then round to the driver’s door, got in a bit flustered and drove off + stalled it exiting the petrol station. Great what a tit I looked. Any one else had embarrassing moments they would like to share – to cheer me up on this sad day.

Like the time I picked mine up from its first MOT, noticed that I was down to about 8 litres of fuel so drove down the road to a very busy petrol station forecourt....and in sight of a dozen of more pairs of eyes...could not get into the boot?

Sorry to hear that its going...but trust you will still haunt the forum as an 'in between' owner.

Sorry to hear that Graeme, great car & I can vividly remember the sound effects of trying to keep up with you joining the M62 on the Fezza run! (seems a long time ago now).

cheers guys

Martyn we will have to go for a beer soon - -after diet allows (see spotted thread on yorks forum)
Tuscan is now gone - gutted although I hope its not the one spotted on a lowrider on the A1). New owner gets the use of his runways most Sundays for free!!!
He came to collet it in his full pilot gear - Steph nearly jumped in the passenger seat as he drove off - bad girl, bad girl!!!

Sorry to hear you had to let the car go Graeme, hope things start to look up in the very near future.

You'll still have to come along to some of the events while you're 'in-between' Tiv's!

Sorry to hear that you have let it go.....

I had a similar experience, I was taking my little girl for a run and could not get the seat belt on for the return trip. Kept locking, I was struggeling to release it... pulling slowly ..... tugging it..... feeding it back and forth but could not get it to release so that I could strap her in. People watch all round. In the end had to shove my hand down into the car body to release it, lost skin etc. Fastened my nagging daughter in and staggered round to the drivers door hot & sweaty, blod dripping from my right hand and drove off. Not so cool.....
