Looks sweet Alf.....are those Carbon Cans?

[Alf Essex]

These are custom designed and built for the car (although I forgot to ask Castle who makes them), they are in a titanium finish and produce the most gorgeous noise!!

No they aren't Carbon Can Co cans, they are motorbike cans.

Carbon Can Co cans look like the originals.

Simon,
I think CC make a variety of finishes, and end tips now for Tuscans. I seem to remember seeing a link to their website?

[mlumb]

i do have more pics, but i guess were on the wrong forum for this.

cars going to be painted soon so its like new,so should look even better.

[TVR5]

To Alf.

Look at the second hand on your watch. Look how SLOWLY it's going round. As for the minute and hour hand.....well they're just not moving at all are they?
That hour hands got to move miles yet before you get your new car......

Mind you when it does arrive the weather should start picking up. Took mine out for a good thrash yesterday in lovely weather. Bloody fantastic.

[Beano500]

Mean - aren't we!

How about thinking....tick...tick...tick...tick - that's 60mph you could be doing....tick...100...tick....oops you're supposed to be running it in!

[Alf Essex]

Cheers guys...go right ahead and remind me why don't you

Only 1 more day.........think I can survive but will be worrying tomorrow about the engineer who is installing my GPS tracking devise! The company that de-installed the devise from my Alfa Romeo the other week ended up breaking some of the 'plastic' surround the back seating As its a 'Tuscan' they are sending down their senior engineer to Castle to install it...I bl__dy hope he knows what hes doing

[TVR5]

Be sure to get him to remove the S.T.A.D. while he's at it. Mine came with this fitted and it was a pain before I got it removed yesterday.

Yes, whenever I went out in the Tuscan the Slow Traffic Activation Device seemed to alert all the slowest drivers, with trailers, caravans, tractors, you name it to come out onto the road. You know the sort. They dither about in front of you doing 20mph wherever they are driving, drifting across lanes, and there's no chance of overtaking 'cos there's always bends and / or lots of oncoming traffic. I'm sure it's happened more since having this particular TVR.

Oi! S.T.A.D. is still on the older Tivs too, you know

[mickrw]

Mind you the S.T.A.D. does come in useful when you are running the car in as it keeps temptation away! Enjoy
the car Alan, colour looks fantastic. Will you be at VW on the 9/3?

Mick

[Alf Essex]

Cheers Mick,

Don't really know much about 'VW' although I hear quite a bit about it...

Actually have promised Pauline our Mid-Essex RO that I will be at the meet on the 9th March....so can't make VW.

If they hold again no reason why I couldn't go along for the ride

Alan.
