First drive

[Lobbs]

Just been for my first test drive in the T350 ..... wow!
I must say, I was little tentative at first but what a thrill - the noise, the handling, the sweaty palms and the big grin on my face when I got out ... which is still there 3 hours later.

Just need to find one with the right spec that I can buy now!

I had the same feelings after test driving my Tamora... still trying to wipe the grin off my face and I have had the car now for 2 months!!!!

Same here.

Apart from getting covered in petrol everytime I fill it up, its great!

Im not sure what the problem is with the petrol... I have seen several people complaining about it but I have not had one problem yet, although I do stop filling for a couple of seconds every 10 litres in order to let the froth die down.

The petrol issue is only with the T350s and their ball valve - Tamoras have the same system as previously used in Griffs, Chims, etc

The trick I now use with the petrol is to fill very slowly but surely. Also, I look at the fuel guage and work out how many litres it needs to make it to 50. Anything over this and it spits it back out, so as soon as the nozzle clicks off around the 50 litre total point I stop filling. I get no spitting back or clicking off if I follow these rules.

The most I have ever got into the tank is 52 litres. So a gallon less than it is supposed to take.

I found that twisting the nozzle from the 6 oclock position to between 1 and 3 stops all these problems, also when it is nearly full you can hear the air gushing out so you just slow down.
