Another Day of TVR Woe
Discussion
I went to take the Tuscan for its first run in 6 weeks and I am sad to say that it started first time, I've driven 100 mils and nothing has fallen off, I didn't die when I sneezed and a young woman at the petrol station told me the car is gorgouse and that she wanted to have sex with me there and then.
Ok so the sex bit is an exageration but the rest is true.
Who says TVR's are un reliable!

My Tuscan hadn't moved for 8 weeks and on Hogmanay I had had enough and decided since it was sunny I would take it to work.
Started first time, idled perfectly, no error codes, nothing, it was running perfectly. How peculiar, in fact after a year of ownership it hasn't needed a penny spent on it except for new seat backs and a new boot badge.
Maybe it's a good un that needs hanging on to.

Did exactly the same on NYE. Popped over the border to Bristol as Mrs MoJo wanted to go to Crib s Causeway shopping, took the Griff as it was dry. Spent an hour or so shopping, headed for home, dropped off swmbo and went for a good 2 hr blast around some great local roads. It was bliss after not driving it for about 4 weeks So much so it's only just been cleaned up and put away again, 2 days later than planned !!
Yep, a long itch has finally been scratched again!
The car has been outside (under a cover and on an Optimate) since the beginning of November. Started first time and easily kept on idle. No grabbing brakes or nasty noises. Took a while to warm up from 1 degrees oil temp and the only "code" was the frost one (3 degrees so at least it is accurate!).
Same as above, the roads that look dry are still slippy but seemed to make lots of people smile around the area.
Back home safe - another day off tomorrow!!

Took mine out today into Gloucester, the wife wanted something so did the only decent thing.
Only thing that went wrong was I needed some fuel, bloody TVR's!!! A woman was asking whose car it was, and the assistant was looking at me, so I keep quiet in case she was a Boxster driver. When I got outside she was looking at the car and asking if it was a Corvette, when I told her it was a Tuscan she asked if she could take a photo and send it to her son.
Bloody amazing car.......
Now starting to get the hand of drifting on the throttle with it still being a bit damp...
