cheers dude and gl with the Tuscan
Yeah, just sold the P1. Was a great car, never missed a beat in 3 years, the only problem I had was 1 dead shocker. Suppose Id just got a bit used to it really, well into my cars and after 3 years just fancied a change! To be honest Im not a massive fan of the newer Subarus, they just seem like family cars with a powerful engine. The classic Subarus weigh less than the new clio sport - Thats what its all about for me!! Would def recommend a P1 tho, dont be put off by the engine blow ups - look after it and it will do the same for you!
If the TVR is 50% as good as the P1 Ill be very happy!!!
Cheers!!

thast what im thinking 
Nice choice dude 
Well Im sort of telling a lie! The car is a plain old Tuscan but has had a warranty rebuild to red rose spec. So its only really the engine thats been upgraded.
Hope it doesnt cost me a fortune!!!! 
we are simply refering to colour thast silver you said red
or is that a model or sumit

6 months or 7,500 miles altho I never really did more than about 2,000 between servicing tho!!! Would keep it less than 7,500 myself.

Yeah, you can get a red rose in any colour! Its just a brake, engine and suspension upgrade!

Well hopefully cos mines had the rebuild done already, in the 10,000 miles or so Ill own it, it shouldnt need doing again. There will be hundreds of other little niggles but hey, all good fun!!!
If it breaks, Ill fix it!

i'm ssure the car is emense to drive and all that but i think it looks ugly as sin...
thats the thing with newer tvrs... you either love them or hate them(the look of them)
if i seen it on the road it would certainly turn my head though
many happy days of motoring
p.s did you not say that the RWDness of your s14a frightened the crap out of you? is a tvr (WITH NO TC!) really the car for you?

Oh yeah the RWD'ness thing does scare me! The problem with the S14a was that it was an every day car so it saw all weathers. It was only ever in the wet that it used to try to kill me!
Basically the other day my mate had his new Ferrari 612 delivered and he let me have a go. It was just a very different car to the Subaru and I fell in love with the whole RWD supercar thing. Im in no way comparing a TVR Tuscan to a 612 but for the money I dont think there is another car like it performance wise.
Just gonna have to learn to drive again now tho cos the Scoob would get me out of some serious messes - Dont think the TVR will!
