Best weekend toy?
Discussion
Recovering from an operation has given me far too much time to consider a weekend toy but after reading throgh hundreds of threads I'm more confsed than ever (although it might just be the anesthetic).
My current M3 is a superb car but just too efficient with little sense of occasion and spends most of it's time doing a 10 mile round trip commute which is a bit of a waste. Luckily I am finally in the position to have a cheap station car and a weekend toy, but what should I buy? My short list and thoughts are as follows:
Tuscan (mk1): Love the looks and targa arrangement but doesn't feel as cohesive to drive as the T350.
T350t: Again I love the looks and the driving experience but will I miss the more complete open air motoring?
Tamora: Would appear to be the perfect solution but I haven't had a chance to drive one, where are all the ones for sale in Surrey? I narrowly missed out on one in January that was for sale at Racing Green but a lucky P'Her pipped me to it (hope your enjoying it!).
Tuscan (mk2): Latest consideration, but do they warrant the extra cost over the mk1.
Exige/111r: Wrong forum I know but would be glad to hear of any experiences. These would seem to be the more sensible option (cheaper running costs) but no 4 pot can compete with a straight 6 and I need you guys to talk me out of it.
Any other suggestions gratefully received but it needs to be able to survive outside under a cover.
Which of the above is going to make me get up early on Sunday to go for a drive?
Thanks,
Jay.

Didn't see anything from the OP to say it had to be topless...I love the Cerbera but I'm after a removable roof of some description, even if it is only the targa panels of a T350. Then again, anyone know of a targa conversion for the Cerb and any advice avoiding the roll cage? I always manage to clout my head and I know that there are much taller drivers (6'2"
out there.
Griff/Chim's are still in the running, I enjoyed my previous ownership but I would like to own a newer TVR before they get too old.
The search for a Tamora continues.
