I did have a spark plug fail last week...

plus, tiresome having to wait til folks have finished taking photos of the beast b4 I can put the shopping in the boot...

Worst of all, have had to resort to racing motorbikes on the autoroute to work, cos the Porsches know the Tuscan now

On the bright side, I have met a few top blokes with Tivs here and had some awesome blasts thru mountains passes!

The only problem is the time taken to fill the Tuscan with petrol. During these moments I'm afraid the car is undriveable. This is only temporary though, and the lost time can be made up on the journey ,

Im very happy with it when its going !

seriously...the pros outweigh the cons....and look on the bright side - if its just had a rebuild at least you should get a minimum of 12K trouble free miles out of it

just make sure you get a good warranty...and dont test drive unless you intend to buy it...because you wont be able to resist

Ecstatic! Would almost say it's "Orgasmic Living" (if I knew what that meant).

Definitely not - you'd probably get addicted. Nasty habit to get!

Then again - you have to stop and TALK to people about it. I mean - can't they see that you've got better things to do???

Look away now! I said LOOK AWAY!!!!!

Happy? I'm ecstatic!

The looks, the noise, the speed! If there's a better value sportscar available today I've yet to see it.

If anyone is thinking of putting a deposit on a tuscan mk2, I have a motorshow order (they raised the price by £2k after the show) which I may be looking to get rid of. I am thinking of hanging onto my Tamora.

Had mine from new & after four years and 21K miles very happy, although it's had a few up-grades over this time all for the better though

I like your river boat pic, Nic. (Oops, no pun intended)


The river boat pic actually made into Sprint a year or so ago.

So, no rebuilds? Only upgrades.


Yes it has had the cylinder head up-graded/re-built last month to 2004 'S' spec, as some of the valves had streached and the clearences were closing up after a few 'K' miles, although there was very little wear on the cam's or followers.The rest of the engine was like new.

I wonder why you have had Tuscan Nirvana?


Just look after it and treat it with a bit of respect

I'm very happy with the car. No other car can give the same thrills for this amount of money. When you get in a 911 after driving the Tuscan, the Porsche
is incredibly dull and feels slow.
If you want to own a Tuscan, just do it. Every time you hear the buzz of the oil pump when starting up, you get a big smile on your face.
Treat it with respect, and you won't be disappointed.

I'm very happy so many things about the car make your day - like the guy in the M3 yesterday who lowered his window just to listen to the exhaust symphony - (as I went past him of course!
