With you on that one Rob. Looked at a number of Tuscans. Don't think I will ever buy one though, for exactly the above. Talking to another customer at the tyre shop earlier today. He had binned his TVR for a triumph, as the Triumph was much more reliable. :rofl:

I know it's over budget but I have a terrible itch for a 4.8i Cayenne! Must be black with black and I think I'll struggle to see the year out without scratching that itch! :thumbsup:
