I bought the Tuscan brand new back in 2005 and since then have had a massive grin on my chops. I love that car but unfortunately the Aston Martin itch is getting itchier and I need to scratch it. It looks like the Tuscan will be put up for sale very shortly to be replaced by a DB9.

I'll be keeping the RV8 Tuscan Challenge car 'cos thats the only thing that gives me a proper rush biggrin

I'll miss TUSS TWO

Who knows Brian, I don't know. I don't drive the Tuscan like it should be. Too many scammeras, coppers, and dheads on the roads these days. I always promised myself an Aston when I retired but a few peple I know have snuffed it days, weeks, and months into their retirement so I thought, "bks, get one now and enjoy it". I'm 12 years from retirement yet so why not. I can always sell it if I don't get on with it..... See you at Rockingham for the first round of DTEC?

I drove a DB9 on a track day a couple years ago.Un intertesting performance but that's why you have a challenge car. Get the Aston then get bored move on.
That's the point Perry. The way I drive the Tuscan these days, it has uninteresting performance. I can't remember last time I seen the baboons arse! I just don't push it anymore so I may as well get something a lot more refined while I can.

I'd have thought the Aston a bit too tame for you mate. wink
Haha, I remember it well. Good job I know how to "uncork" a DB9 then hehe

I wish, I promised the Mrs that I'd sort the gardens out and fix the fence!
