I'm here in the US. Proud owner of a Dare Ginetta G4. I refer to her as my mistress as she is very needy--but when she is running right, there is nothing better to drive.
I've been patiently waiting for the Tuscan to be legal to come to the US. I'm trying to decide if I'm nuts or, if it is time for my patience of 25 years to be finally rewarded. My questions:
1) Assuming I drive it like a sane person 99% of the time, drive dry days over 35 degrees Fahrenheit will the Tuscan be needy?
2) Something goes wrong (since it is 25 years old)...are parts in the unobtainium category?
3) Day to day parts--brakes, oil filter, belts--easily accessible?
4) It will likely sit for 4-5 months of winter. Will reawakening the Tuscan be a level 2 stress event?
Thoughts welcome!

I know of two Tuscans currently being prepared to go the USA... so you will not be on your own smile
