Test drove a few - they were lovely. They were focused.
Driving down to Chichester to buy an immaculate Caymen, It took me 2.5 hours from Shoreham, because of traffic - in which time I had convinced myself that having a sports car ins the SE is absolutely pointless.

I have a soccer-mum's SUV - however it does have 315 bhp ( more that the cayman) and is only 0.1 sec slower 0-60). But I can get the dog in the back, get out of it easily to do the shopping, and it is comfortable on long journeys.

It is a bit of what used to be called a "Q" car.
I was following an enormous (I think) RS-Q8 the other day, and, tbh, I couldn't think of a bigger waste of resources or cash.

I like a good restomod and I like classics.
For restomods go to
https://www.youtube.com/user/retropowercars

It takes them over a year to do a full build, but they do it properly.

For "normal" classics and sports cars old and new, Harry's Garage is my favourite channel along with Tyrrels classic workshop.

I think they were trying to make it as patronising as possible ...

"Soccer mum's SUV" ??

I didn't know Shoreham was in the USA..
I used that term as it was quoted at me the other week ...

They are the kings of the TLGP - about 600bhp and 600 ft/lb as standard, through a proper quattro 4wd system (and £20 of fuel spent every time lol).

Horrid things no doubt driven exclusively by horrid people.

Me too! I wouldn't turn down a Q8 either (if it was petrol, not diesel - environment and all that :lol: )

(They had a nice black Q7 TFSI in the dealers on Sunday. Might just blag a test drive. :D ).

My sister sold her A45 and bought a SQ7 when she got knocked up.

Which is fucking stupid, cos an A Class has four doors and isofix and it was only one child.
