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 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.

Re: Are you more 'chasing classic cars' or more fast n loud?
Me too! I wouldn't turn down a Q8 either (if it was petrol, not diesel - environment and all that )
(They had a nice black Q7 TFSI in the dealers on Sunday. Might just blag a test drive. ).

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.
