Richard,
Congratulations from the black 4/4 owner in Riccall !!!
When my first was born I had a 1966 Porsche 911 and a 1951 VW Beetle in a well stocked man cave in York....I was in total shock thinking that I would have to sell everything to survive,
It didn't happen...we survived and I used the man cave as an "escape" from work and being a parent.
Many years later when I sold the 911 at the top of the market I put some money into a "wedding fund " for my daughter.(and bought a Porsche 356 !!)
This year my 28 year old beautiful daughter got married in Venice and the "wedding fund" came into its own...I also enjoyed the 3 week + drive to Venice in my "entry level" 4/4 !!!
It's true if you have to have a V8..the old style trad cannot match the modern +8 in terms of comfort and handling.
Best of luck !!!
