Or do what my mate has just done. Buy an old car that you have to actually drive
(a 993 C4S)
Yeah old cars probably.
I've had a few over the years, but my "fun" is limited these days to happening across some twistys while driving for work. I don't have time for a play thing.... or a car ;-)
Mini Cooper JCW (proper smaller one not BMW in disguise bigger ones), still a hoot to drive (actually drive!), very quick in the real world, built well, sounds good, handles great, has factory warranty and can be specced with adaptive suspension, HUD etc to keep creature comforts and still well under £30k with discounts with decent spec (hold value well too).
Kinda the direction I’m leaning in.
