Dave - no, it's FWD, which is fine and makes the car lighter. Plenty of grip and performance! When the roof is down I tend to be in cruise mode!
Rod - I should image they they use small dinghies which are moored at the water's edge and then left at the boat/yacht mooring. And if away for sometime probably then towed behind the boat/yacht.

ChrisF, when the yachts are all anchored off, like that, how does one access their boat?? Here in Toronto (Ontario, Canada) in the Great Lakes, we tye up at finger docks in marinas.

Hi Nick, re Mens' sheds We have them in NZ as well. They have just built a big new one locally. There are 118 around NZ at the moment.
My baby - 1990 Toyota Cressida 3L DOHC 24valve is my weekend old mans' cruiser and tow car for the small boats I restored. Very few originals left in NZ now, probably one of the last good ones. Just repainted the roof and bonnet. 300,000km and still going strong.
You certainly find things to do and enjoy life more in retirement, as you actually have time to live. Can be a curse, as you notice all the jobs you didn't have time to do when working😁

ChrisF,
The Audi TT is a great car too.
If I didn't already have more cars than indoor parking stalls, I'd consider one of those.
Is yours Quadra Trac? I've heard that really makes 'em fun!

So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

We like our brightly coloured sports cars! Bought this in 2014 a few years before fully retiring and that year we did a two week tour of Scotland, taking in my wife's birthday in September.
The weather gods certainly smiled on us as we had the roof down every day, rule being it had to be be over 17 degrees. Sometimes if misty it was later in the morning but we never failed. Thought about doing it again but we can't be that lucky with the weather again!

With reference to retirement, if your in the UK, consider if there's one local to you, an organisation called " Men in Sheds" ......best thing I ever did, some sheds are better than others, ours has just about every tool conceivable, if you just want to drink tea and chat that's OK.
There's plenty of guys with varying degrees of experience to give a hand and advice.
Woodwork and Metalwork covered. Best thing I ever did.
I'm sure there might be some in other countries as it all started in Australia.......😊😊😊😊😊😊👍

I retired gradually from teaching reducing the number of classes that I taught to half-time my final semester. Retiring fully February 1, 2015.
In April, my wife and I travelled to London, taking in some walking tours before taking the train to Canterbury spending four days, before heading to Seaford on the coast near Brighton. We golfed several times, rented a car to drive and see Sissingham, Arundle Castle, and more. We had a great couple weeks!

Hi river rat, good luck with it if you join a class separate as soon as you can, it will go better that way. Trust me!
I expect the teacher will do a lot of switching around it avoids bringing any 'issues' with you.
