Automobile association having tantrums looking over vehicle (6,3)

I believe the answer is:

sports car

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'automobile association' is the definition.
'sports car' can be an answer for 'automobile' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'association' bit.

'tantrums looking over vehicle' is the wordplay.
'tantrums looking' becomes 'sports' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'over' says to put letters next to each other.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'sports'+'car'='SPORTS-CAR'

'having' is the link.

(Other definitions for sports car that I've seen before include "Low-slung two-seater" , "Soft-top, say" , "Lotus perhaps" , "One often with hood down" , "fast vehicle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
