        Interesting to see a few pages dedicated to an accurate article Although, I'd hardly call a remap a minor gain and anything involving a turbo makes for a substantially faster car than any of its contemporaries. Still, retains the element of surprise, so can't hurt to contain a little misinformation

                  Some owners go nucking futs and spend sooooo much money that they have to sell the uncompleted project at a fraction of what they paid, to avoid divorce.

                    Forgive me if this sounds a little arrogant, but in my humble opinion any decent s2 artical written in the present should feature at least a nod to this forum

                      Was idly flicking through and caught a brief glimpse of a 3B steering wheel and excitedly turned the page! It's so infrequent for S2s to get any attention in media, always overlooked in Top Gear so yeah really good to read a pretty decent article. But I guess that was the appeal in the first place, subtle and under the radar.

                          Probably not, think it's 1 issue old. Must be able to order from the publishers? You can download it!
