Thanks Nuvo. Don't think I have the technology to do that. But using your new version, I extracted the wonky cover scan and added a less wonky version. So now the totatlly fixed version is in the first post and here:

Good work Dave.

Since you're talking about removing this in a few days would it not be an idea to have it hosted on-line somewhere ?

Always interesting to read these articles with the advantage of the passage of 20 odd years, and years of first hand experience of these S cars.

Why was it that when I read the opening article phrase "Audi was wounded so deeply by those TV journalist clowns" that I immediately thought to myself "What did Clarkson say about Audi back then?" (when I should have thought "60 minutes")? I guess "clowns" and Clarkson are synonymous to me forever now.

Sounds as if we were this || close to getting the S2 in North America.

Typo on the tyre/rim size but an otherwise well written article.

Thanks for sharing!

Nope. The S2s came with 2 different wheels. The early S2s, including 1990-92 coupes, and the early 93 coupes and 93 S2 avants, got a five spoke 7J x 16H2 ET37 wheel made by Ronal, code C4G. The later cars got the C5T 16" Avus like the UrS6s (and some UrS4s). The first photo shows the S2 five spoke C4G wheel, the second the rare S2 sedan sporting the C5T Avus wheels.
