    Our most famous owner???

    just doing a quick search after being at Wiscombe Park on Saturday to watch my first Hillcliming event (excellent by the way, very tempted to have a go myself now) and thought I'd see if I could find some video of the two UR's which were running and came across this: Oh and a nice noggy blue RS2 in the paddock btw



    I knew Phil Short was an Audi enthusiast but hadn't realised he owned and climbed/raced an S2

    For those that don't know, Phil was Walter Rorhl's co driver on the Lombard Rac Rally in 1985 when he ran the PDK (double clutch) S1 E2 and is now working for the FIA nurturing new talent through.

    Johnny Milner rallied an s2 a while ago...before becoming the British champion. (2003 I think it was) Dont know if he still has it tucked away in his garage with everything else!

      Jonny Milner had the Shell sponsored S2 didn't he ?

      Red & Yellow livery - looked gr8 - I have an article on it somewhere...

      Jimmy McCrae also tried to rally one in Donegal in the mid 90s but it never started the rally with some bizarre ECU fault. Damn shame...

      Good find on Phil Short though Dave - wasn't he a co-pilot for David Llewelyn as well ?

            So are we saying that I am not the most famous S2 driver then?

            Umm, It's gonna take a while to adjust to this revelation - if it IS true
