    Ungrateful!!!!

    How ungrateful are these S2's I have spent the whole of the last 2 days fettling with mine fixing a load of niggling jobs and adding new bits I have not yet fitted. And the lost of jobs just get bigger the more you do.
    I had not driven it for months until yesterday so of course the battery was flat again, so swapped the battery and tried to start.... Nothing! The ignition barrel has collapsed so after an hour or two of fiddling I managed to swap the barrel into another housing so I can keep the same key.
    I will try to pick my way through the rest of the jobs this week as an Xmas present to myself

    Yes they are very ungrateful indeed , every time I fit new parts all it wants to do for me is remove skin from my knuckles .

          What about my UR?

          Spent a week fettling

          Fitted stereo, Amp and Speakers
          Boost Air Fuel and Oil pressure Gauge
          Sorted out always Hot heater control
          Cleaned all Negatives to stop the light show on the rear

          First trip out Turbo pretends its an Oil pump and pumps oil into the exhaust. Making a nice smoke screen for the following motorists! CHEERS.

            They're like a beautiful, yet sadistic woman.

            They'll beat you up endlessly in exchange for spurious moments of pleasure... yet we keep crawling back to them.

              I've been showing the S2 some heavy duty accelerator stamping and 200 miles a day for the last fortnight, starts again tomorrow at 05:50 for another mileage 'fest'... And it's positively loved it, feels 10yrs younger...

              Use it, or lose it..... They weren't built to hang around for cobwebs to form.

                  Its so true, I can spend £40 in a day if i use it to potter around everywhere. Its robbery.
                  But, like the sadistic woman i keep going back for more!
