    you cant drive 2, greedy would be a shame mate but as said it would be a shame to let it stand..its hard to part with such items,i have been through it loads of times(especially when i have built cars from the ground up)
    what else can ya do with it??
    i have chopped up my projects b4, rather than see it being driven by someone else(i am NOT saying to do this tho)
    i would sell a few bits off and make it look differnt ,to re-coop some money and make it not look like your car

    i am also planning the sale of my beloved!!keep putting it off

    i know exactly how you feel

        Keeping two S cars on the road in great condition mechanically ain't cheap
        And I not bothered about keeping for the sake of it

                Andy,

                It will be sad to see it go, but as you say no point being to precious about it.... plus you will be able to spend more on the S4....

                    Keep It... IMHO

                    I've kept my S2 when I had the RS6 and S4 Cab... You will come back to it!! If you sold yours and then regret it?? Just imagine how much it will cost you to try and find another one in as good condition as yours...

                    Costs nothing to pop it in the garage and forget about it.... Mine was laid up for 6 years and cost peanuts to get it running again....

                    Mine is laid up again whilst I get over my MK2 Golf phase (which is lasting longer than I thought it would)... But its all paid for and costs now't whilst its sat there!!

                    Q; Do you need the money she owes you????

                    A;

                    Q; Do you REALLY wanna sell her??

                    A;

                    Q: Is the S4 REALLY That good??

                    A;

                    Q; Are you gonna get back what you have spent on her??

                    A;

                    Etc Etc....

                    Then make an informed decision.... HTH

                      Noooooooo, don't do it you will regret it! It will not deteriorate too much in your nice dry garage. I do appreciate the costs involved in keeping multiple s/rs cars on the road.

                      To be certain that selling is the right decision why not wait 6 months until the newness of the s4 has worn off.

                      If you really are serious I would sell both and buy an Avus silver RS4 but that is just my opinion.:mischeif:

                      I have done lots of work on your car including the engine swap so I know that someone will be getting a really nice car.

                      Cheers,

                      Dan.

                        To early to make that decision the S4 is shiney and new and it's in the honeymoon phase, I wish I could afford to have an S4 and S2

                          I think you will regret it too mate....
                          Modern Audi's are ok and usually faster but the S2 has more soul and character, yours is one of THE nicest examples and same as people say you will wish you had not got rid!

                            Keep it Andy, mine only does 2-3000 miles a year and is laid up for 5 months at a time no problem...

                              deep breaths.......I wouldn't be rushing to sell it, its in fantastic condition and I have a feeling that descision will be back to haunt you not long afterwards to be honest.
