        I've had my UR 18 years (albeit it's been parked in my parents garage for the last 9 years and had my RS2 14 years (although that's been parked in my garage over a year)

                  Clear out the breather system bud. I have rebuilt the head and had new guides and VSOS's fitted and I have got a little bit of a smoke issue when I put my foot on the accelerator after the car is on overrun. Not much so Im hoping that once I clean out the breather system the car will burn off what ever oil was in the system from before I did the head work and then it will settle down. i havent even done 200 miles since the rebuild so its not done to many heat cycles so im hoping it settles itself down shortly after this.

                    Mine is definitely being kept. Like most she has cost me a small fortune so far (original purchase and import costs but also the mandatory 'making good' items to date which are only half complete ) but has been totally worth it. Not only do I love the car to bits I also love the fact that she's a rare vehicle. Audi UK have confirmed her as the one and only original S2 sedan in the UK so I feel I have a duty to care for her and wouldn't let her go to anyone other than a genuine enthusiast.

                        Did you just make that! lol


                        Mine is a keeper as long as I can. Ive had her for over 11 years now and spent more than I purchased the car for over the years, but reckon that is pretty good compared to having a newer car.

                                How true... In a coupe the kids can't open the rear doors unlike a coffin carrier...

                                Always been my ideal family car, other then the RS6... but it went so fast the kids couldn't open the doors due to the wind speed...
