      Manuel would more likely get used for all sorts as the S2 is a pain in the harris, if the fuel is frightening I've always got the bike

            Glad you put a space between power and less
            For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2

                I had the 2.8 auto and it was ****ing shocking. I got 220 miles to a tank on average, it wasn't even fast. Lovely car but the auto box and the fuel economy were the reasons I sold mine.

                    I got decent money for mine and I replaced it with my MG with money left over. One of my better car choices as the MG is much cheaper to run, more fun to drive and a much better talking point. It's a shame as I did like the cab, but the cost of running it dulled the experience for me.

                      I paid £400 for the cab, plate on it was valued at £450 so I've saved that before I broke it
                      My coupe v6 cost £500 and I ve had a year with no major problems till now
