Don't tell my wife...

Your timing is impeccable as always Noel.

Good choice in babysitter!

Here's a few photo's of the secret purchase, of my normal rubbish standard, she looks to be in good shape other than the exhaust which is on it's last legs.









Selection of random crap I've found in the car.

Thanks Philip.
I didn't even realise you were active on this forum

I'm excited and frustrated in equal parts because it will be a while before I get my hands on the car. Kit will look after it well though and then it will travel to Germany where it will be spoiled for attention until I collect it. By that point I may have told my wife. She's in the middle of setting up a company and doing a masters thesis right now so I'm just neglecting to mention it until she's probably in a more receptive frame of mind. Like the S2 I'm sure she'll love driving it as soon as her bum hits the seat.

Car delivered to Kit today....
Had a nice drive over to him today. Long cycle back to Pembrokeshire in the wind and rain!
Enjoy the car, "her indoors" will love it!

Some of us are finding it hard work to keep up with this thread.

OK, a translation then:

Shut up ! Shut up ! Noel ---don't dare be gloating and plotting before you have the awesome machine home. Or your missus will be getting a handle on this wild news and it's yourself that will be hanging from the tallest tree in the area by your testicles as a prime example for all the other women in the area AND THEN the word will get out and around the world and the rest of us will be f**ked!

Remember now - on its arrival let the kids see it and sit in it first and you might just survive to see the aftermath

Oh, and I've told my son (that's Andy) to put another spoonful of water in the gruel just in case you come to visit

Cheers Sandy, sage advice. The information control is being strictly controlled and I know she doesn't frequent S2forum thankfully. The car will make its way to Germany to a good friend of mine who I believe I could, without exaggeration, call a car genius (he does bits of work helping the likes of VW and Audi and also custom builds engine components). My masterplan right now is to take my missus and the boys to Germany in spring to visit friends and family, in which case it will be bloody handy to have a car there waiting for us. And afterwards weäll drive back through Denmark, visit legoland, see a couple of friends in Stockholm, nip over on an overnight ferry to Finland and on home. You see I'm really doing this as a considerate husband and father

ahem...
