I've not been able to spend much time on here recently due to new arrivals in the family. Twins to be exact! 
I never thought it would happen, but I've decided to advertise our RS2 for sale...
Here's a copy of the ad text from Piston Heads;
£21,500
117,000 Miles
Quite probably the finest driven example of an RS2 available anywhere on the road today. First class condition inside, outside and underneath.
Drives immaculately. Feels taut yet compliant, with no rattles, squeaks or unwanted exhaust drone. Everything works as it should.
Ever since reading about the RS2 in the press back in ’94, I had always wanted to own one. In 2006, after a long search I eventually found the right car. It had not only the right condition but also the optimum colour, seat and trim combination.
Throughout the last 9 years our RS2 has been well loved and consistently maintained to an exceptional standard – I fully planned on it being a lifelong keeper.
Life however, can take some unexpected turns. I’m now the proud father of infant twins and our perfect getaway car is not getting much use…
1 of 180 RHD cars originally released for the UK, New Zealand and South African markets. As of Q4 2013, just 79 remain licensed on the road in the UK.
RS Pearl Blue paint, blue Alcantara electric Recaro seats, carbon fibre interior trim. Air-conditioning and electric windows, mirror and roof.
Complete Audi/Specialist service history. Next service due 16/04/15 or 126255 miles. Cam belt/water pump/pulley/tensioner/thermostat/seals renewed March 2010. Taxed till end Sept ’14. 12 months MOT.
In October 2011, the car made 392PS and 577NM on the dyno at MRC Tuning, running 1.8 bar boost. Since then, the car has been fitted with a new slightly larger K26/27 hybrid turbo, a new Wagner Tuning EVO RS2 intercooler/exhaust manifold and re-tuned, running 1.9 bar boost.
Whilst unproven, current output is believed to be in the region of 440 PS and 600 NM.
All service components are genuine OEM Audi or Porsche parts unless noted otherwise below. Any deviations from stock have been carefully chosen for their improved quality or performance over the original part, without sacrifice to cabin quality and comfort. All modified components selected OEM black wherever possible. The car appears stock.
This RS2 looks as good as it stops, starts and handles the corners….

Someone will be getting an amazing motor. worth every penny IMHO. Will you live to regret it? Hope not. GLWS
. I agree with some of the above statements.My boy is nearly 4 and he loves being out with daddy on the car. If your selling because you need the money then i understand but if your selling because you feel you won't have time then that will soon pass.
