S2 Estate photo/update

[Ian Simmonds]

With the Ur still in dry dock with it's engine/power train rebuild, the S2's been seeing a bit more 'event' action and went down to ADI and this months Breakfast Club at Goodwood. The old girl has had a couple of issues too lately, firstly with the PAS Pump hemorrhaging hydraulic fluid all over the road, then, once a new pump was fitted, within 48 hours it was peeing engine oil all over the place through the Oil Pressure Sensor. Amazing timing with a big spend-up going on elsewhere. Also had the throttle cable slip off the throttle butterfly (the small nylon bush going AWOL from the cable end), giving me partial throttle all the time, so dipping the clutch saw the rpm head north.

Anyway, back on form, took the old girl out for a blast today, dog in the back, kids well strapped in...annndd...boooosssst. I love the car to bits, I really do...





At Goodwood.

Green ones are the best

Thanks... I'm half thinking about upgrading to 7.5x16 Avus, as I've got a set sat here.. But that'd knacker the originality... But then again, the Ronal's aren't painted correctly anyway.

Our front Goodyear F1's are down to pretty much legal minimum, yet it's been bloomin' great in the wet (even standing water)... I'll get them sorted soon, and probably put the Avus on for the winter. But they do love a bit of wet.
