Giving the S2 some love

[Ian Simmonds]

Well, the S2 has been in West Wales again this week, with over 600 miles since Sunday. Took the time to pop in to Dave (Tractor Dave) on my way through.

I took this photo on the coast road heading south.

That thing is massive, Strange to think that a S2 Avant was a big car back when it was new

[Ian Simmonds]

Our Audi S2 probably doesn’t quite make classic status yet, as it’s still a daily, but the EV family estates are portly…



Station car park this morning.

[Tractor Dave]

Nice to see you again. Quattro owners always welcome

A good trip then ?

Looking mint again after scrubbing !

The old girl has been busy lately. She’s been to West Wales and Aberystwyth again on a flying visit, dropping in to see Dave for a brew. (Thank you for having me Dave). 660 mile round trip, and the return journey was a straight 5 hour run from Dave’s to Sussex in over 30 deg heat on Wednesday last. Bless, the old girl didn’t miss a beat, oil pressure and temps were rock solid.

Work. Hideous AM start on Monday (0315) it was my own making, so I can’t complain.


Back home, with the fleet after a good weekend of cleaning and 4000 Welsh bugs off the front of the S2.

A bit outdated message, but be careful with that mod. The load coming through the stalks with both high and low beams on is pretty high. My stalk was heating and I made a relay for the lights.

This is the reason why we have plug and play conversion kits for this problem. My coupe almost burned down...

Hi John
guessing about 80 miles or so, Worthing, north to Ashington, cross country via Advasane to A272, then, Petworth, Midhurst, south to Goodwood racecourse , then cut back across the downs to Eartham and Slindon, up the A29, then across via Amberley, Storrington, A24 back to Worthing. There's some nice country roads in there.

Some of my favourite roads, car or bike

[Ian Simmonds]

Looking very nice too

Did you do many miles?

Just a couple of pictures from this morning’s run out. Nothing to report really, just enjoying it…







They are taken up by Goodwood racecourse.

I came back to the S2 yesterday evening and it looked like this…



In Sussex!!!

The world has gone mad..

[Ian Simmonds]

Thank you gents, tempting fate here, but it does seem to be a happy bunny at the moment. Given the £xxk spent, one would hope so….

[Tractor Dave]

She is looking fine
