Ahhhh, the glow of Emerald Pearl basking in sun. Looking forward to getting mine out soon. Waiting on some hoses/pipes so the leak test can continue and then the brakes then gogogogogo. I have a spare grille somewhere, so might dig it out, get peeling and tuck myself up with some black paint. Always liked the original chrome but yours looks good. Cannot hurt to try.

S2 v 2007 S3
We were out today in the S2, as a family of four, with 'ye mad Collie' in the back, when, South of Pulborough, we gained, 'up the trumpet' an Audi S3 of 2007 vintage, just as the road slows to cross a narrow bridge before a mile long straight. As we entered the straight the dog was apocalyptically 'barking' mad as the S3 swung out to overtake on the clear ribbon of tarmac... But the S2 girded its loins and suddenly the two lads in the S3 had a problem. The family wagon with the badger faced collie barking at them was actually impossible to overtake, but the humiliation was complete as the kids were waving whilst the dog barked at them. Worse was to come as the S2 came into its 'higher up zone' and the 'wagon of humiliation' was actually pulling away. The lads tucked back in behind and dropped back for the twisty bits into Storrington, no doubt unsure what an S2 Avant is.... The dog loved it....85 WR Urquattro, 85 20vT International liveried RallyRep

Bless, the old girl has had a pretty slow old pace of life lately with nothing but local family stuff and the daily station car park stuff.... Although the car park does have some likeminded owners...
However today we had a good old gallop out with a couple of hundred miles fully loaded, kids, Collie, family clutter and various gifts... And the S2 was an absolute joy with effortless power, easily surpassing or, at worse matching pretty much everything out there and darting down twisting A roads with agility, comfort and confidence... ( not to mention the 3" Milltek sound). The public haven't a clue what this small (in 2015) estate car is, but it really, really is, still.... a fantastic car to drive and can more than hold its own, even some 22 years after it left the factory...
Its been a good S2 day today....
I took a few pictures of the old girl in the late afternoon as it clicked itself cool after a 'spirited' day with plenty of boost in her lungs... They do love a good drive...

What you have written in the above post is exactly right, i feel the same way about my s2 Avant. It always makes me smile just how good a car they are, it does what ever i ask of it with no bother, commute, tip runs, or going for a no reason blast it laps it all up. I still 22 years on would call it a quick car and it catches modern stuff out all the time, glad i bought one, yes they are an expensive car to keep on the road but boy are they rewarding to drive. Lovely.

A couple of weekends ago I gave some new snow foam a shot, I was impressed to say the least, when I waxed it, the microfibre cloth was almost clean at the end. The photo doesn't do it justice, it's scrubbed up well...
Today I managed to get out and give the old girl a wipe over and took some decent photos inbetween the showers...
For a 22 year old car its not bad, but the interior is starting to show its age.85 WR Urquattro, 85 20vT International liveried RallyRep
