a perfect sheen!!!

I'm glad I had it today- the car showed 29.5c on way home from work today


Just a small Ps- The way you keep the S2 so clean is a credit to you, Mike. It's heartwarming to see her, and to read what other members have posted about her. I only had her for some 2 years, so I take little or no credit for her ongoing beautiful condition, but to the previous owners to me also. Please keep the photos and write-ups coming Mike.

But if you had to choose S2 OR air-con??? S2 every day even if it's 30 odd degrees!

Nice to hear that , you definitely deserve as much credit as the owners before you bud. That's why she's so good, been treated right by us all. I do my best to keep her tip-top and i quite enjoy writing about the adventures and the day to day life living with a S2.

Yeah your right Mike,the September trip is perfect as it is.Can't wait!

[Michael S2]

Looks superb! Will we be doing that road in September?

It's not on the route planned Mark, but we'll see how we get on. There would be a lot of extra single track if we went this way and by that point after being up to Tongue and Durness (quite a bit single track) you'll want to get some open road i would say.

The September route planned is perfect as is

[QUOTE=Michael S2;862111]Was 28 degrees on the way down today My only complaint about this car is the lack of air con, i was a bit sweaty by the time i got home The car did leave Germany with air con, someone before me thought it would be a good idea to remove it :coo coo:

It wasn't Me, Mike

When I asked whether it had Air-Con, I was told 'we don't need Air-con much in Scotland' !!

The switch illuminates, but with no compressor, condenser, and pipes cut behind PAS reservoir- it's gonna take a bit of work to re-instate it

Cheers Colin, roads are awesome! I was going a bit quick...couldn't slow down quick enough to make it into that car park Dived into the next available spot

[mackenzie50]

glad you had a good run up North , Mike- epic roads aren't they?!

here's a snap in nearly the same spot, with my scruffy 7a CQ (which has been granted a new lease of life, but that's another story )

[Michael S2]

......I recon it probably wasn't working. My AC compressor was needing replaced due to the clutch thingy being knackered.....so out it came.
It'll save weight, I told myself.

I'm sure this was the reason John, but i'd pay good money for someone to plumb it back in mine right now

[Michael S2]

Its a great colour for s2))

It is indeed

Based on your start/end at Coupar Angus, how far away from Martin ABY S2 coupe are you? Martin was here in Vancouver a few years ago and I remember talking abouth Perth and Blairgowrie with him.

Don't know any other S2 owners near me really. Does he still have his S2? Only Martin with a ABY coupe i know is up in Aberdeen.

I'm sure I saw you today going past Kintore about 5. Looked good.

Cheers, yes that was me. Had to drop my co-driver off in the middle of Aberdeen, hence the long way home.

Hey London boy....I resemble both those remarks!

Maybe, or as Craig says "Laanddon cockney me old china" as tight as a crabs ars at ten fathoms.

I see you didn't bite over on CA. I'll go for a second bite,.. ..have a chew on this.




Sorry mike if you want me to remove it i will.
