Hi there.

Yet another newbie in the search of an S2.

Currently running around in a B6 A4, 1.8T Quattro Sport. Before that I was tearing around in a Renault 182 Cup. The 182 Cup went as I needed something to eat motorway in and the A4 did it very well. However now I don't have a daily commute that requires a car so I've weighed up the options and an S2 is the way forward. Basically it's going to be a weekend car, something I can run around in and enjoy every aspect of.

I'm still a member of Cliosport.net and take tonnes of stick for driving, "Der Panzer." They think I'm even nuttier for going for an S2. They're a bunch of automotive heathens.

I have to say judging buy the amount of new recruits on here there's going to be some stiff competition.

Welcome

Looks like you have come to the right place. They are excellent cars and you will not be disappointment if you got a drive in one.

How was the Clio 182? I read the EVO magazine a lot and they love that little car. Always fancied a drive of one as they are meant to handle brilliantly.

The 182 Cup was great fun. Really raw though. The best way to describe it like driving a road going gokart. It just goes exactly where you point it and the engine loves to rev. To be honest the engine is a bit boring until VVT kicks in about 5.2K, then it's a whole different machine; manic I think it the word.

Here she is:





although a couple of months ago one of the lads on Cliosport spotted her in a salvage yard. I have no idea what happened to her. Looks like someone nailed it and she understeered.

Id always wanted a 182.

First car (has since been demoted to second following the acquisition of the s2 ) was a clio billabong 1.2, very fun to drive - and as you say, like a go kart. The 182 always appealed to me as a go kart with a massive engine

I must say, that having had a 182 try it on when i was in my s2, i was glad i made the RIGHT decision for my next car

I still can't believe how fast your S2 was. While I was spooling up to over take a couple of cars, you were jumping 5 or 6. I've never seen pick up like that.
