Just been looking at your "Mr White meet Mr Orange" thread. I noticed than in your fleet you have a lovely Audi RS2....that wouln't happen to be the one featured in EVO magazine this month would it? Lovely car anyway even if it wasn't the one featured. Definitely a classic.
Yes, that's my tow car. 
still one of my favorite "classics" though. welshnobby said:
...how was the day?
A great experience - all of the Evo staffers treated us (and our cars) really well, and there was very much a PH-like enthusiasm from all of the owners there. And yes, I dod happen to mention I bought is as my tow car. 
Seeing how the photographers worked was enlightening, and of course we got to find some more excellent driving roads ....

No way! I don't think you'd find a W registration Chimaera in the same condition as the one in the test for £10K either. It was a good article with some nice cars but I noticed that they said a decent 968CS wasnt available for £10K but mine is for sale at less and although others on the market are over 10K it would have been nice to see a 968 included because it is always popular with buyers and less niche than an Espirit.
Still, I guess they couldnt please everyone and maybe they wanted to include less obvious choices.

...i wondered how sympathetic they would be on the machinery. There was a couple of pics of the m5 with it's tail out! Did you ride along with them? If so how comfortable did you feel and are there any stand out drivers amongst them?

What it did show was how the photographers drive the whole two day test, with the journos having to fit their driving in around the shooting. Oh, and nice to chat to John Barker who was at the RS2 launch all those years ago.

I agree, but then I would do...I own a 968CS as well!
I guess you could say that the 968CS was covered in its class by the Mazda RX-7...but if you read any magazines of the era, the majority of them rated the 968CS far above the RX-7 for driving thrills.
