Doors, long or short?
Discussion
Back into happy shopper mode, more bone questions that I hope you chaps don't mind answering.
Decision made, was between wedge, xjs
, 944 again or S series.
S series won, however, are the door openings that bad on an S2 compared with the S3. I know I have to physically try them and I sat in Beeka's S3 which fitted nicely. I am not that big, about 6'1 and 17 stone, so not really of bigfoot variety, but needless to say, if I can't get in or out without looking like a buffoon it isnt much good.
Also, is there any great gain in having a few more stickys going into an S3.
I'm not trolling, and appreciate not the brightest question in the world!!
At least a decision has been made, just in time for winter

Well i reackon if you can get in and out of the S3 ok I dont think you'll have too much of a problem getting in and out of an S2,but your just have to try.
The rest IMHO is just cosmetics,and obviously the S3 being a bit newer will usually cost more beer tokens
Right who's got an S2 mike can try
P.S this question is nowhere near trolling - i've seen far better examples in SP&L

Not that I'd ever expect to pay that money for an S3 (V8S available for that money ) but penisula have an S3 in at the moment http://peninsulaautomotive.co.uk/sales.asp#Current Sales List if you wanted to try it out for size down brizzzzzzzzzle way.

Funny you should say that Podie, but I have injured knees, the left one worse than the right.
Guess it is a case of having a decent try of both.
Trouble is, you never see any for sale in local garages. Well, not in Bristol anyway.
Same here... even modified the clutch to make it lighter on the action.
Problem with longer doors is that they require a larger space in which to open...
I'm 6'6" and have perfected a fairly graceful exit strategy (entry is easier) for my S3, even with the roof on.
I had the chance to try an S1 (same doors as the S2) for size at the last Berks meet and thought I was going to have to call the fire brigade to come and get me out!
Most of my height is in my legs which probably didn't help, but I had to get my knees up round my ears in order to get my feet out!
The only sure way is to try one - your local TVRCC meeting would probably be a good bet if you're not able to take Christian up on his offer.
Good luck!

There's a BRG S2 at Cleeve Wood Garage in Downend. The car looks in reasonable nick though in need of some TLC and is about £6500, you could practically walk from your house! Personally I didn't go for the colour but I'm fussy ar2e me which is why I've been looking for an eternity now - has to be Mica Blue/magnolia...
