Just saw / heard my first rs2

[ge0rge]

In burgendy, sounded sublime and looked rather tasty for a mid 90's car. I can only wonder why audi stopped using this great sounding / performing engine and went back to 4 pot / v6/v8's ?

Was a bit long in the tooth when it eventually dissapeared but did get replaced by a rather sonorous V8!

[hope2421]

Sounds like it was a S2 as they didnt do a RS2 in that colour

[theboss]

Where and when did you see it? My brother has an S2 Avant in 'Ruby Red' with full RS2 body and alloys... and also lives in Wiltshire...

Where i work - In the BP building on pipers way..

That makes sense, he works for Nationwide

The wheels, mirrors, rear lights and brakes are the easy giveaways.

try finding an S2 that hasn't had a brake upgrade!
Then again plenty of S2's running rs2+ power out there.

I know a guy up in Aberdeen with a dark green RS2 Avant. It’s absolutely bloody lovely and looks astounding when passing ‘sports’ cars on the straight at Knockhill.

That would be Ragusa Green, I have never seen a ragusa one... I know 2 RS2's in Aberdeen but never seen of/heard off the green one.

I am hoping for similar to the above this year

Yeah as I said Wheels, mirrors, rear lights and brakes, try finding an S2 with all of them.

To be fair... the S2 in question (it's 99% likely it was my brothers car)... does have RS2 alloys, front bumper, rear lights, mirrors and Porsche brakes... I'll see if I can get him to put a pic on here

I can think of three of my head with all the RS2 trimmings, but as pointed out fairly sharpish colour is the usual give away for most. Still a nice spot though. Does your brother go by the name of Dest by any chance?

I was only referring to the untrained eye its a fairly easy mistake. As a standard S2 these days is a fairly rare sight, try finding one of those...

No he doesn't. But there can't be too many ruby red S2 avants in RS2 trim in the Swindon area, and if you're on the S2forum you'll probably know him.

Cracking car, I've borrowed it many times myself and it never fails to put a grin on one's face. All it needs now is 450bhp

[Al Wyn]

Might be Ross off S2 forum possibly???

[istoo]

could be Ross or Dest, both cars are in good shape, although Ross is the lad with the tales of woe i shall not go into!

I lurk around s2forum once in a while, moreso recently .

[theboss]

Ross is my bro... tales of woe indeed...

I followed his thread all the way through, I do feel sorry for him, then annoyed when you see how many other victims of the same culprate...

So other than the colour im not really to be blamed for thinking it was a rs2.. My ignorance ! . Did sounds bloody good though, better than my evo 6 used to sound..
