Nice! Many happy miles.

As a random aside (and I appear to be getting a reputation for randomness), a trio of S2 111s put on a truly awesome display of pace at Rockinham on Saturday, Hans, nikos and Fred, chasing down quite a few honda powered elises on the way around. You have got yourself a really good car there.

very different to my old s1 but love it to bits! when finances allow cos currently skint shall be putting it on the track look forward to that... allways found the s1 one great so with the extra grunt and handling changes should be good fun!

the pros are its much easier to live with quicker etc! downsides are it is not half as tail happy! but my old s1 was getting tired so and happy with the proggresion plus its stunnig to look at! parked next to a DB9 and the 111s was the looker!

some say the car is to refined from going from an s1 how do you see it. ilove the raw feel of the s1 but in winter it can get abit much, was it only the 111s u looked at, as im stuck between this and the 135r,

still great fun handles like its on rails but the s1 would break away evenly the s2 is set up to understeer unless you lift of or give it a flick 1st if you know what i mean! Great to master either way!
