Its going to be my run around until i get another car for everyday use, then its going to be track slag only

I bought the car off Mankee (rallye register member) and it has been well looked after, i have an RR print out of 149bhp at chip wizards
The car has been in various magazine articles PFC and some others not sure which
Mankee has done a great job of her up to date and i plan on putting the little extras on top of what he has done

Heres some pics of her with my old s2

Nippy little motors these.

I've always liked these little cars.

You're both look really nice.

Welcome to PH too

I loved my old rallye, kinda wish i'd held onto it for a fun secind car. Oh well you live and learn. Stripped rear, group n exhaust, speedlines and the engine slightly breathed on.Here she is, she was called momo.



Dont worry the sunvisor wasnt actually on there it was just a photoshop so see what it looked like. The answer was crap.

[AndyKH]

And heres how i got it. This is the first day i tokk it into work and a truck reversed into the bonnet. I only found this out because i went outside to admire her and found the truck driver patiently waiting for someone to come and tell him whos car it was. Who said there are no honest people in the world?

And heres how i wanted it to look before i came to my senses and realised that big wheels would ruin the handling.

[Adz The Rat]

That is very very nice, tempted by one myself

Hi Danny,

Are you getting rid of the blue S2 now or has that already gone.

Andy,



I remember that day thats my red rallye parked next to yours. the one you had was a nice looking car.

I've got a set of S2 steelies on mine now and it handles better on them than the 15". I've owned it almost 7 years now. they are great little cars.

Jesus i remember you, i was asking how hard it was to fit the lower strut brace. I found out it was very easy . How are you?

[Wu16valver]

Hey Kirk the s2 has gone now mate, gone back to an s1 as you can see Bloody lovely its sooo quick i will take you for a drive sometime

Cheers for the comments guys i cant wait to get her on track for a thrash and to embarrass some bigger cars round corners lol

Hopefully attend some of your North West drive outs aswel

I doing alright, I remember talking to you on the day and posting on the PGAC. I had only just fitted the strut brace just before that show. How long did you keep the rallye and what did you replace it with?

Danny,

Sorry to steal the thread slightly. I hope the S2 went to some one who will appriciate it, it was a nice example and standard mint once are getting rarer.

[AndyKH]

Yeah sorry for the hi jack mate! I kept the rallye for about three years i think and sold it for £300 more than i paid for it! I replaced it with a lupo gti which was a cracking little car. I miss the old rallye though i had such a laugh driving that thing. Oh and i've just found it forsale on www.106rallye.com for 900!

[AndyKH]

This is what i replaced it with.

That looks quite good, the rallye looks ace as well.

Hello from a fellow 16v S1 owner


Red ones are faster though

[AndyKH]

Heres the lupo again but with a different set of photoshoped wheels.
