I remember a mate of mine spending a fortune on his s2 years ago and getting it mint, everything you would want doing on one was done, engine rebuild, suspension sorted, was a nice thing.
He then decided to sell it and I thought he was mad and tried me best to talk him out of it.
Anyway he was working away and a lad wanted to view the car so I had the job of showing him it and taking it out for a test drive. I'm not even joking when I say within 200m I could understand why he wanted rid of it.
Reality is they really are an absolute bag of shite
