I loved my S2 and sold it only very recently to finance a project which never took off. Now I really regret selling it. I shall get another....
A 944S2 with M030 is one of lifes better experiences.

You're better off with the later turbo; 250bhp as opposed to 220bhp, but more importantly M030 is standard and you get the *huge* four-pot Brembo discs front and back.
The S2 was my everyday (and only) car for a couple of years.

Actually I'll agree the later ones are the better ones, I just like the "original" cars because they are the first ones, insane really!
Might save up and get a 968 Clubsport instead, now they are wonderful cars ![]()

We could all list the colour and last 3 letters of the reg.
So if you saw a black e92 with DXB on the reg you would know it was carlos. Just an idea.

When I first had a Mini Cooper in 2002 they were still quite rare and drivers used to acknowledge regularly. Would be a pain now, waving every 5 seconds!

I think a new UK version E90POST.com window decal would be really cool. What we now need is someone with a good creative graphic arts eye to design a good UK style decal. Anyone? Some basic armature ideas: This one from the US is very cool:

Where it says Tri-State either have a little summary of the person, for example mine could say "The MG Driver"
