here's an idea
Since the first one has been damaged and is essentially a "salvage" car, you can send it to me. I'll pay shipping.
Seriously though, glad to hear the news. The S2 was too beautiful to scrap, even with the damage. I assume they are repairing it without paying you anything, so you basically bought an extra car?

Fetched the S2 on Friday. Wow, I forgot how fun it was to drive. Very different from the 968. The 968 is a 'heavier' car to drive compared the S2, I keep breaking the tail out on corners and spinning the wheels on pull-offs. Sadly, though, I will sell her... The car are so different and swapping back and forth will get me into trouble.

Hi, great to see you got the car fixed by the eager panel beater!
I was just in Jo'burg for a layover last week and enjoyed a quick lunch in Sandton. Great weather and some impressive cars zooming about!
You should hang on to the S2 for awhile until you decide what you really want to do long term. I've had 2 cabs for 8 years now and really miss having a coupe to play with.

it still bugs me that i sold my brother my slate gray S2 to get my first turbo.
If i was going into a dealer in 89 i am pretty sure i would have gotten a gray one.
now i have to settle with a pink err i mean burgandy err i mean velvet 951.
I was driving the S2 yesterday at a slightly lower altitude wondering why i got the turbo to replace the S2. It is so balanced. Maybe nobody will buy it and my wife will start driving it. I offered it to her with or without the goodies if she would use it for PCA events.
