Heh... flattered Scott, I am. Lord knows I do strive to put the //S in
//Silly! Stuck around to read junk from 'lil 'ole me??? FOOL! 8-)
Been a wild and wondrous ride here these 5+ years of Listdom, certainly.
While some may cringe at the NACness to some of it, at the very least
hopefully it's entertaining. I'm good for something (? my wife might
disagree?). Unfortunately most of what I'm good at is, well, JNR.
Totally agreed with all points you make below and made beforehand.
Reality is time marches on and cars age and come and go. I always found
my 1+ UrS6 sufficient for what it was and unnecessary to go RS2 or
beyond. Last thing I needed was for it to be "faster". And then there
comes a time to replace it. Kid seats and shiftless wife (was that out
loud?) dictated my latest choice - a car with a "real suspension" - I
nearly pissed meself when you wrote that about going from C4 to B5.
Totally!
I'm really intrigued by the S60R idea as well. And IPD and others make
it tuner friendly. Could be potent. No Torsen tho Scott???(!!!)
BWhahhaahaaaa - speaking of... Darin replied below to my earlier post
today - nail / head! Too funny:

I'm thinking about putting a Torsen in my
Scirocco...... (that ought to be enough to give poor Justy a
seizure!) ;-)

Paulie:
One of the few reasons I stayed subscribed all these years was
to read your comparos and great stories. Which brings me full circle to
the point of agitating some of the bees in/under various bonnets here...
As we watch miss piggy age, she's getting old. She's still a great
romp, and also a great comparo to some of the responses to the previous
self constructed S car desires.
To wit, I drove a stock and a tweeked S60R in the last couple
months. 300hp out of the box, 2.5.liter motor, 4 piston brakes front
and rear, phenom handling, and with the decked out leather and carbon
fiber interior, just awesome cockpit. A great qship for sure, and a
real looker, and that GPS rising from the dash: Priceless
Mike P has already moved to other toys, RX8 (er, not pretty
trying to get out of the steamboat lot tho mikey), Cayenne... Paulie
jumping to the S8, Pizzo, well ok best stop....
What I see this list evolving to as miss piggy loses her
attraction, is some of the more seasoned tweeksters putting up the
stories of 'other rides', compare them to the S if that is needed to
stay on topic. Frank A used to do it here, and Paulie, I still await
your next adventure in automotive deviant behavior. Don't ignore the
M5, or the S60R or the neu v8 series S cars, compare them to a known
entity. It doesn't at all diminish the mistress in the garage, it can
actually make her easier to justify a great romp in/on.
So Hap, Mike, Dawson et. al.... I encourage you to open up the
mind to accepting the reality that the days of Miss Piggy have given way
to some fine machines that may or may not have rings attached. My
latest flogging of a 951 reaffirmed my belief that the fun of quattro
mistress is, the ability to critically compare all high perfomance
machines at a much more educated level. Why? Because miss piggy all
dolled up raises the bar high enough to be really good at telling
stories about what lies on the other side of the pen.
No need to justify the dump of a college fund into Miss Piggy,
IMO. I've seen for years, still do. Riding her hard, doesn't at all
mean it needs to be at the expense of a lot of good dancers on the floor
around you. Those are the stories I want to hear. And I'll be the
first to thank Paulie for the laughs in the process...
Just my .02

I'm still sitting here *loving* Scott "out of der
closet" at the mere mention of "Scirocco!" and full of recent inspired
prose. Someone else chime Scirocco again when he ostrich's once more,
yes?
Keep up the good work Scott... great reads. Good to
have you "back". Don't go and ostrich on us again now 8-). You even
managed to "out" a recently more quiet Hap. Rod next maybe??? Heh
heh...
