Hi all, I'm not totally new here, but never actually introduced myself. I've recently received some good and very prompt help relating to my S3 109", so I'm sure I'll be back here, as there is always something going wrong with these old things!!!

Beaconsfield is quite an outing for the old series 3. When the lightweight was going, it felt, dare I say it...fast?...ok, maybe not fast, but nippy. The 2.6 S3, is sooooo slow, i think i need an overdrive, classic diffs, or an ashcroft high ratio conversion before I'll feel like taking it any distance.

mate - i went laning in the peak district - from here - with my 1958 series II. no overdrive, a 2.25 diesel, no roof, and no door tops.

48 mph all the way and much amusement on the way back when it started ****ing with rain

my god! I went to the auto jumble in Newbury recently in mine, and thought that was bad enough. By the time I got there it was time to come back.
I should be grateful for having doors and a roof though I guess!
