Classic Car Article RS2 v M5 touring

Post by alastairg » Sun Jan 07, 2007 7:51 am

Just a heads up to a decent article in this months Classic Car. A first for the RS2 and about time.
Not very original as one of the BMW mags did the same comparison with cars supplied by lhd specialist mcp also. Choose the RS2 as the best of the two!!
Again the usual errors about the car. 'magnesium calipers' '245 section tyres'
About time a definative article was written correcting some of the myths...
RS2 'an estate car named Desire'

Thank you - that page was down when I tried, so I emailed them and it's back up-and-running. It's a good read, and the expression 'integrale estate' has stuck in my mind. I recognise 'An estate car named Desire' - is there another article of that title?

See http://www.ableitet.no/artik.htm great set of the 'classic' performance car reviews & a really good one similar to above from BMW magazine (bit too similar me thinks) http://mmm-five.net/Articles/files/BMW% ... %20RS2.pdf
