A 2000 year S1 which I've had for 11 years now.
I use it pretty much 40/40 for commuting (my Wife tends to use the Bee Emm).
It was the "basic" model, but as time goes on and things break they get replaced by upgrades. as ironically the basic kit is more difficult to get...
So it's now running S2 111R Springs and Dampers (which killed a bit of float when going over crests), upgraded discs, braided hoses, a S2 Wiper amoungst others.
It's good to have a totally analogue experience in the modern world: no airbags; ABS; tracton control; central locking, electic windows. I have upgraded the stereo to one that plays USB sticks and has bluetooth, it does make phone calls a bit "tigger happy TV" - "HELLO I'M IN THE CAR, THAT'S WHY I'M SHOUTING OVER LOUD BRUMMING NOISES!" though...
Makes for a good benchmark for "normal" car handling.
