Nice insight mate, I actually clapped eyes on an S1 for the first time about 3-4 months ago if my memory serves me right and I was actually quite impressed to see it. Something far more interesting that the usual Audi offering. I'm glad you enjoy it. Sorry mate but couldn't disagree more. I did see you commented on the thread we spoke about e92 BMW's, and I'm afraid most things old and japanese aren't even remotely in the same league. BMW isn't marketed as the ultimate driving machine for no reason. I'd have an e92 M3 over any old japanese car every single day of the week. Also an M3 is widely known as a far better drivers car than a c63 amg so I dont know how you can say mercs have drivers cars and BM's don't. M3's are pretty much the bench mark in standard that any fast coupe has to aim for, theres a reason for that.
