Its not THAT bad. The reggy plate and wing dont help. The splitter / colour coding are not too awful.

Does look pretty nedded up though.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear..... If you don't think that completely vile, there's no way I'd let you opine on my home furnishings...

Hey ho - taste is a personal thing, I suppose

No JJ it is that bad

The engine with the NOS might be interesting, but the rest of it looks like poo!

I'm sure that's not the first time I've seen it advertised on eBay either....

Was waiting for a dig. Thanks for not disappointing.

Its a red S2 - exterior changes look to be colour coded, a silly wing, and a front splitter. Is that really that, as you put it, vile? Hardly overboard. Sh1t, yes, but hardly overboard.

I never mentioned the interior, apart from saying the whole thing looks nedded up.

Oh and it was on the autotrader at........ £24k a few months back!

Like I say dude - taste is a personal thing... If you want a detailed breakdown of what I hate, then here we go:

Colour coding - the LAST thing an S2 needs. The slats were slated as crap and '80s Ferrari when it was launched and I still agree. Colour coding makes them even more prominent and even more faux nasty-Ferrari.

Splitters can look cool on an S2 - that's a snowplough. No cohesiveness with the rest of the design.

Wing..... Well, we're agreed.

I have to say that I didn't get as far as the interior. Taking a second look - it's sh*t.

As for the dig - FFS lighten up. I only mentioned your profession, as you're a designer - it's what you do. Or are we not supposed to mention that at all?

If this offends you, feel free to get torn into me with whatever you want - out here and in the open. I have no problems with folk digging at me on 'tinternet - I get it almost every day on here and I take it in the manner it's intended.

Brilliant, is that the internet equivalent of "GEEZ A SQUARE GO".

Guess I should have thrown in some smileys for you after my first sentence, seeing as how they are the deciding factor of whether or not someon is being serious.

Back in your box, I am off to look for NAAWZZZ KITS.

In all seriousness yeah - it would have helped. The shorter the sentence, the more ways there are to interpret it.
