Default Double Trouble

Well I bit the bullet and just picked up an '04 C4S to keep the '04 C2 Cabriolet company. Should make for a great year round driving experience.

Atlas Grey metallic on black. Sport Techno wheels with Sumis. Car has 99k km (62k miles) and has has absolutely everything done mechanically including new brakes 2k ago. Hard to find a good one but worth the wait when you do.

Picking her up tomorrow and the new plates are in my hand right now.

Was Juan's, now mine. Don't know how many pastel yellow turbos were ever made but can't be many so a rare find for him. Very nice car indeed and he's been looking for a long time. Finally was my chance to get a great C4s. We've been talking about this for a year at least and my test drive was back at the beginning of June.

Engine mounts are new. Needs some tip adjustment though for sure. This car literally feels brand new.

Congrats and you are going to love choosing which car to drive for the day. I have one of each in MY 2004 and they are both optioned almost identically, M030 sport suspension on the C2, touring suspension on the C4S, both with sport exhaust etc. etc. C2 is my thrill car, C4S is the road trip beauty.

Had to face this dilemma today when I wanted to take the C4S out for the first real drive. Mrs Water Hound was quite nonplussed by this because it was a beautiful sunny day here on the Wet Coast. Ended up having to make the ultimate sacrifice and drove both. She really doesn't care for the new car yet though, claiming that "if the roof doesn't go down it's just like any other car". WTF? For me, however, it's going to be a real challenge to decide as I love them both. They're surprisingly different cars to drive and both have their distinct appeals. Like silotwo, both are my2004, both with great suspension.
