just to add and in support of the above comments I have been involved in forums for MGRover (Xpower), Vauxhall Astra 888 (AON), Seat, Skoda, Audi, Freelander 2, Caravan Club, and probably others long forgotten. A2OC sits at the very top in terms of enthusiasm, support, manners and general activity. It still amazes me that 10 years after production ceased how many active members there are and how many comments are posted. My daily drive is now an leggy and miley A6 however whenever possible I sneak the keys of the A2 and give it a blast to remind myself what sheer fun they are. Unfortunately SWMBO also has ideas about a Beetle to replace the A2......
