Hello from me!
I bought an S2 license way back in 2005, just before finishing university, getting a job and therefore having no time to play any games. I also remember the sound in the game being a little buzzy and I didn't play a lot of LFS after the initial "honeymoon period".
A change of job, more free time, and finding out that the newest version has sound editing capabilities means I've downloaded S2 once more, dug out my old activation details, had a play, and been **mega** impressed all over again. The sense of immersion and feel from the car is fantastic. I shall be sticking around this time!
