Default Traded in for something with 4 seats

So, after 5 years and 30,000 miles it was time for a change. Got a great px price considering it was 5 years older and twice the mileage than when I bought it. Practically depreciation free motoring! I'm just worried that I'll regret selling up. The S2000 is definitely a wonderful thing and if I had a double garage I would have kept it. I've had to outlay triple the value of the S2000 to get a decent upgrade!



Thanks for all the help from the forum over the years! Bye for now!

Right. I know that model rather well. Far too underpowered for the English roads...

Power wise it's definitely fast enough for UK roads, in fact I think the S2000 is all the power we really need. It's very difficult to use all of it without risking loss of licence or life!

Rear seats - well, let's call them large leather lined storage compartments with seat belts.

I didn't think I'd fall in love with the S2000, but it was such a pleasure to own and drive. I'll probably not be able to afford another one when I finally do get a bigger garage as good ones are only getting more expensive!
