All good things come to an end. Likewise, production of the S2000 also came to an end much against our desire that it be built into perpetuity. Our member aphex4000 decided to commemorate the demise of the S2000 by compiling a video entitled “The Last Run”. He downloaded all the video content from Honda’s website [...]

We often rejoice when our cars hit a high-mileage milestone in our cars. We celebrate this  achievement of undiluted “top-down” motoring by assigning badges and revel in the bragging rights acquired. It is no doubt a cause for celebration and motivates us and others to keep their cars longer and drive them more. I came [...]

Christchurch, New Zealand was devastated by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake. In this moment of loss and grief, we at S2KI stand by our members from the area and with the nation of New Zealand. Often times, it is easy to overlook that we are indeed an international community with clubs spanning the globe. The Australia [...]

This coming weekend, February 26, 27, and possibly 28th, we have planned a site software upgrade. This is a major upgrade years in the making and will cause significant disruption. I have been working for several months rehearsing and smoothing out many rough spots but no amount of preparation will make the transition effortless.

MTR CTY, an auto-related blog, posted a story about a driver driving top-down in blizzard conditions in Detroit. Subsequently, the story was picked up by Jalopnik and has since spread across the blogosphere. Typical comments have centered around how awesome it is to go out and do what no other person would even dare to [...]

For this week, we’ve dug up a video that was supposedly shown at the time the S2000 was launched. If that is indeed the case, then it appears that Honda had a premonition of the kind of roads on which the car would be driven and tried to subliminally influence all of us to stay [...]

Our member cod-head of the UK S2000 owners community recently started a thread describing his close call. It appears that he parked in a spot adjacent to his usual parking spot only to discover later (or the next day) that a tree landed in his usual spot. As you can see from the image below, [...]

Since I’ve started theS2000 Registry I’ve been lucky enough to meet, albeit on line, nearly 1,000 others who feel the same way and who are thrilled to belong [...]

Suzuka Circuit is hallowed ground for the Honda faithful. Designed in 1962 by Honda as a test track, the circuit’s appeal has endured through the last 49 years. Suzuka is host to the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix and is also famous as the proving ground on which Senna fine-tuned the NSX. With its complex [...]

In December of 2010, our friends at Car and Driver Magazine re-published their list of Top 10 cars from 2001 mentioning where those cars stood a decade later. Needless to say, the Honda S2000 made it to that list along with another Honda, the 2001 Accord.

Hot on the heels of the impending ninth-generation Civic come reports out of Japan that Honda has confirmed the manufacture and development of the next NSX. Rumors about an NSX redux have been doing the rounds for a while. You’ve probably read all about it by now. Takanobu Ito-san, when asked about an NSX replacement, [...]

You’ve probably all heard of the Austrian man who recently won a MINI by getting its name tattooed on his *****. Turns out his screams of anguish were broadcast over the radio as he underwent this procedure. Now before you start labeling all MINI drivers as that which we also call a quill, we want [...]

In all of racing history, the Honda flag never waved higher or prouder than it did during the years of 1988 to 1991. During this period, Honda supplied customer engines powered McLaren to the top courtesy of a certain Ayrton Senna who picked up all three of his world championships while driving Honda powered cars.
