Evenin' all, been a while...

So after making a very bad call and nearly killing myself in my 02 S2k, I'm soon to be back on the road and hoping to collect this one soon. Anyone recognise?

AutoTrader <<-- Advert.

EDIT: Advert now off AutoTrader at my request, as deposit paid. Here's the original from their own site:

Thanks in advance.
Al.

Looks nice at first glance but I don't recognise it.

Try not to kill this one...

Good memory sir. Yup, lesson learned. Straight = throttle. Corners = Slow in.

It's not very local for me. 465 miles, just up the road. So I'll be inspecting either this weekend or taking a day off next week to go see.

One of the nicest colours that, top money though but as prices have taken a jump recently it's all good, good luck with it

Bit of a PITA to get to, I lived around the corner from there when I was at University.

Looks like a nice car.

Local(ish) to me. About half an hour away. I travelled 360 miles to get my car.

Looks nice and clean!

I travelled 500 miles for my one a couple of years ago. Pity this is just round the corner at 135Miles.
Not many good ones around..

Thanks. Stunning colour I think. Was either going to be this, the slightly lighter metallic, or black with part red interior. And I've been watching the market ever since I lost my last one. What I got around 1½ years back is now 3k more, and with double the miles!

Does look tidy. I'll be giving it a proper once over when I fly up. SkyScanner time...

Was toying with the idea of driving it home, but I'd rather not. Measely 80 quid for a BA flight up, and around 350 I've been quoted so far to transport it back down. Does look fairly tidy so far. Cheers.

Thanks, been waiting ages for another one to come around. Been a few, and if I wait any longer then these will get up to 20k!?
I hear that red is the faster colour though?
