Default Today I bought

An S2000

Think this is number 5 maybe 6.

Needed a run around for 9 ish months and thought I'd take a punt as I can't see it losing much value. It's a 2001 with 92k on it, so I'm hoping it doesn't blow up. Seems solid but needs the gearbox bearings doing.

Plus points are that I have a decent spares collection from the race car, and some bits I can put on this one like 05 headlights (these are misted quite badly) And might come in handy for robbing bits off the other way too

Quite nice to get back into a standard car. It's a lot quieter than my other one, but a lot slower 3 black cars now with the RR and V12S.

The temptation to mod will be strong, but must resist.

Needs a new drivers side seat in red if anyone has one?

Yup it had a new lid a couple of years back. New tyres / discs / pads all round and a long MOT too. Just the gearbox and the seat to sort out.

Oh and a new key fob thing. Can you DIY program them? Might need to dust off the FAQs...

You bloody nutter!

My other car is an S2000...

I cannot remember how you clone the transducers - I think an auto locksmith did it for me with the 'Lude.

I thought the last one was number 6 already!

Must feel weird driving a standard one again, I bet it feels all soft and floaty
