Anybody remember RedRover?
I was working at the dealership at the time he had the roadworthy certificate done. Also had the chance to meet the new owner. I think he's floating around on the boards somewhere too. Believe RR is in a Subaru nowadays.

Time to time I do check in on S2ki, most day to day chatter happens on Facebook pages. AUS S2k and for most of us in SEQld we have a group page, S2000 SEQ owners.
I've pretty well garaged and do 3-5k Km''s in the queen these days.

Can you recommend any Facebook Groups I should join? Starting to miss you lot. No where near as fun as the old boards. It's very hard to find posted content without scrolling throughout years of crap.

Wow it has been ages since I've been on here! Actually earlier this week was looking up s2000s on carsales, so hard to find an unmolested version.... And even harder to find a white (red seats) one..... Ahhhh one day!!
Current ride is a 2008 blue nissan navara. Where or where did my life take a turn for the worse. Lol!
Ps: thanks Mel s2o0o for the heads up!

I'm not on the list, but, "Hullo!"
I didn't know about Muz! Hope things are on the up and up for him.

Another few I forgot:
Easton Chang - I think he's still working in Auto photography.
StRAWBeRI - Ended up marrying Vuey (met through S2KI) and have now made a bebe. Very cute
Easton is very much a pro photographer!! Travels the world and has an amazing portfolio. I stalk him on Facebook.
I don't think he ever ended up in an s2k. Last time I caught up with him he still had his Smart Roadster. That was ages ago though.

Tbh the Facebook Aus S2k community, are just like you and I, search is for research, for that S2ki and Google are my best friends.
The posts though sometimes may be newbie, getting the right set of tyres or working out which wire goes where the owners want up to date and current info and access. Let's face it, what's in "search" may not be the best option at the time. My experience is that there is always a helping hand instantly in the feedback posts, that are current to the circumstances. Give it some time, lurk on the FB page and I bet you'll see the FB community in a different perspective. I like the speed that threads and posts move, reminds me much how S2ki was in its hey day. Btw most of the FB members do still have S2ki open in our browsers.

Update on Muz: The last 6 years he's been to HELL with Parkinson's Disease, 
but surprised to say he's coming back. 6 months ago he had a "rewiring of his brain" operation. 
You can actually see the wire tubing running down his neck, under the skin. Has an extra small box about the size of a packet of cigs under the skin just below the collar bone. This is some sort of regulator for brain impulses, may be in car terms like and ECU Hahahahaha.

Glad to hear he's on the mend

Hey hey, I'm still kicking around, still have my S2K and still love it like the day I bought it. It will be 10 years ownership in Nov and she still runs strong and looks great in pretty much immaculate condition still.
