Default Bye bye S2K

After 18 months I eventually lost the love for my Indy yellow s2000. A car I thought id keep for ever and loved driving I actually grew to hate and it just wasn't fun any more.

So after a bit of dealing we parted company and I've gone to the dark side of Nissan.

I'll still lurk and I'll still be on admiring the s2000's as much as ever. But for now I just needed away from hondas altogether!!

Cracking bit of fun those 200's. Controllable and a right laugh! You may be back one day to endure the VTEC snarl, I came back after 6 years of a 2 year ownership with an '00 Silverstone, and love my Berlina s2000.
Get that reg plate un-chavved!

Oh I'll be back, Honda is in my blood, always has, always will be.

I've the private plate off the s2000 to go on, but I don't know how long I'll keep it as I really want a clean s15.

I also forgot how costly running a turbo car was....... Thank god for the runabout!!! Lol
