Hey Dan

At least you got good use out of the S and had lots of fun in the short time you had it. Seems like the decision is made on the R33. Good luck and hope you enjoy it. You're plenty young enough to have another S in the future.

Any chance of a noisy sideways pax lap in the new beast sometime?

Oh dear lord no .. either go R32 or R34 .. just leave the 33 as it's FAR too common.

And don't get a non-GTR .. the others are pony.
Amen to that!

Puppy, didn't know you, thought you were a bit excitable, but a nice chap all the same

Sounds like you wanted more power - I think forced induction on the S2000 can be a bottomless pit and maybe a good decision to buy something already turbo'd.

When you say 'as well as she drives', does this include all those threads on here about spinning into pavements, f cking up the geo, banging panels, CEL lights?
