Nice plates but defo illegal (font/size) quite apart from the spacing of course. Do you have a set of MOT-passing plates S200 DSE ready made up in correct font/size? Plod usually don't mind spacing but that font looks too like S200 OSE (IMHO). Cedric?

Hello Last Man Standing - It looks like a beauty. I have fallin in love with S2ks and am in the hunt for one.

I don't know but yours looks very new and shiny so I may not be able to afford it. . What year is it?

If you want you can reach me at: dwise@witness.com
and let me know what you are thinking in terms of price.
Cheers,
David

good news good news

the old S has been long gone (as you can tell by the post date)

I have now had the house nearly 3years and guess what...

'05 S2000GT now sits on the drive

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

and i did trade the old 'un in for a Skoda Fabia vRS 130bhp TD - which i still have - traded my 1.4 fiesta for me new S and oh boy I can't keep the smiles from me face.


oh, and i may be loitering around here again from now on...
