Default Greetings from a First-Timer

Hello all. I've already posted a question or two leading up to my purchase, but my first S2000, a 2004 bone-stock silver model, is now all mine. Some brake work and detailing is in the near future, and probably a paint job (no major problems, just 6 years of use) is in the distant future.

I only have a couple cell phone photos so far, but I can't post them now cuz "personal storage" sites are blocked here at work. I intend to get some better quality ones soon.

The three biggest observation I've made so far: 1)The thing is a blast to drive, 2)I need to lose some girth to be more comfortable in the seat, and 3)The roof cover is a PITA to install.

BTW, I live in SW Ohio, so let me know if there are any local gatherings coming up!

-Tom

Nice, congrats on the purchase. Most people dont even worry about the roof cover most of the time. It doesnt really do much so its not really worth the effort. Post up those pics!

I like the looks of the cover, but I think I agree that it's not worth the effort.

I'll try to get some pics up tonight when I get home.

Girth, the eternal enemy of an S2000 driver.

I haven't used the cover but maybe 5 times for pictures.

Welcome.
