Default Hello I'm the newboy!

Well the title says it all really. I bought myself an S2000 last night and what a lovely wee beasty she is. I thought this would be a fine and dandy starting place to meet good s2000 community like people.

I used to have a 450bhp Supra but that was like a giant money pit of doom and although a lot of fun just went really fast and that was about it so i've done that now. Now though I can put my top down, RAR!

I got myself a GT 2nd hand. All seemed fine when I test drive it, however on the drive home from Birmingham (I live in Bath) I noticed that when accelerating it pulls to the right and when taking my foot off the pedal it pulls to the left. This is only really only noticable when on the motorway. It seems to me its most likely drive train related and there is a rattle that seems to happen when the car is coming off power.

Still the point of this ramble was I was wondering if anybody knew of a good S2000 specialist close to Bath. I used to drive to Milton Keynes for my Supra so if theyre good I'm willing to drive a bit but I'd rather not have to do that again!

Blimey hark at me! I walk in the door and I'm begging already. So hello from your newest and friendliest leech type fellow!

Another satisfied owner. Always be safe and watch those wet roads you got over there. It can get loose on you.
Otherwise mate.
