Hi Guys - New S2000 Owner from the UK
Hi Guys,
After around three years of pondering over the S2000 and a lot of debate over whether I should have it as a primary daily driver or a weekend car I have finally bit the bullet and purchased a 2003 Honda S2000! The car will be my secondary car, with the intention of using it as my weekend/fun car, as well as taking it to a few track days each year.
Below are a few pictures I took of the car after bringing it home for the first time:
And here it is next to my daily driver:
It is almost completely stock, the only noticeable mods I have found so far are the aftermarket aerial and stereo head unit- both of which are things I shall rarely use! I do have the original aerial but it got pecked quite badly by a bird, or maybe nibbled by a monkey at the zoo!
There are a few little scrapes on lower section of the front bumper area, where a previous owner parked a little too close to a kerb which was a little too high, easily done and I am not too fussed by the marks, maybe I will get them looked at at some stage but definitely no biggie for me.
I am hoping to take the car round the Castle Combe track on the 14th of May for Jap Day, will give me a chance to get a feel for how the car handles at speed. So far I have been driving very delicately round the bends as this is my first ever RWD car!
Thanks for reading my post - I look forward to chatting with you guys. This is where the adventure begins!

Thanks, Cevin! Nice! I see from your sig you drive an S4, they are amazing machines. 
Mine is a A5 S-Line 2.0 TDI 177PS, a pretty nice balance between power and economy. Though now I am more used to the S2k, it feels soooo slow and heavy! Haha.
Hi UK Paul, Welcome back to the club! You will have to post some pics of your new purchase once you have picked it up.
