Default There's life in the old dog yet

Hi everyone, I'm Dave, an Australian living in Holland and I've just bought an early S2000 from a mate. Its not the finest example but I think I can have some fun with it. Briefly;

MY2000, RHD.
200,000km / 120,000mi
Dodgy idle
Fair bit of shudder under firm acceleration, I guess CV cups.
Gearbox seems pretty balky to me, no experience of others though.
Bodywork pretty straight, paint slightly dull

So there will be a few jobs to do, but its usable as is for now.

Of course from the day I get it we have continuous steady rain now forecast for a few days so there won't be much top down driving for a while. Doh.
