Wow, so you have 2, and are getting a third? How fun. Very envious!

What are the specs of your current 2? Are you looking for a specefic car/combo for the 3rd?

No measure on the fun with each mile tho. Well worth it.

Don't let this one go! It's a gem! Don't worry about the mileage. Just keep it stored and maintained correctly and you'll be good.

I enjoyed reading your story, welcome back! 3rd time's a charm indeed, don't sell this one! 2nd time was a charm for me, only thing I miss as Mocky said is having a soft top to go up/down on the fly. But, I learned my lesson, not selling this one

Very true my friend... no intention of ridding of this one. It's a true 'keeper.I'm very thankful the previous owner was a meticulous as I am, which, as several people know, is pretty much over the top. Appreciate the kind words!

Thank you for the kind words! I vaguely remember you potentially having a GPW/Tan 05, no? I could be way off. Very envious of the CR. It's a beautiful car with true collector status. Keep it shiny side up!

I did have an '05, but it was a Silverstone/Black. Sold it to buy a home back in '08 and regretted it and missed it for years afterwards. I was glad to get back in the saddle in 2012 when I picked up my CR. Obviously we're all fan boys here, but I really believe there isn't another car like the S2000 for the price that you can find.

I'm about half-way through the full detail. Although this car was spotless, it's my true intention to bring it back to 'showroom'. I've washed, clayed, and done some chip fix/wet-sanding to the exterior. Completed the seats-out detail of the interior this weekend, and that's looking phenominal. When I return to the country on Friday, I'll begin the exterior paint correction. Sorry for the iPhone photo's below. When the car is 'back to new', I will break out the DSLR.

Here's some photo's of the interior at 'Leatherique soak' stage, carpet cleaning, and finally seat-reinstallation. If you've not used Leatherique before, I use it on my M3, religiously, and it returns the seat to 'new' condition. No wear on the bolsters, at all.

Finally, did a little glamour shot with the other classic in the garage.

I'm thinking the caption of this one should be....so three Germans and an Asian walk into a garage....

I couldn't agree with you more on the aforementioned. It's just that good....

That being said, I can't imagine how good that CR is! I've never driven one!

I like red or yellow. I have never had either of those colors. Probably leaning towards Yellow since I am an Iowa Hawkeye ( sorry to OSU fans). Ill probably keep the yellow one at my house in Iowa for game days.
AP1 and AP2 are what I have now. Nothing exciting about specs except FIPK on silver and both have all new sound systems with a sub snuggled in the trunk jack pack area.

Hmmm... I might need to look into this. Not for the S (obviously). My TSX drivers seat needs some TLC. I'm using Leather Master and it cleans the seats up but it's not getting the creases out of the bolsters.
