Default Bermuda

Visiting my son in Bermuda today through Christmas holidays. One thing is for sure. There are no S2000's here! Consider yourself lucky, i guess. You don't live in paradise, but you do get to drive an S2000! I guess the world is full of tradeoffs!

They only allow certain sizes and brands of autos in Bermuda. They just recently let the Honda CRV come into the country. Roads are narrow and they drive on the wrong side of the street. The S would qualify size wise, but they would be so expensive here that no one would want one. Vehicles are limited so most people get a family type vehicle. A Honda CRV for example goes for over $50,000. So, i consider myself lucky to have an S and live in the States. BEautiful place here, but even if you had an S, you couldn't VTEC it because the speed limit is only 20! And there are no straithaways to goose it on.

Beautiful place. I went about 8 years ago. What are gas prices like now days? It was around $4.50/gallon when I was there.

Gas prices are over $6.00 a gallon, but most business men ride their scooters to work to save on gas. My son has worn out two scooters since he has been there (6 years). Salt water is hard on vehicles.

The scooters were such a cool part of Bermuda to me. They were an awesome way to view the island.
