I am an embarassment to myself!

wonderful weather in paris over the last week...today must be about 80 degrees and clear blue skies. Had nothing better to do than to go for a drive.

Top down, windows down, shades on, driving up the champs elysees, and to my great surprise, saw another silver S2000 coming down the road in the opposite direction. This is the first time ive seen another stook on the road in Paris, certainly whilst ive been in my car, so thought it would be friendly to flash my lights and wave....

of course, in my rush i picked the wrong stick, and waved whilst squirting water on the windscreen and myself (top down, remember)...saw the other stook owner laughing as he passed!

my sophistication and coordination would seem to know no limits!

Don't worry, he probably didn't realize it was an accident. He probably just thought you were some crazy nut. Feel better?

LOL!

If I was the other S, I think I'd see you squirting yourself trying to tell me to watch out for the washer button!

If it was me, yeah I'd be suprised and shocked, then it would be laughing turning to embarrasment as I realize that I have to dry off the car
ROFL! that's funny Thanks for sharing that with us

I was gonna say something, but it might have come off as mean. So I'll laugh instead. LOL.

We all make mistakes sometimes. Some more than others. LOL

PariS2K,

That's pretty funny. I also get a bit excited to see a fellow s2000 owner on the road...

I'd say he was laughing because he remembers the last time he did it.

I went from a BMW to the S. Needless to say I had a very clean windscreen for the first few months of ownership

which color was the s2000?
It was certainly not me, cause I haven't seen any other s2000s, although I was in paris last week, but could be one of my best friends who bought a blk/blk

Well it might seem funnier if I hadn't done the same thing once. Now I just wave.

Buy some airhorns - there's less confusion that way
