Default Moved to the UK last year. I miss my S!

I've been around this forum for a while and don't post much. I moved to the UK from Southern Indiana just over a year ago. My job sets me up with cars. Due to existing corporate leases for people that leave my business, I "get" to drive quite a few different vehicles for periods of over 2 months. In short....man do I miss my S. My buddy in Cinci bought my 2002 Sebring. It was set up nicely with the items listed in my signature. Technically, I still own the car....but he's making payments to me as I live abroad.

I've had a BWM 320d, Audi A6 2.6 diesel estate (station wagon), BMW120d, and a couple of other that aren't worth mentioning.

I hate diesel, but that's the norm here. I love the 120d. The 1 series that will be sold in the US will be sweet. The 320d is nice, but not exciting. The A6 drives like a tank.

In short....yes, this post is worthless. I had to get this off my chest. I MISS MY S2000! I'm either going to buy another S when I return as a daily driver, get my old car back, buy a 2006 M3, or buy something reasonable and an S2000 as a 3rd car. The other option is to sell my soul to the devil for an '08 M3.

35k pounds. When you're being paid USD that is nearly $70k for an S2000. Love the car, but not that much.

Not a worthless post at all. There will be plenty of cheap S2000's for you when you get home

Hey Purdue, who did you "sell" the S2K to in Cincy? Does he hang out here on the site? We have a pretty active group here in the Cincinnati area. Maybe we know him already, maybe not.

Are you getting paid in US dollars in UK?
