My bro...its a little cruel to post these things in November when we are freezing to death in the north.

 

Mine went up on the lift for the long nap just yesterday. Won't show it's face for at least 5 months now.

 

Yeah, sadly I gotta get both of mine set up for storage.

 

Spotted today by another member in Toronto. White on top she ain't coming down anytime soon.

 

Give him a break. In FL he's just getting over his season of bad weather that prevents one from enjoying a convertible. Finally able to go for some top down drives.

 

This happens to me more often than not lately when I take mine out. Surprised the reactions most of the time and it's a little weird to be at a stoplight and the person next to me puts the window down and starts talking about it. I'm in NC so will have enough days warm enough for top down driving with a hat, gloves and a warm coat.

 

My days are numbered here before storage time. The other day the UPS guy was yelling nice ride to me at the light. It seems these cars are gaining a solid classic status now.

 

I do feel for you folk, I REALLY do.

Here in South East Queensland, Australia, some years we will get a few frosts in winter, but not most. Winter days are usually around 20 C, [68F], & mostly dry & sunny, with light winds.

Summer can get a bit hot, but if you keep the air conditioning in good order, & wear a cap it is fine. Best a long sleeve shirt, if out all day to avoid sun burn, but S2000 can be enjoyed 24/7 365 here,.... apart from the odd cyclone.

 

Well you don't have to feel TOO bad for some of us. California has the best weather in the country. I just happened to run into a couple from Finland who came to the northern California what was to be a two year stint in tech. They never left and now live full time near Donner Pass in the Sierras. They said they were blown away with the geography and climate. (No comment on the taxes).

You can drive in groves of giant Sequoias, along Highway One for endless miles of ocean views, vineyards of multiple wine counties, the Sierra Nevada, coastal ranges, raging rivers, volcanic parks, Death Valley, the list goes on and on.

I might add that we thoroughly enjoyed driving in Australia a few years back, from Sidney to the Hunter Valley as well as Tasmania. Unfortunately, we did not have an S2000 to drive!


















By the way, that is PART of a tree trunk you see to the left of my wife in this picture!
