jeezus... that's pretty intense.

How goods the safety on the car? Accident like that and the cabin looks OK. The original white's are getting rarer...

Dare I say it, but provisional drivers shouldn't be allowed to drive S2000s.

^ I agree mate there's been a few s2000's in the paper like that and they all seem to be p platers. By the way it looks very similar to the white s in carsales for $19500 in fact I would say its probably it as Fairfield west is only a stones throw from cabramatta

I'm only a year off my Ps and honestly if I was still on my Ps I'd say i might have gotten into a bit of trouble with the s2k, especially in the wet. Its not just the lack of driving skill, but also the mentality that is causing these drivers to end up in or around poles

I couldn't agree with you more ryanskies. The wrong/bad attitude will always get you into trouble. Add to that the lack of experience and skills driving on a public road - even add a dash of water - and the S2000's "personality", and there's a big chance for an accident.

Im still on ps and the s2k is real dangerous to drive even under normal circumstances. It should be banned on rta not for its straight line but it handling characteristic. I saw 8 s2k in 2 wreckers in sydney and only in the smithfield area too. . .

Maybe its natures new version of natural selection. Modern medicine has allowed squeezers to live for longer so something has to give. Final destination if you will.
