nyargh! called my dealer in holland today to check on progress of my car and was told that it has been with them for 2 weeks!!

so the good news is that it's almost here, the bad news is I could have had it by now!



anyway they confirmed I am getting (i guess one of the last) 2001 models. I'm ok with that, the price was going to go up for the 02 and I'm not sure I like that letter box r/window...


sooooon..... soooooooooooooooooooooooon....

 

Congratulations!!... but talk about half soaked!

So when you likely to get it?

 

You do have to chase these Benelux dealers up a bit. They're more relaxed than us.

I wonder what that's about

 

Nooooo!!! How bad is that? Not to worry though, it will soon be in your hands for all that (after run-in) VTEC fun

What colour is this latest addition to the UK ranks?

Congratulations though!

 

Don't worry.... it will be worth the wait!!

 

Oh thats the other reason for buying it in the UK, them flatland dealers like to break the car in for you!

 

That would be funny, if there was no truth in it.

January 2002....the wait continues....

Often.

With a motorsport career that included winning the F2 championship with Honda power and spending three years testing McLaren Honda F1 cars with awesome 800 bhp V12 engines, I have enormous admiration for Honda engineering.

I chose the S2000 because of the excitement it generates whenever I get the opportunity to give it a blast. The layout is classic - front engine, rear wheel drive. It's snug, compact, nimble and, boy, does it go!

You will never, ever, have experienced a motor as sublime. Brace yourself for experiencing an out and out racing engine - in a production car. The Accord Type-R is remarkable enough; the S2000 is Honda at its very best.

240 bhp!! It's the most powerful car on the event. And the 2 litre super tuned engine just revs, and revs, and revs. To 9000 rpm! And then there is the 6 speed gearbox. Believe me, this is perfection. Like the engine, it's the best in the world.

Performance, of course, is blistering. 0 - 60 in 5.4 seconds and nearly 150 mph.

It's almost all too much. The superb Porsche Boxster sets a benchmark for great handling. Drive the S2000 on the track - and you'll find it's even better! Great brakes. Sharp turn in. The delight of controlling progressive power-induced oversteer.

Even hardened professional racing drivers just adore it!"
