Default Another Year with the car and on the board

As of today I've had my current S2000 for 6 years.

It cost me £12995 in 2003 and has been a fantastic car.

Always fun, always a pleasure to drive and never caused me any problems or major expense. I've done 42,000 in the car which now has 102000 miles and is getting close to 10 years old.

And it's also my 7th birthday on here today. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun

I'm the same. Anything which is a big step up comes with such a jump in running costs I can't bothered.

S2000 is fun, the right size for the B-roads I drive on, and fast enough for me.

Exactley, all the new roadsters or sports cars seem too big, heavy with too many optional extra's to ruin the driving experience, they just seem to be missing the point of simple driving pleasure???

The only unspoilt roadster now is the MX5

Spring Spacers worked out well for me Ade. Brand new suspension on a 65k car and one seized arm changed FOC by Honda.
