One was me (I think!).

I had a black S2000 behind me coming off the M3 last weekend but no wave/lights flashing or anything.

Do you guys acknowledge other S2000 owners for their "good taste" in choosing such a great car?

Aside from the Cotswolds meet i have only stumbled across one S2o00 on the road and we exchanged waves...

As the car is pretty rare and (IMHO) goes against the conventional roadster wisdom (buy a Z3, MX5, Boxster etc.) I kind of expect S2000 owners to be enthusiasts and be on the lookout for one another. I will always wave to anyone I see in one!

Yeah - exactly my feelings although S2000's are getting really common here in Fleet - 3 x black, 3 x Silver to my knowledge!

"Enthusiast" sums it up I guess. I love the S2000 because it is something special - you cant move in Fleet for Boxsters, Z3s, MX5s etc.

Hello fellow Hampshire dwellers.

I live in College Town (technicaly Berkshire) and got my 2002 S2K on order, so hopefully will see you all at some meets next year.

Here on the flat plains of Cheshire, there are a handful of S2000s that I regularly spot. Sadly, as Tifosi noticed, they don't receive a lot of attention amidst the Ferraris, Lambos, Porshe, etc. That can be a good thing as well as a bad thing, though, as your pride-and-joy is less likely to get unwelcome attention from jealous-types, etc.

Yes, I normally wave/flash/parp at others.

Sometimes one gets a reply, but rear 3/4 vision is bad, so some owners probably don't notice til its too late.

Either that or the airhorns scare them!

Hahaha - airhorns? Serious? Cool.

Black/Black is also cool and the best colours IMO

Hello all,

Camberley boy here, silver with red leather on a y plate. Often in Fleet (bought from Fleet Honda) and Sandhurst so if you see me give us a wave.
Did wave not so long ago to a black, not sure if it was any of you?

Anthony
