Default Bye bye S2000.



My S2000 has gone.

4 years of trouble free ownership and joy with this car.

A superb driving experience due to the excellent engine, gearbox and mechanicals.

She never missed a beat and will be sadly missed.

She was given a good send off with a long blast around the local B roads and I will miss that engine note, the "snick, snick" gearbox, strong brakes and general feel of a true sports car.

The looks of this car are also fantastic.

Hopefully, her new owner will love and cherish her as much as I did.

Strange how you can get so attatched to a car.

I've had .... and sold .... two S2000's ..... all I would say is that there is room in my life for just one more.... and I am certainly not unhappy with it's replacement; a Golf GTi ...

Enjoy the CTR .... but don't be surprised if thoughts of another S2000 creep back into your mind at fairly regular intervals

As a sign of respect for your loss everyone should lower their roof and go for a blast!
