I hate to brag, but we have 5 where I work:
  • 3 Silvers
  • 2 MC Blues

Be nice to see a greater spread of colours. We are not quite sad enough to line them all up in the car park....yet; if we do I'll submit photographic evidence!

I should also have mentioned that there are 5 that I know of at work as well!..... 2 Silverstones, 1 Black, 1 MC Blue and my Nurburgring Blue!......

There are at least another 2-3 guys on here (other than csstzni) that live close to Ealing!.

Sayin all that I still see far more Boxsters on the way to work! ;-)

Have seen an increase in our area since the end of the summer, surprisingly. Strange ....

I know of 4 in Shrewsbury (pop 70,000) - 3 Silverstone and I Black... a white import in Church Stretton (pop 4,000), and then Matt's Black plus another couple in Telford (pop 110,000) so that's maybe 8 to 10 amongst a population of 200,000.

Very occasionally I see another 02 silver around here...we always wave

OTOH - did 450+ miles to N Cornwall last weekend - nary a one.
Although I did trail a beautiful new black Carrera Coupe at one stage.

Oh, the demographic and statistical joy this thread suggests

After SM2 Mrs. W and I were trying to guess the DINKi (Dual Income, No Kids) ratio of those who attended. We suspected very high. In addition, from dinner conversations, we seem to be fairly well represented by the IT industry. No surprises in either I guess.

My guess would be the highest S2k density would be in and around London. Living here, I am still very pleased to say we are still pretty rare/exclusive, which is just fine by me. On average I see a couple of S2K's a day, even allowing for the ones at work as we are all on the road a lot. TT's and Boxters on the other hand really are 10 a penny.

Smug in my exclusivity,

Paul Weller

I'm a DICK (Dual Income Couple of Kids)

I'm reliably told there are now 3 Nurbs in or around Sunny Scunny, One of which has the plate S2000 GT I would luv that plate.
