biker1,

Couldn't agree more.

We've only just bought our S2K and I can't believe the amount of time I have been able to drive with the roof down.

I hope it stays this way.

Tony

P.S. Sunday today and the weather forcast looks good. I wonder what I'll do

Gents, I couldnt agree more.
Ive only had mine for a couple of weeks and I have driven it with the top down for most of the time (very lucky with the weather so far).
We spent Saturday driving through the country and soaking up the atmosphere......utterly fantastic, even the cow pats smell better on days like these...lol
The reactions of pedestrians and other drivers is amazing, people just stop and stare.
I hear the A686 has been voted one of the 10 best roads for driving in the world...Ill have to pay it a visit this summer.

God I love this car

I am so glad that I spent the time over the past two weekends to get the Zaino on my car. I can highly recommend this, not only because it makes the car look great, but it also makes the paint feel like glass. Bugs wust wipe off so well. Had a great weekend with the roof down!

Nick,

I have read lots about Zaino on the various forums and this ambined with your comments does suggest to me that this stuff is the dogs.......

Where did you get yours from - I see you are in Eastbourne, thats only 25mins from me in West Hoathly - I dont suppose you have a local source? Can life really be that simple!

Many thanks
Ian

Nick,

I'm also interested in this Zaino stuff so if you do know of a supplier in the UK then please let me know.

I checked Zaino's web site and they have some comprehensive instructions. How long did it take you to go through the initial cleaning/waxing process and how much time do you spend a week, on average, maintaining the look of your car?

Off the M6 through Cumbria.
G.M.T.V. did a big article on it the other day.
It looks perfect for a good S2000 blasting session.
Only problem is the rest of the country know about it now

I purchased from America direct because the European agent was very expensive. I emailed Sal Zaino with my order and he gave me the shipping costs for the order. I had to send a $ money order but this can be ordered from your bank's foreign department (cost me
