Ok Lee, it was just based on other PD130 they never make more than 170 odd safely from two I've seen.

It's a class act on the motorway, thats why there's a million of the little parasites on the motorways everyday. I'd prefer to travel in the S, but alas it's too costly for me as a 20k a year commuter :-)

Can't disagree with that, boils done to how much money you can afford.

At the moment I'm waiting on my sister having a job interview tomorrow and the result within 48hrs. If she gets the job she buys my Dads little 1.4 Polo, if not I shall be buying it off him. It's only a little 1998 run around, but it's only done 38k miles and has just had a service and MOT, even better the insurance with my name on it as a driver was only renewed a couple months back so no need to get it insured my end.

My 6k Honda convertible has been bettered on the long boring roads by the fab mid range rubbish PD's. I won't bankrupt myself commuting in an S. I firmly believe with all the crap going on with recession etc the S is better owned as a weekender. Each to their own... I want a track Honda and that's what I'm saving for :-)

That's tweaked, 60bhp it's rocking. It's not the best motorway cruiser, but it's a known entity so unlikely to pop up any unexpected surprise. I'll be happy to leave it parked where ever and if get's keyed or dented, I'll not be overly bothered. I'll have been in worse cars! Some of the ambulances I drive are far worse!

They offered her the job dammit :suspect: , and the Octavia vRS was sold last night. Back to the drawing board!

I hadn't driven the s2000 in a week due to being off work, and it's defiantly nicer when it's not used as a DD thats for sure, even the drone that annoyed me usually, you don't really notice.

:tipwink: Put a db killer in one side then at weekends take it out

Just my 2 cents worth,

I was running the S2000 as a daily and my partner has a fabia vrs running a stage 1 re-map from performance torgue in coventry (176bhp and 60 mpg!) Ive now bought a 2004 honda accord estate for £2.5k with 140 k miles on the clock and that's about to go in for a re-map with the same place and they reckon that will run at about 190bhp with approx 55 mpg...

I can STRONGLY recconmend either of these options....

Two of us living together...three cars on the drive...one for all occasions :)

I will admit that on occasions I still use the S2000 as a daily...but only when its gonna be fun :)
