Default The ex-owners thread

If this has been done then sorry etc..

After seeing some 'the s is gone' threads, thought it might be interesting to have a list of ex-owners and what cars they left their S2000 for. I'll keep this thread up-to-date(ish) and could be useful for others to know once they decide to move on and how others have faired.

Dracoro (that'll be me!) - Westfield SEiW 2.0 16v - wanted faster, more pure, unadulterated fun
rralston - TVR Tuscan
Gsi - BMW Z3M - fancied change/wanted more go
Steve54 - TVR T350
JamesM - Porsche 911 (996 IIRC) - to get away from that whole PM malarkey probably
Gazzer - Jaguar XKR coupe - coz he always wanted one
AlexC - TVR Tamora
Tiff - Porsche 911 (996)
Frenchie - Peugeot 806
VTECAZ - TVR Tamora
SandyS2K - Lotus Elise S160 - raw edge, better steering
Prestonian - scooter, no need for car
Mole - VW Golf R32 - More space
uktrucks - Porsche 911 GT Turbo
BigTed - Taxi's - No parking space in HK
simmo - Toyota Yaris - Insurance, costs
Roadkill - Lexus IS200 - Kid on way, promise of elusive '2nd series' aha!
Ryn - VW Lupo
Crusoe - Seat Ibiza Cupra TDi
Durzel - Nissan Skyline GTR (R34) - Always wanted on, 30 getting close
dazzajl - Volvo V40 T4 - cash req for business
Chris McKenna - Nissan 350Z - preferred Z
Hianholland - BMW M3
Subaru2000 - Porsche 911 - to get on this list
RichUK - Nissan 350Z - wanted a change
Welshman - Honda NSX - obvious really
Ian km - Lotus Exige S2
scov - Hyundai Getz
LeeG2002 - Nissan 200SX - S went to heaven

And a summary of makes for fun. Maybe Honda should pay attention to these sort of threads to see where previous customers went. So far, TVR, Nissans & Porkers are popular.


Westfield - 1
TVR - 4
BMW - 2
Porsche - 4
Jaguar - 1
Peugeot - 1
Lotus - 2
VW - 2
Toyota - 1
Lexus - 1
Seat - 1
Nissan - 4
Volvo - 1
Honda - 1
Hyundai - 1

List updated with brief reason(s), replies should give fuller reasons and, by the looks of things, pics

Subaru2000 - what have you moved to? (or is the username a clue? in which case, who 'were' you known as )

Since everyone's at it



Now has the V8 bonnet though.
