...I got herh back to my place - great curves and she looks great in black leather

Forgot how good the engine sounds - just 300miles left until total VTECH

Got interesting looks from 3 boxter drivers too . It looks SO much better than the boxter - so glad I didn't give up on the wait now!

Congrats, both of you. And you're right about the S2000 looking better than the Boxster !

Does anyone know where I can get hold of some 10w 30 oil around North London/Cardiff (home-from-home)? Tried getting some from the honda dealer but they only sell it by the barrel My dealer told me to buy the most expensive synthetic oil to keep topping her up during the run-in period - am sure you're only supposed to use petroleum based oil though no?

Couldn't help but notice the caveat in the handbook either - a litre of oil in first 600 miles! No way

Looks like there won't be many new silverstones like mine arriving in the UK - this colour availability is not even on the Honda ordering system at the mo! What colour did you get cheshire_carper?

Apparently Ford garages sell 10W 30 mineral oil, as Alex.Stanley says though Halfords do 10W 40 mineral oil in the burnt orange bottle, myself and others use that
