Default Hi

Hi there,

Just joined the forum after having a drive of a 2003 S2000.

It's looking likely that I'll be getting one as it's pushed all the right buttons and left me grinning like a fool.

I won't any other questions (you have a search facility for that) aprt from one.

Which engine has proven to be the better or more fun. The 2l or the 2,2l?

Many thanks.

Wrong forum to ask I'm afraid - the 2.2 litre is only available in the US market so you won't find any first hand experiences here unless anyone has popped over to the States and driven one However, the 2.2 litre unsurprisingly has a little more torque but you lose the 9K red line.

Ahhhh....

I need to find out what spec they sell here. I'm in Dubai.

Anyway, I drove the 2l and enjoyed it very much.

Not sure what you guys at home have for prices nowadays but I'm looking at either a 2003 (very rare used car here) for

Both actually.
So what?
Do you want to discuss the repression of women and the torture of political opponents?

Or something else in your sandy cesspit?

I actually indulge in a bit of repression myself from time to time. The missus seems up for it so all is well there.

Torturing my opponents is not something I can claim to have done yet. Not for the lack of trying, I must add. Just can't catch the blighters. Getting too savvy to my evil ways. Need a rethink.

Well, as seem you seem to be oh so well informed I'll leave that direction of conversation and revert back to my initial reason for being on this wonderful, not ignorant at all, forum, and ask more about the car.

Actually, I have just called the dealership and the figures are being sorted as we speak, type, whatever!

Looks like I'll be a member of the clan sooner that I thought.
