Default Hi Guys

Hi all,

I just wanted to introduce myself - I am Vin, a former S2000 passenger since 2000 and a recent proud owner. I say recent, I'm 6k in and 2 track days (all in 3 months!)! Loving every minute.

I do know a few of you guys, particularly the older crowd. I am PJLs son and felt I wouldn't be doing either of us justice without having my own!

I have an '08 Berlina Black and which I would post pictures of if I could work out how!

Thanks all,

Vin

Welcome from the "older crowd". Stick the pictures on Photobucket and copy and paste the IMG tag, works for me.

Hi Vin, I never got to meet your dad, he passed away just before I got my S. What I do know is that he was held in very high regard by everyone.

I'm not too sure there are many of the longer standing members from those days who are still regulars here, but I'm sure those that are will be along shortly to say hi and welcome. Do you have any plans to turn your car into a monster like your dad's or re you going to keep is standard? Oh and they do like a picture around here

Hi Vin,

I also didn't get to meet your dad but I know how well liked he was on here, and I was really inspired by the track car he built.

Great to have you on here

Thanks for all the welcomes guys, for those that knew P I do come with the enthusiasm for toying with my S - maybe not a budget as high as is like though!

I'm sure I'd see some around soon, I spoke to Ian about coming to a 'meet' soon.

I have the 'man-flu' today and laptop is at work so I will post some pictures tomorrow, thanks for the heads up!

Vin, it is super to see you here, and I'm really glad you're well behind the wheels of your own S. Can't wait until we see you on a meet! Where are you based these days?

The love for your dad was immense and he'll never be forgotten by this community, even those who never knew him in person!

Catch you soon!
Ian
