Default Im Now An Official S Owner! WOW!

Hi Everyone,

As some of you know, Ive been after an S for ages, and I finally bought one this Saturday, and my god, what a car.

Its like nothing else Ive ever driven, and just cant get enough of it, and find any excuse to drive her .

The car I bought is an early S on a V, but I couldn't of found a better example, its only covered 63k and has full honda history, and is absolutely imaculate, and even came with the optional spoiler, alarm, wind deflector, and luggage net.

Ive already spotted 2 S owners and both have flashed and waved, I feel very privaliged I have to say.

Still just getting used to it as Im still a little nervous coming from a high performance front wheel drive car.

Have any of you got any driving tips for driving the S?

Will keep an eye out for you as not too far away. Got mine today too. I know of a black one round here and also a Nurb blue too.

Only one:

Don't listen to me.

Or several others on here. I'll let them offer their own advice
