Sorry for bubbling
Just had my test drive in an S2000!
What a tight, neat little car!
What a rush 9000 rpm are!
What a slick gear change!
Well you all know that.
One of the best mornings of my life!
So now on order - silver/black plus hardtop -

Superb! Glad you loved the car, you won't regret buying one

You gave it the full 9000 revs then? Big fun, got to love the engine note haven't you?

Now for the tortuous part - waiting for the car to arrive...

(And then the run in period...)

Just got my order form through for mine - biggest descision is the colour now.
Once I'd driven the car for a few yards the descision as to whether to get one or not was made!

But colour....now theres a descision......

I never thought the biggest descision about a car I'd have to make would be the colour. Sad

MarkB :

Oh the colour!, been there, done that

Drove 120 miles to the Rutland meet in my old escort just to see the colours at first hand, a great idea made even better by the fact that I made a choice!.

Escort poorly at the moment, I dunno if its gonna last the wait.

Ordering was easy, colour was tricky, I dont want to get involved talking about the waiting
Besides, arguing with insurance companies is keeping me occupied at the mo.

Often.

I think yellow is about the only colour I haven't decided on. In the last couple of weeks I've gone from Monte Carlo Blue to Silverstone to Black to Red......

I knwo that whatever I choose, two weeks after ordering I'll wish I'd ordered something else.

At the moment it's Berlina Black with the Pimp-Daddy all-red interior (I don't have to sell the car on......)

I filled out the order form for a black/black. The form got returned due to the dealer sending out a revised order form, by this time the Rutland meet was around the corner and eventually I went for the Blue (biker1 - very nice!).

Test drove a very shiney black which looked very mean and menacing, got put off with the cleaning work which has to go into it though.

Dont spend too much time on the colour, could have got mine in time for xmas if it wasnt for the colour.

Often.

At last!!!! Picked up my car today, was so bloody excited I almost wet myself! The car is everything I expected it to be, fast and furious...that wicked Vtec kick is unbelievable!
Weird rattling noise on a trailing throttle in 2nd and 3rd though....
The G sensor recall hasn't been done, is it worth getting done?
