Ok, so I really made a decision out the blue on Friday to sell the S. It sold the day after, and was gone at 2pm! Only having owned 6 months, it was a pleasure and it scratched my itch for me, having been a previous owner in 2004-2006. The family required a better bus than the ageing 530d I own, so I swapped from the 02 plate S2000 to a more sensible 09 Focus Zetec 1.6 Petrol. Boring, but nice little car and handles fantastic for all its lukewarm fizzy power. 19,000 miles and 1 owner.. for under 7k! Facelift version with the melted Mondeo-esque lights, red display and alu-interior. The wife is happy, but it's all part of the plan to get myself a cheap track dayer (Accord Type R or Clio 172) and go halves with my brother on one.
So a shame to leave, you're a nice bunch and I've told the new owner of my S to come online here, as its the holy grail for everything S2000 (Chris is name is).
I'll still lurk a bit, older S's do crop up at alarmingly cheap prices and you never know... I could be back.

I have some winter wheels for sale in the FS section, wrong time of the year to sell these but make me an offer and you never know!

 

What a shame Tony, be good to see you at a track day sometime though.

 

Incredibly nice chap Simon, very knowledgeable and loved the set up of your S. For sure, I'll be there at some point this year

 

Ah, thats a shame Tony. It was nice meeting you at the Oulton Park trackday.

 

Likewise....
I have to admit, the 02 plate never felt as good as my original W-reg when it had 45,000miles on it. Old school for the win
However, it felt safer and better on the limit. I remember the snappy ar£e end in the W reg - I did drive it like I stole it though back then

Cannot believe that Clio 172's are £1,000 now, ATR's half as much. Sunday morning blasts through the countryside will be missed. Just got a £350 refund on the insurance today swapping to the Focus, its only group 6

 

Wow that was quick Tony - nice to meet you at Oulton last time
