One thing that got me into Hondas was the number of implausibly old Civics in every superstore car park.

No, just look next time!

Every superstore has at least one early Civic in superb condition in its carpark.

It's become a bit like playing Stobby & Nobby when bored on the M25. It becomes an unconscious habit.

Anyway, the upshot is, with the massive depreciation on new cars, my gf intends to keep her Civic & I do the S2K for a lonngg time. (Inshallah!)

WHEN bored on the M25??? It' s been a couple of years since I was down there but it would seriously do my head in if I had to use it every day.

It is the Road to Hell.

A good friend of ours does half a lap, twice a day. She uses a Renault Laguna because it's a sofa. She admits she would have gone totally insane in a MX-5/S2000 type car.

It took us five hours on Friday from Hertford to Poole, Dorset.

Two hours back on Monday

I am ashamed to admit, nearly 30mpg in an S2K
