Default New Users - Introduce yourself here

NEW THREAD: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...&f=25&t=567025

I have seen a lot of new users joining the forums recently, so thought it would be nice to welcome them all in one thread at once, rather than ing the individual threads (sounds like me eh?!)

So 1st of all, hello to all you new users, the forums are very welcoming, and everyone is really helpful and friendly

Introduce yourself here also if you are new to the boards and everyone will probably say hi here too

Thanks AE, good idea for a place for us virgins.


To introduce myself to the board, I am Simmo's old man and I am very lucky that he does not mind weighing his car down and toting me around to the recent Herts and Surrey meets. You guys are I feel are privileged to own a wonderful car and so far I have met only really nice, fun people. (that could change on the 22nd I suppose!).

I scan all the threads, but not being an owner I will probably only be able to post on general or O/T threads.

Looking forward to Saturday, weather forecast is looking good at the moment

I'm Richard, and I plan on buying an S2000 in November, when my current company car (Astra SRi) finishes it's lease term in November. So I just hang around here to keep up on the S2000 news.

Hi, I've done a few posts, but thought I'd better introduce myself properly

I'm Adam. I got my S in January [MC Blue GT], and have been making good use of the sunny weather to play with it with the hard top off / roof down.

I love the car - the feeling when you are going some with the roof down is fantastic.

[some of the local kids (6-7 years old) were admiring the car the other day outside my house. One of the boys told another that he thought the car was cool, and the other boy replied that it was a Lamborghini!, and that it was the car that he was going to buy when he grew up - Ah well, made me giggle]

I'm Allan and I hope to collect my '03 GT this weekend, all being well. I've asked a few questions already, sent and received a few PM's and generally "lurked" about for 2 or 3 weeks since ordering my S2000.

I will become quite active at meets etc when I finally get to drive it

C U All soon

Allan

Hi - I've been lurking on and off since the tail end of last year when I first ordered a new GT. (Silverstone/Half Red).

Finally collected about 10 days ago and I've already broken through 1,500 miles - The hard top only managed about 10 of those and has been in the spare bedroom ever since....

All the lurking paid off with info about oil/tyres/spring spacers/running in/wet weather handling/etc etc etc.

Thanks for all the advice I'm sure that I'll need to post a newbie question sometime soon but for now I'm just enjoying the

Rich..........

Hey people,

I've been around a while since moving over from Scoobynet with the likes of Dracoro and a few others. I shall be purchasing my S2000 in the next 3-4 weeks once i've decided which colour to go for, Silver or Black with Red or Black inetrior????? Hoping to get a 2001/00 model private from a S2KI board (not bored) member if possible to avoid silly dealer, "suns out", premiums. The S will be my 1st proper sports car i.e. RWD, softtop, having done the big power 4wd rally slag thing to death. I have since owned one of the new CTR's so I know all about VTEC (i-VTEC) and can't wait for 8,000+ Rpm with the top down.

Will be attending meets when i'm sorted.

Chris.
