yep waiting for (hopefully) a 2002 from alliance car imports
coming from holland mid november

silver with black

as for the speed cameras my geodesy turned up today
going to try it in my spitfire at the weekend
cool toy!

PS what impressed me when i drove an s2000 at
a jonathan palmer race day was the similar feel
to my spit - you can really feel the road you have
a sense of being at one with the car

tried the audi tt and a bunch of other cars on the same
day and all felt isolated - like you were driving remotely

....apart from the formula palmer audi that is

Lets hope that S2000's don't fall apart like spits!

Let us know about the Morpheus..... in two minds about that or a radar detector.

The only spit I ever drove was bloody terrible.
The front end lifted at about 60 and the steering went very light.
Scared the crap out of me

This list should be on commission. Just ordered my 2002 S2000 in Nubring Blue (black interior) - delivery February from Priory Honda, Cambridge. 4% off roof, Hard top etc.

Will get my Origin in 2 weeks if anyone want a comparison with Morpheous?

Oooo, Oooo, that must the other blue for 2002, do you have a picture of the blue, or maybe some Honda guff about whether its lighter / darker than Montecarlo?

It's a lighter blue described as Pearl'/met' ice blue - dealers should get the colour swatch this week. It can be seen on the College Honda site in the states.

Comes with a dark blue hood and the option of all blue interior - possible a little too blue

Is the blue interior an option, can you specify other colours too (e.g. Black)?

I thought (from reading about the US cars) that the new light blue cars come only with the blue leather & trim. I do like the blue leather but will withhold comment on the blue (& red) interior plastics until I see them in the flesh.

Suzuka blue pic's

The dark blue hood looks very good against the paintwork though

It's available with black or blue interior, not red. I ordered black in case the blue interior was typicaly Japanese in style, affecting resale value.

I also requested a US type front bumper as I understand it does not have No plate mountings (I want the No plate mounted low).

Having driven nearly every 2 seater convertable available, I felt the S2000 offered more smiles/

I think you have made a good choice on the black interior, a little more understated and classy IMO.

(BTW I meant red plastic in the Silver cars )
