Default Ordered today!

Ladies and Gents,

My order of the S2000 has just gone in, so given due process I should be the proud owner (well, it's a leased car so not really) of a brand new S2000 GT in about 1 months time.

Apart from the car the thing that swung it was the useful and friendly forum I found right here. It's great to fond such a great fountain of knowledge, plus a top way to make some friends and find the best place to give the car a thrash.

I'll let you know more once the steed arrives...

Robster

I've run a silver car for 3 1/2 years, so didn't fancy that. Black looks good but is a nightmare to keep clean. I fancied something a bit more distinctive than the blue (either of them) but not as WAAAAAA as the yellow. Plus the lady had a say in it as well so red it is, with the black interior.

Can't wait for it, plus can't wait for the next airfield day. It won't have arrived when the next one is happening, so hopefully the one after that...

Good to hear you've a red one - there's fewer around, apparently.

I wasn't that fussed about the number of cars around as there's not exactly that many around in the first place. The Puma is getting a bit too popular. I was driving home form work on Friday and there were 4 Pumas in the same section of the traffic jam I was in...

Really good colour choice. The red is suprisingly rare - at SM2 there were only 3 / 50. I think that only Yellow and White are scarcer (although I'm sure I'll be corrected . )

No, that's about right I think. White ones are JDM imports only and are therefore about as rare as earthquakes in Manchester...

Sorry Tif, Jenny....
