In the 15 months I've owned mine I've had loads of little chats with admires of the car, in car parks, petrol stations etc.
The only flak I get is in my local where most of them are bike nutters (Paul Brown of BSB and is pit crew). I give as good as I get with comments like "At least I've got a ride this year". But I know they like the car really.

I've had plenty down your way san - i reckon it is the colour - you need a faster one - like SILVERSTONE. I think it is my red seats which gets the women excited.

I pulled in to Membury services on the M4, waited in the car for the other half. Three guys walk by, first guy says 'there's one of those S2000's', second guy 'it's alright I suppose', third guy 'it's a bit of a girlie car!'

WTF, the positive comments are great, but do ppl assume S2000 drivers are deaf? I've heard a couple of negatives by passers by as i've been sitting in the thing! Starting to piss me off.

I suppose a positive to take from it is at least the car stirs a reaction in ppl, but not always what you want to hear!

I parked up the other day and walked away past three lads. One said to the others 'What a great car that is' another replied 'Na, I prefer the Golf next to it' yea right
