Post Is this a record?!

Just returned from a family holiday in the CRV to Lake Garda (Italy) and Wagrain (Austria)

Including the UK leg, we covered 2330 miles - and in all that time we saw just one S2000 (which was parked up in Limone Sul Garda, Italy).

Maybe it was the roads I was on (ie long, boring streches of motorway)- and no doubt I missed a few given the thousands of cars we passed - but I would have thought I would have actually seen more than one S2000 (the missus was looking as well!!!).

For the record, lost count of the number of Boxsters etc etc.

So, one S2000 in 2330 miles - anyone better that??

Just goes to show the uniqueness of the car - and the fact that our European neighbours might not know just what they are missing!

Yup, about the same mileage in 2 weeks round the west coast of Scotland and didn't see a single one (that I can remember). It was raining for most of it though...

You should have come on SM5. We did 2,300 miles and saw eight other S200s every single day!

(but I know what you mean, we didn't see a single S that was not one of us)
