Default Is the S becoming a "lass's" car?

The S2000 population here in Newcastle seems to be growing rapidly - but of the four different ones I've seen on my recent commuting, they've all been driven by lasses... and dare I say, it would appear on the school-run too!

There's one saving grace however - the cars are all in blue or silver... nuff said I suppose.

Mmmm.........at first I assumed that they would belong to husbands/boyfriends, but thinking about it, would you lend your S to your other half ?

I guess even the women in Newcastle are hard enough to buy and drive proper sportscars.

I've only seen one other S in the Newcastle area. A black one on the A1 driven by a lass.

BTW I let my girlfriend drive mine when I had it, so maybe you saw her.

Yes it's true. I've checked through all the Honda documentation I can find and looked at various websites - women are allowed to buy S2000s: even hairdressers and librarians are not prohibited from ownership. What is the world coming to?

It might be prudent for you to run for cover at this point, boys - Lisa, Jules, Pink Lady et al will be along in due course to read this thread........
