Default S2000 withdrawal symptons

Oh how I long for the summer! I am getting increasingly withdrawn and annoyed about not being able to use my beloved S2000 for the past few weeks due to:

a) the weather
b) the dreaded salt on the roads
c) having to wash car after every use before putting away in garage
d) not being able to drive normally if I did venture out in it (ie. in VTEC!)

I am seriously miserable

PLEASE can like minded owners add some comforting words

Thank you

I know exactly how you feel.

At the moment I miss my old little Nova that was brilliant in the snow.
On Tuesday night I was stuck at Jct 9 of the M27 (5hrs and10 mins to do 10 miles and I am one of the lucky ones!!) and it was one of the most frightening driving experiences I have ever had. I have driven in worst in my Nova though.

The roof leaks but the weather does not allow me to look into it and sort it out (no I can't put it in the garage and I need to pour water in the channels), my rear wing bash is still not fixed (no point hurrying this up with this weather though) and with the cold, the alarm does not always disengage before I start it.

To top it all up one of my cat is very poorly and has been in hospital since Tuesday and I now need to collect her. Not having a good time here either and I am also longing for the nice weather.

Sorry no comfort. I am miserable here too.

It's just a car and a wee bit of snow.

It will pass.


Sunny days will be here soon enough

I predict it will be the exact opposite of whatever The Met Office says. Again.

Consider that your cup is half full not half empty eg

You have a lovely sports car - many have not.
You have a car - many do not.
I assume you are in good health - many are not.
I assume you have a job - many do not.
You have some idea where your next meal is going to come from - many do not.
You have shelter - many do not.
You have friends - many do not.

Many do not have half of that that you have.

Hope this helps.

Get the roof down & drive it.

There ain't no salt on the roads. Chips yes, salt no.

I think you'll be right, which brings me to this drawing it did for the lakes meet last year...

The forecast was...
