Default Selling up! :-(

Still brokering the deal, but due to cash flow, the addition to the family earlier this year and insurance reasons (over 1000 squid every year for the last 7 years, yeah I love high performance cars! ), my S2000 is being sold! Its been the longest I have ever owned a car (almost 5 years and 60,000 miles across the UK and Europe), and its been a great learning curve for vehicle dynamics and fine tuning!

Good news is that its staying in the family, so I can still drive it, and I don't have to worry about stripping it of its parts! Its being sold to my brother (nomadics2k) and it will be another addition to the growing S2000 brigade in Rickmansworth (highest population of S2000s in the UK I think!), so keep an eye out and welcome him to the forum!

I will still be on the forum, and the a plan is hatching for a return: think of a Lotus Super 7 replica (Westfield, Caterham whatever) with the F20C engine in it! A few have done it already, now I want a go! 6 forward gears and a reverse gear too? Bike engine? Nope!

I will apologise publically to Steven now, I've kept him waiting while trying to sell my black hardtop, and my brother wants to stay with the balck hardtop:

Steve, I apologise for wasting your time, for that I am truly sorry.

He'll take ownership -all being well - on saturday, but if he knows there is a meet, he'll probably come! I'll sling him a mail now!

What am I replacing it with? Well, thats undecided right now, but it will be something that can take a pram, pushchair etc without requiring a black belt in origami!

It should also be able to pull a ton and a half so I can get a trailer hitched up to tow the next project home if required!
