Default Should I be on commission?

I took a work collegaue for a passenger ride in the S2000 early.

After a great blast down a well known country lane and a full sideways circle of a local roundabout he is now off to the Honda dealer tomorrow.

This is the second time I have done this and there is already one proud owner of a silver 06 plate in the office across the road.

I enjoyed the blast too

Have a word with your local Honda dealer.

Dealers annoy me. The S2000 is an engine and handling package. A decent test drive says far more than sales talk, brochures and a cripple around the block in traffic would ever do.

I think we should set up with Honda UK a special taster track day. Stock cars only, and people can come and get passenger rides, Honda pays for the track, the owner drives. We'd sell a lot of cars. I'm sure I've sold at least one S2000. Did Europa ever order one?

I remember my test drive at the honda dealer, my ITR was in for a service...

His exacty words in the middle of a roundabout were "Gun it"

I only say that, as if they're trying to sell the cars, they're probably only going to want something that you can actually buy.

HOwever I'd love to see your car on track. Although will the engine overheat on track if properly pushed?

I don't think I would suggest people gunned it in the middle of a roundabout on a test drive...

I've got the name of a salesman in the dealer I recommend, he looks after me for all the business I put his way, anything Honda I dont do at our place, the punter gets sent to him, as well as sending folks for servicing.

Why would you want more Ss on the road?, they are becoming far more common as it is.

Yeah, he should have said "over 6K then gun it!"

Otherwise it feels just exciting, not scary.
