[QUOTE=cheshire_carper,May 8 2005, 06:29 AM]Croissants and earl grey? Do people like you really exist?

What next, talk about profits over a latte?


Of course - how do you think I afford the Optimax bills?

Just so happened that was what was for brekky this morning - a nice touch after a great drive. Normally we have Mothers Pride and processed cheese!

MAJP - will look out for you - maybe on another fine Sunday?

On the VTEC in 6th point, there is only one way to find out! If I can find a long enough straight, I'll let you know!

I guess everyone's done this, so it's hardly news, but here goes.

Got up early this morning and took my newly polished and gleaming Black S for a blast along some great roads in the Severn Valley - around Wainlode Hill, across Haw Bridge. Views right across to the Malverns on one side and the Cotswolds on the other.

Not a cloud in the sky, no other traffic, birds singing (only audible when not VTECing), heater on, some serious speeds (first time I've hit VTEC in 5th - wuss!)

Fabulous! Magnificent! Awesome!

Couldn't stop smiling.

There is NO OTHER real world car I would rather have than an S2000. It is like Concorde - it goes beyond function and into beauty. Exquisite device.

Home for croissants and Earl Grey. Off now to the park with the kids (in a Vauxhall Meriva, not the S)

I love Sunday mornings. Almost better than sex!!

Not a lot of point to this post - just needed to share how brilliant it was. I guess S2000 ownership does this to people!

DB
Nice one.
The S is an exquisite machine. Enjoy
