Default Things you learn about the S

So the other day I had to fit somthing bulky in the boot so I thought out with the space saver - get rid of that lump. Ah balls I have no space saver ! Could be a PITA should I get a flat. So I have owned this since December and never thought to check. I bet I have sod all chance with the dealer now.

So I guess it somthing for some of our new members to check.

But this got me thinking what kind of of things have people discovered months after ownership of there cars? Secret compartment is an obvious one, but any others?

Just buy a spray can in case you get a flat.

There are 3 secret compartments.

This isn't related to S2000 ownership, but a certain person I know (and happened to marry) had owned her VW Lupo for 6 years, using a cushion to adjust the height of the drivers seat. I pointed out to her the large lever on the side of the seat that magically adjusts the height for you!

Nice to see that the "care in the community" project is alive and well



The current Mrs Gaspode has had some gems in her time. Am trying to recall them...

Hmm, I might have to check my spare tomorrow.

There's also a 4th super secret compartment, it's just big enough for a squirell.

Hmm. This 3rd secret compartment, is it similar to sending 'baby' sailors on a ship to go look for the golden rivet (or tartan paint!)?
