Default Typefern S2000

Hi

Picked up my Honda S2000 2 weeks ago, after wanting one for over 10 years.

My S2000 Story

When I was 21 (long time ago) I was sent out to Detroit to update 8 new Range Rovers that hadn't been realised to the public. They were going to be given to customers to assess. After a couple of days of being there I got to know some of the guys. One of them asked if I wanted to go out for a spin in his Honda S2000 . Of course I said yeah, within 10 minutes we were going broad side through Detroit over the cross roads. He then asked if I wanted a go, with a screwed up paper licence and I assume no insurance I said yes. The performance, handling and the noise was amazing and I was hooked:

Hondas over the years:

Honda Civic Jordan


Honda Civic Type R


Honda Civic Type R Premier


Honda Integra Type R Project
Honda Integra Type R v Typefern (my new car) - Detailing World


Honda Civic Type R

Honda Civic Type R CWE

And now my new Honda S2000 (after a 10 hour clean)

Honda S2000 2005
Moonrock Grey
Red and black leather
62000 miles with full service history

If you loved the S2000 so much - what took you so long to get one? And why were you fannying about in those civics? Especially that FN2!

There fun with a LSD, but you're very hard pushed to get the back end to play, unlike the EP3's.

FN2 a good car

EP3 a good drivers car

More to the point, how come you've been a member for five years before getting one?
