Just me, the car, a long long empty road and a machine gun array of cats eyes coming at me through the black night

I'm particularly disappointed with EVO. I do like and still read the mag, but IIRC they only tested the S2000 once in France, against a Boxster etc (Boxster won...)

Sure, some cars you have to test overseas, but I think the S2000 deserved to be driven on UK roads.

Well, if you're feeling very guilty, I can drop my car off for a few hours and you can clean it too

Ah but you missed the pleasure part - you get to see a clean S2000 in the colour Monte Carlo Blue. (Dons Nomex )

Maybe a mini meet is in order - at least as an excuse to clean the cars! (That said I've a meet on Sunday already..)
