Default Coolest S at Formula 1 this weekend

I spotted it and thought, for a second, that it was a restored Midget or sprite or something...when I realized what it was, I nearly crapped my pants.









The guy was so cool. He even let me...































...SIT IN IT!!!!!



It was a great cap to a great day.

HONDA 4 LIFE!!!

[for those of you who don't know. This is a 1965 Honda S600...the first car Honda imported into the US and one of Honda's first cars. Obviously, it was the inspiration for the S2000]

Very Nice That 1965 S600 Looks So Sweet !!

Did you ask the Owner if he/she has ever driven the New S ?

The car was in better condition than mine (not saying munch, but yes it was mint). The owner saw me taking pics of his car and seemed pretty proud (in a good way). He asked if I liked the car and I told him that I loved it being an S2000 owner. We started talking about the car, not too much about the S2000 though. I learned a lot. Didn't know it revs to 9500 rpm. Didn't know it was an aluminum DOHC (really impressive for the era). Didn't know there was only 300 imported to the US. And didn't know that there were only 30 hardtops in the US - and he has one. I also thought it was cool that it was a 1965 - the year Honda won it's first F1 race (would have been even cooler Honda won that day). Oh, and it has one of the smoothest sounding engines I have ever heard.
