Default The S is gone, long live the Hachi Roku

Well yesterday I traded the S for a GT86.
I've loved owning the Honda but she was getting long in the tooth and I wanted a change. The 86 felt like a kind of spiritual successor. A car built for enthusiasts. It's a different animal but gives off a similar vibe. I've made lots of friends on here over the years so you ain't entirely going to get rid of me. I'll still be hanging around here a bit. Nothing much to add beyond what I posted a few weeks ago when I posted I'd crossed 100,000 miles in the S.

Enjoy your motors peeps

I'm here just as much - no need for an 'exit stage right!'

You could also get some Germans in to keep the mods happy next

Indeed; it's still the place to be for an enlightened discussion.

I'm certainly thinking about one of these once the mortgage is paid off in a year or two. I'll be keeping the S2000 though I think...

Looks like it might be interesting too - some cool stuff coming and in the meantime, used GT86 are creeping into the market place at good prices!

5 year warranty means a 3 year old one of these at sub £15k will be a very attractive proposition. Maybe a replacement for our aging ATR in a couple of years
