A Quality Collector
I just unloaded 8 boxes of S2000 stuff. Included were many models all in their original boxes, and lots of literature and S2000 memorabilia. Everything seems in perfect condition. All the literature is sorted, labeled, filed and cataloged.
I spent the morning evaluating the models and deciding what goes and what stays. I'll take the academic part over to the Collier Museum. I don't think Dave could have made it any easier.
I'm trying to imagine his MG collection.

PS I can't believe how much some of those models sell for.

I'll be adding a few things including pictures of the Inaugural Honda Grand Prix where S2000's were first used as parade cars and an appearance in the Nopi Nationals and some other track shots. I've added some celeb autographed pictures and a few more books and manuals with additional information on popular modifications and personalization of the car.
I would like to include more on the social ramifications and driving force of it's popularity. What makes you like it? I know..... the start button.
If any of you are feeling literary and would like to contribute your thoughts, I'll include them in the papers.
Dave wrote a great piece.
