How secret is it? Can you tell me or will you have to kill me?
Wont have to kill you, just remove a limb.


Clue: The wind blocker between the seats! Go have a look now.

oh that one, yeah I found that with a bit of a tug, almost knocked the rear window out though lol when it opened. Thought there was another one somewhere... Obviously not.

As for the stereo, yeah - pile of poo. Going to have to work out what I am doing with that. Would like to maintain the dash controls so will have to look at head units / adapters as well as new speakers. Like the idea of the Lucid behind seat setup, that could work. Will also decide whether I go for autochanger or MP3. Think i'm in favour for the iPod style set up but don't particularly like iPods.. Will have to see what other adapters are available for the more superior players doubt there are many options though.

1. People move out of the way. I was VTEC' it off a roundabout onto a dual carriage way and an SLK got out of the way rather quickly.. Perhaps other more prestigious car drivers dont think much of the MCS?

2. The S gets nowhere near as many looks as my previous MCS. It's funny, I didnt think I noticed the looks I got in that but I noticed today when no one looked at the S.

3. Fuel economy isnt as bad as I thought it would be.

4. Where's my cup holder?? i know its a silly thing but I miss simple things. one net and an unergonomic box between the seats isnt ideal at all.

5. No clock!!!!!!!! WhereTF is the clock??????

Not a dig at you, just a general comment.

1. Nope not at all, they think its a psedo retro metro sexual's car.

2. The looks you get in a MCS arent the type of looks you'd want in a S2000.

3. If your worried about fuel econnomy, your in the wrong car.

4. See above.

5. Again see above, its a drivers car meant to be driven hard, drinks would spill, clocks are un-important when your throwing an S2000 through a set of twisties and at those speeds fuel economy is the last thing on your mind.


Meby the softer 04 would be better for you?

My boss will just have to get used to me turning up to the office late with coffee stained trousers

On fuel front - just a comment really, was expecting it to be thirstier than it is.

Expect to get 220 to 260 miles out of a tank, depending on how you drive, some people have got almost 300, but I think they must of been towed .
