Buying the S2k is only the start
Parting with the dosh to the dealer is just the start.
Already spent on MUZ Premier mats, Riks full height screen on order, Major Havoc inserts on order, Considering which C.A.I. to go for. 18" wheels and tyres should go on tommorrow.Then it's the turn of the ICE for upgrade.
Complaints so far:- No
yet. Only 430 miles on it. Handling is a little suspect still ? possibly the transport blocks still in ?? Bit blowy in the cabin at 80 ish. Horn sounds sh*te.Pros:- Tooo much fun, 28mpg. Heater is powerful[keepsg/f warm] brakes are tremendous. No squeeks or rattles. Storage is reasonable for a 2str.
Any excuse to go out for a drive.
Weather has been so good I've only done 40 miles with the roof up.
Loosening up niceley and it probably wont be too long before it bites me in tharse. My 911 managed to scare me witless on a roundabout.
Enough rambling

They're going to fight over who to blame when they inevitably get lost en route.
(Steven, make sure you've got your camera running on the way up to Haggisland - that way you'll have conclusive proof of just who it was who sent you the wrong way

Tks Steven 4 pointing me in the correct direction. I am getting my delayed hardtop fitted Thursday at Tachbrook, so barring any unforseen nasties Krissie & Myself will find our way there for 20-00. If we look tense when we get there it's because we got lost and had a heated debate, yet again !! We will probably not be topless or if it is pi**ing it down are we allowed to arrive in Krissies Mini Cooper [BMW type] ??

I've lost count, and I'm not sure that I'd honestly want to know who much I've spent since buying the car......... 
What brought home to me how much I'm spending on this beast was getting my Shell visa card bill for March, which is used only to buy fuel.
