Chet - your car looks immaculate!

Bit of a milestone hit yesterday - the big 40,000 miles!


The odometer and 'trip monitor' were all set up to achieve a "40000 - 40" display respectively but I was having too much fun driving and forgot all about the landmark opportunity. Compared to many of you, this is still minimal miles I'm sure. Especially considering that when I bought the car in Dec 2009 it was sitting on ~32k...


We unexpectedly came across the Hindhead Tunnel [and having looked it up, seems to be the longest tunnel in the UK] where the sound, with the top down of course, was immense . Despite our efforts to capture the sound, the general air/wind noise was too overpowering:

Unfortunately whilst the above tunnel experience will prove to be memorable the day 40k was hit, my offside rear alloy got scuffed against a curb and is proving to be just as memorable. Painful!

Chet, you'll need to capture some photos for the next S2KUK calendar.

How colours divide opinion. My wife hates the S2K in yellow. I think the car looks

Hardtop enhances the car even more. There's one I see round here (tarleton, preston). Its yellow and always has the hardtop on. Damn it looks good

I might have to get mine wrapped!

Tell me about it Tommi! Time is running out though; we have 1 day left of 'summer' in the UK before the recent warm weather and sunshine disappears and the familiar rain returns .
Having covered several hundred miles in the last week the S currently has about a thousand and one dead bugs stuck to the front so I'll see what I can do, but time isn't on my side .

Thank you .

I much prefer the metallic Yellow on the post-facelift models opposed to the rather 'flat' paint on the pre-facelift model. It really suits the S2000's lines .

As for the hard top, have you seen one with the Mugen hardtop? Yellow S2000 with Mugen hardtop - .

looks beautiful in yellow! i desparately wanted one after my last yellow car but proved too hard to find a good example with hardtop and AP2

WinFreak

You won't find any of them here

ch3tman

Thank you . If you wanted one so desperately, all you had to do was ask if mine was available .

And, as WinFreak mentions, all UK cars are technically AP1...
AP2 refers to the American variant with the 2.2 litre engine, all our cars are AP1 and 2.0.
AP1/AP2 is an engine designation not a model/year identifier .

and when are you going to bring it along to a Surrey meeting for me to see????
