The only issue would be getting all of my wife's "luggage" into a 2-seater for a 10 day trip. It'd never happen!
You'd be surprised at just how much you can fit in, especially after using the space next to the fuel tank having taken out the spare wheel, and also after removing the tool kit section from the base of your boot. Documents, iPads, that kind of thing can all go on the hooks behind the drivers seat. Then you have the cargo net in the passenger footwell, the centre console plus the two compartments above/behind. We certainly didn't feel we had to miss any items out due to lack of space .

Thanks! I assume you have enough scenic roads where you live - but a trip like this still comes highly recommended .

Just going through the roadtrip photos I found some that may be of interest to a car forum - I probably don't need to state the following were seen in Monaco....

Yep, that's a Daytona at Millau!



The S2000 shared the same underground car park....

Another mini-update....

Yesterday the S2000 was treated to a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 on all 4 corners .

They replaced the trusty set of Bridgestone RE050MZ which I've kept on the car since owning it. Given the positive reviews from pretty much everyone on the Goodyear tyres, I'm looking forward to getting to grips with them .

The hardtop also went on - I don't think we have much of a summer left now! As many say, it really does transform the look of the car....

Finally, the S2000 was also joined by a new 'stablemate' - the wife took delivery of her new car yesterday....

It's quite big in comparison, though will serve as a trusty practical car I'm sure .

Following the roadtrip images posted on the previous page, I've put together a little video covering the roads and scenery experienced .

Excuse the camera shake and 'overtaking'... .

Enjoy!
