Yep - no hiding from that! It was a case of trying to cram over 90min video into a timeline that retains interest and also it helps with smoothing out the bumps. Oh it also looks better .

Thanks very much! - the pics/video simply reflect the awesome time we had with the car in France .
My car being chosen to be in the calendar was a very pleasant surprise - it'll be hung up in prime location with pride! .

It was exactly 4 years ago - to the day - that I placed the deposit on the S2000 .






Coincidentally, this also happened today:

That's right - the big half century, 50,000 miles! . Still relatively low for a MY04 car....

Whilst I only covered ~8k miles across the first 3 years of ownership, this last year has seen me cover ~9k miles, although this does include the awesome >2k French roadtrip .
