Well, the 5th year of ownership has started in the best possible fashion - the MOT took place this morning…
Passed with flying colours once again,
with zero advisories. I really don't think I'll ever own a car as reliable as this! 
The thought crossed my mind for a split second but I wouldn't risk that 
.
I've used Event Tyres several times over the past 5 or so years; they seem to have a good reputation

Thanks WinFreak 
.
Agree, it's way too cold for that. Especially if you come up against an unexpected gremlin... like a stuck disc/hub screw which we both know all about
. If you need a set of pads to get you through the MOT just let me know as I've got my partially worn Honda/OEM ones (see post #139 in this thread) that we took off during the summer .

Put simply, this wonderful machine has been the best, and most reliable, car I have owned to date
. Many thanks to all S2Ki community members for the help and tips along the way, much appreciated
.The end of an era!

This PistonHeads article was thrown my way recently:
"Honda S2000: Catch it While You Can"
http://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-japanesecars/honda-s2000-catch-it-while-you-can/33186
...and it certainly made me reminisce about this wonderful car
I let go back in Spring 2014...
.
Sorely missed, even my wife claims it was/is her favourite car
It was such a clean example! Whilst I know it went to a good home I was hoping to see more pics of it on this forum!
For those reading who own one, keep hold of it!

I did read your ownership thread when I was looking to buy one after joining the S2KUK & S2KI clubs late October, and did have a read through that PH article. As such, I can understand your sentiments......
As luck would have it I managed to acquire a 2006 example in exactly the same colour that had 2 owners and covered 15,600 miles from new. That one too had been cared for by its previous owner of 7 years.
Do you think you will be back in another?
