The roads are very slippery round here today. Even the ITR was a bit of a handful. Wouldn't have enjoyed driving the S on the country roads I drove on today.

I voted "no", as I haven't crashed it.

It has been crashed into when I was at the wheel, but I was stationary and claimed off the other driver.

I've had the car for 4 years

Nearly 5 years, no crashes, no bumps, no problems...

Frantically searches for some wood...

Impressed by Chris Knott, first question they asked when I told them it was an S was how long have you had it?

Came from an MR2 which was a lot more twitchy, so the S2000 was a doddle compared.

Had a few 'moments' mainly due to either, bad geometry or heavy right foot and cack handed steering (deliberatly trying to provoke it).
