Default Help for newbie....?

Hello folks,

I'm a newbie who's about to buy an S2000. The particular car I'm looking at is in London, around Battersea. I haven't owned one of these lovely machines before, but I think I know the S2000 reasonably well and I've read all the really useful "Things-to-look-for-when-buying-an S2k" info on this site.

Is there anyone who lives in the Battersea/Wandsworth/south London area and who really knows what they're doing with these cars who would be willing to accompany me to the sale so that I don't miss anything scarey !!

I'm looking at possibly doing it this weekend.

Can't promise any repayment other than my undying gratitude and a good lunch somewhere......

I'm in Tooting, I know Haroon is round the corner in S.t. Reatham, Conanius is in Battersea, Putney fairly obvious where he lives...

I may be about on Saturday, is it a private sale or dealer, from a member here? If you need any help drop me a PM and include details of the advert.

Ooh, tell us the details of your proposed purchase.

It might be a car that's already known to the site?

I'd happily go along with you. In fact, you could take both NineBolts and myself along

If you are going to give the OP the initiation ceremony - have you 2 decided which one of you is going in the barrel?

"Going in the barrel" ? "Lizard skins" ? Some sort of code obviously.
You see, this is exactly the kind of obscure bits of arcane S2K knowledge that I need help with !

Thanks for all the offers of help, chaps. Check pms.
