Default How long have you been without & why?

Afternoon all,

Not been on here in soo long. I had my S2000 when I was 21, now turning 30 this year & for some reason wanting another has hit me bad.

Me getting rid is the age old story of buying house, getting married & now 2kids!!

Just wondering if anybody has been in same relative boat, or how long for other reasons you had to get another one!

I can't see me getting another for a little while but the saving starts now :-)

Bought my first in 2010, sold in 2011 due to house move, had a couple of cars I didn't like as much and got another s2000 in 2013 so much so I bought more or less without seeing!!! Great cars.
Been thinking of selling again (I do that with everything) but every time i go out in it i want to keep it.

Go get one now.

Me too. My daily driver and know I would miss it, even in winter, if I sold up.

I am constantly looking at different cars as I only seem to keep them 12 months. I do fear I will miss the s2k if I did get rid though.

Currently going through my mind is a change to an e46 m3 (a tider example 9k~) not sure yet though!

I bought mine when I was 21 and I'm now turning 30 this year.

Decided I liked the S2000 more than kids so scraped the kids idea.

So bought and paid off a house and then supercharged the S....and lived happily ever after

Bought my first S a few years ago, had to sell up to raise some cash and went to a Clio 172.

I loved the Clio but it only lasted 9 months before I was in another S2000! I'm now on my 3rd S2000, and only swapped from the second to upgrade to a facelift

I ain't going anywhere!
