good move

Now put it down for 15 minutes...

1) Take pictures, we like pictures
2) Join S2KUK & S2KI you'll recoup the small costs in discounts and saved time
3) With your new found status as a fully fledged member post the pictures, Did I mention that we like pictures

After this you can go back to

However, just take it easy on the corners until you get used to it

Congrats! I've just collected mine last sunday too - first S2k and I've come from a lotus elise.

I too need to wash and post pics

Have got new sheepskin mitt etc yesterday, just now need the time to get it washed and dried!!

I too didn't realise how quick it gets between 60 and 110 when using vtec all the way.

Just wish mine had its correct sized rear tyres on now so it cornered a bit better!

Will

Well done mate, you won't regret it.

I will be celebrating my first year of S2000 ownership next month and I still absolutely adore it. Actually, I have to say that I probably enjoy it more now than I ever have (especially when compared to the first 3 months) and this is purely because I've gained a much better appreciation of the car's characteristics as time's go on.

I also 'upgraded' from a CRX, and I must admit I was a little worried that the S2000 wouldn't be anywhere near as fun and nimble, especially as the CRX-UK forum is littered with people who have returned to the CRX fold after moving on to a supposedly better/faster car only to find they missed the fun-factor of the CRX.

However, it's one year on and I can wholeheartedly state that the S2000 is, in my opinion, a much more enjoyable driving experience than my CRX*

*and it was a pretty fast one too (13.8 1/4 mile)
