It can't still be that clean, is it Rob?
Pretty much, I'm reducing my mileage pre-sale and wheelspinning everywhere in the Volvo.

Nah, that was the optional left seat brake - it's a performance-diminishing mod which knocks at least 30mph off the top speed and 40 bhp off the engine output


I have the same problem with mine

The S2000 has been getting softer each year since it's launch. The 04 model has been designed to appeal to pensioners and accountants.

The 02 has the glass rear window, I would go for that one.
Or get yourself a proper S2000, you know, like the MY99 and MY00.

Who cares about a glass screen, when you sacrifice proper suspension?!?

Gazzer - cancel you house purchase, go get yourself an Aston!
I think you're right A-man. A DB9 and a caravan would be a better bet. Could I park it up down the side of your house and run some cables from Satelite TV and elec. Don't mind me if I pop in for a shower in the morning!



Bonce, if you want to get a good result and get an extended test drive call Honda UK, get them to do the leg work and find you an S to test drive.

Gazza: A very good suggestion indeed. Unfortunately I got impatient and just booked a test drive for Saturday morning at Norton Way Letchworth, it's less than an hour's drive from me so not too bad.
