I'm certain it was an S2000 too.

I was waiting to have my hair cut this morning, and reading August 2004's Maxim.

There's an interview with Jenson, and, from memory, he has a "Type-R, S2000 and an LSX" (sic).

I'm disappointed that a so-called men's magazine can't get the car types correct. But then, there was rather a lot of female flesh in the mag, so maybe they had other editorial priorities...

I checked out his website, it has The Cars, the Boats, The Options....but no The Missus.
Anyone else think that Louise Griffiths is extremely fit?! If he had her up for hire id happily pay the E7500 joining fee, hopefully she'd be slightly less that the 300 points a day of a Vanquish thou, and you'd get to ride in her for a whole two weeks

well, jensen heads of to work driving a F1 around London, he takes the S as a run-about, and he has no problems fitting his packed lunch, phone, helmet, etc in the car...

who says the S has not enough room for a daily driver!

It's the PC car to drive, considering who he works for. I think he got a bollocking for buying a 360 Modena by Frank Williams a few years ago. He knows better these days.
It was a 355 but it wasn't his.

He's under contract to Honda/BAR. Nuff said about his choice in the matter.

I agree that he wouldn't necessarily choose an Enzo or any other Ferrari though.

Not everyone buys up to their budget or on the reputation of a car. Five times the price does not equal five times the car as we know with the S, and anyone with an older Maserati will tell you. Some have described the NSX-R as the best handling car you can buy - bar none. I shouldn't think JB would be too interested in trackdays..........

People can call bs if they want but I could buy a 360 or 911t tomorow. Probably a few people here could do the same. Maybe all the homeowners could?

I don't because I don't think it's a good place to stick

it may be repeated tomorrow ?
Bonesy - I was down at Picadilly that day and was gutted, as I have posted elsewhere I couldn't see a thing due to the crowds, but it annoyed me more as someone near the front shouted to their friends (and everyone else behind them) that Jenson was showboating and doing donuts in a yellow S2000.

I really wanted to see that.

They just had a clip of Jenson in the yellow S2K on the F1 coverage, as well as footage of Martin Brundle in the Jaguar F1 car.
