Well having managed to sell my Integra or at least agree a sale subject to a new MOT on Saturday, I went on the hunt for an S2000, was surprised to hear how many were sold when I'm told the used car market isn't doing well.

After a very slow drive in to central london I put a deposit down on this.



Its a 34,000 mile '03 in Nurburgring blue with dark blue interior. It wasn't my first choice of colour but I much prefer it in the flesh to in photo's.

Not prefect but but nothing worrying, has a scratch on the rear bumper and the wheels could ideally do with a refurb. but other than that it all looks good and has just had a main dealer service a geo set up and came complete with a hard top and stand.

Really looking forward to getting back into RWD and enjoying the summer with a soft top for the first time.

Just praying the Integra goes straight though it's MOT and the buyer doesn't mess me around otherwise I'll end up with even more cars on the drive which will prove less than popular.

and welcome!

Best choice of colour (ignore the uneducated here that may tell you differently ), it looks superb in the sun, especially when it's been polished nicely

Agreed! We all own the best colour, bar none! You've also bought the best MY, too!

...we will, however, want lots of pics up here. We love pics.

Thanks for the warm welcome

Hopefully I won't been needing to much technical advise on here and I'll rarely have to open the bonnet!

Also hoping the weather cheers up so I can make the most of the soft top and learn a bit about driving the car as I'm planning on sprinting it from the end of April, with the 1st one being at the notoriously unforgiving Goodwood.

Don't worry about getting the top down, it's great fun as long as it's dry(ish), the heater is magic and you'll be out with the roof down at any excuse.
Oh and welcome.
