Hi All

Superb forum.


Newbie here, I picked up my first S2K last week. It is Berlina Black with red / black interior on a '56 plate with 27k on the clock. I am the second owner from new and picked it up from Honda main dealer. So far it has been faultless, a great drive.

I've been dreaming of buying one since around 2001 when a family friend took me for a drive in his. Unfortunately I have had to wait and gradually move through the ranks of 206 GTI, Clio 182, Golf GTI mk 5 and finally BMW120d M Sport ( which was a decent introduction to RWD).

So far, in the dry, she doesn't seem anywhere near as much of a handful as I was led to believe, with fairly predictable oversteer when on the gas a bit early out of corners / roundabouts!

A would upload some pics, but I dont know how to




Nick

... perfect excuse to fix them at the same time as fitting heated seats. Your steering wheel also needs recovering (have a look at the for sale section) and someone has stolen your mats .

Nice colour combination .
