Glad you're ok, metal can be replaced - any accident you can walk away from is a good one.

If you dont know how to drive it of course RWD is lairy.
Glad to see that you are ok though buddy.
Learn from it, move on and at the end of the day it is just a bit of metal.
No one was hurt from it. Just out of curiosity of how the soft top faired if you have any pics of the aftermath that you'd kindly show please do so. I want to know how safe it is.
Regards.

[QUOTE=Fantom,Jul 22 2010, 04:46 PM] Unfortunately on the way to work this morning I ended up on my roof in a hedge.
Seeming like the end of my s2000 ownership due to predicted "epic" insurance premiums

Sad news! Not enough S2000s down here. 
That's two, to my knowledge, from Cornwall that where terminated within a short period of ownership.
Cornish roads are not very forgiving (narrow, twisty and plenty of unforgiving targets if you do leave the road).
I was lucky enough to survive my incident (less than 6 months of ownership) with some expensive repairs to suspension and wheel. I'm now more aware of the limits of the car and consequently more circumspect. A driver training day on a track or airfield is to be recommended for all new S2000 owners.
Glad to hear you are OK.
