Since I drove one in around 2004, I really really wanted an S2000. Throughout the years, finances or insurance got in the way and I never got round to owning one. With summer approaching and already having missed some lovely warm weekends I decided to put the Evo up for sale and start looking at what was for sale.
The Evo took a little while selling, mainly due to time wasters and silly low offers. I held out for the right sort of buyer/deal and it sold on Saturday for the asking price. I'd already spied a nice blue S2000 on Pistonheads and made arrangements to go and view it. It's a 2 owner 2006 car, with the now previous owner having it for 4 years and only covering 9000 miles. It's 100% OEM, no head unit or JDM gear knobs in sight, exactly what I wanted. It also had a full Honda service history with a £700 service being done last year. I made my offer and it was accepted so I took out 2 day insurance and drove it away there and then. I don't even know what the colour is called. :lol:
I'm really enjoying the car - roof down, RWD, screaming engine and great handling combined with a neat driver focussed cabin all add up to a great driving experience. Yes, the Evo would muller it point to point, especially on the straights and of course I'll miss the power. But the thing about this car is that I can have fun doing half the speed I would need in the Evo. I think I was out driving it on and off for 6 hours today. :lol:
