Too soon junior (Contains VTEC Yo)

[SouthBit]

Congrats, lovely cars, I picked up a mint 2004 with 47,000km for R198,000 about a year ago. She goes to the track every month, this weekend was no exception

Did you sell the Accord?

I did, to a family member. The S2000 will be my daily (as crazy as that sounds).

At least you didn't buy a skateboard.... the MX5
The S2000 is what the skateboard wanted to be....

S2000 is probably the only "roofless" car I'll consider driving without feeling ghey, or feeling I have a midlife crisis.

Congrats.

And I know exactly what you mean about driving purity. Some may laugh... but I'm loving my 1275 mini. It's still car. You are in total control. Doesn't feel like the driver is actually a passenger. Prefer to drive it over my ST to work

I'm with you. Not a fan of convertibles at all, but the S2000 is something special. And the driving is what it's all about, too many modern cars feel like you're wafting along in a marshmallow, prompting it in a direction.

Great stuff, driving the car where it's happiest! I must admit the daily commute makes this car feel sad, it wasn't meant for point A to B. Might get myself a small auto diesel (completely soulless) for work and back.

Awesome write up and what a machine. Congrats. Like many have said, this really is a car that's meant to be driven and enjoyed. Many safe miles and I know you will look after her.

No *Convertible

It really does. Pictures tend to lie sometimes, but this really is in top condition.

I've been thinking about Car Spa, though I hear good things about Soapy Rides and they're quite a bit closer (not to mention R600 cheaper). Have you got any recommendations?

Detailed? Wot dat mean?

 

[TehStranger]

Detailed? Wot dat mean?

Auto detailing, like a full valet of the car inside and out. wash, polish, wax etc. to bring it to showroom condition.
