Wrong colour too brash IMO, but I do like the 4.2L varient if not just for the sound of them, but interiors are still very dated on this year, and as Scott pointed out drink like a fish. Would sooner have the older twin turbo 2.7L variety.

The sound of the V8s are awesome, dont worry about the colour as you never keep one long enough for anyone to see you.
As for the petrol just make sure it comes with a full tank when the petrol runs out the car will go anyway.:lol::lol:

Hongkongfooi 04-10-2010 08:45 PM

crikey steve you had it valeted? it looks mint!

Skullfudge 04-10-2010 08:53 PM

These Classics of ours can be awfully good fun with some money spent on them over time!


Could try a P1? :yeah:

Like we all day in the P1woc, you don't realise how different a P1 is until you have driven one! and the potential is crazy.

Just an optional thought :)

Skullfudge 04-10-2010 08:55 PM

No honestly, I took it to the local hand wash, cost me £10.00 for in and out. 10 mins, job done.

I have always kept it clean though, which as you well know, helps an awful lot.

Chunk 05-10-2010 08:51 AM

How about an AMG of some sort?

Can get some good SL's for around £10K


Then sell it to me in a couple of weeks

RobEvo5 08-10-2010 10:03 PM

Well decided what to do and done it tonight. Bought myself another S2000, but this time an earlier model with harder suspension and more aggresive Vtec. In dark blue with innovite alloys. Needs a little bit of TLC here and there, but Looks nicer than my last one, and forgot how well they handle.

Its like day and night in the way it drives compared to the scoob, but huge fun and grin factor when on vtec and in the twisites. Plan is at the moment to keep this S2000 and the scoob, but will all depend on how reasonable I can get insurance on both cars. S2000 group 20 and scoob aint far behind.

I don't think my current insurance company will insure 2 cars without hamering me, so will have to consider stopping my insurance and see what Mr Moulson can do for us.

Scott.T 08-10-2010 10:12 PM

"Needs a little bit of TLC here and there"...have you ever bought a car that doesn't ????

Do you want me to come out for a drive with you again, so Sherrill can comment on how camp it looks again.......you'll then sell it before the fuel tank is empty.

lol - learnt the hard way, almost impossible to get a car that don't need a little tlc. But paint don't cost allot anymore, and can do a fair bit myself. It needs just the rear bumper painted and a few pin dents pulled, and a good valet.

:D Agreed there is Now't more camp than 2 blokes in a convertible. But this car is meant for me only and when I have the urge for some revy fun. Plus I'm liberal enough to not bother what anyone thinks anyway.

By keeping both I can have my cake and eat it and all well within budget. - Subject to insurance :D

Thanks for posting up mate, will give you a bell next week. Sounds encouraging. I'm currently 6 months into a policy through kwick fit (highway). But will look to cancel this and shift both cars over... Talk next week Cheers.

Very nice ride that. Depending on how I get on with the 2 car thing. I would look to move onto something like this or a Westy to supliment the Scoob.

RobEvo5 09-10-2010 06:18 PM

couple of pics of the 2 together, and a couple of splitter I fitted today to the scoob.

Was going to colour code the splitter, but think it works well as is matching the side skirts and seems to work well with the blue and anthracite wheels. Plus don't have to worry about stone chips.

Both look nice IMO and a bit girly but like the fact they are both blue and kinda matching.

Hard top on the S2000 is a bit marmite, and might think about selling it, as I like the lines and look of the softop and like to have the choice of dropping the softop when ever you want.

I like the S2000 with the hard top.:nod:

The spilter looks 8-)



The slicks on the scoob.:10::rofl::doubleup:

scoobycoops 09-10-2010 07:48 PM

I've skipped most of this post. You are a confused individual. If you want to buy toy car get a car you can write off and walk away laughing. A 2.5 MR2 turbo or something cheap to hot rod up discreetly but please don't harp on about £10000 - £25000 and have a problem choosing!!!!
Learn how to rear wheel steer or drift.
But M3's and Elises are cars you love to pose in not D R I V E.
Maaaaaaaaaattttteeeeee!

M3's and elise's to pose in not drive? I think they are both drivers cars imho

but yes Rob doesn't know what he wants but he seems to be having fun finding out which is the main thing!

Scott.T 09-10-2010 08:01 PM

S2000 looks much better then the last one, a more manly colour....unlike pale blue ;)

Thanks, very observant of you re the tyres. Must get them sorted although technically they are still legal - although they are bald on the very outer edge ,the inner 3/4 of the tread has well over the legal limit of 1.6mm.

From what I can gather its not illegal to be bald on the outer edge so long as the inner 3/4 is over 1.6mm. ?

But welcome any advice on this as It does bother me every time I look at them, but will likely change them anyhow. But if they are illegal it will get sorted much sooner rather than later.
