I am now the proud owner of a yr2000 Silverstone Silver Honda S2000 with black leather interior. Bought it yesterday and the smile still hasnt left my face! Here are some piccies from this morning.







Now I just need to wait for the weather to improve and the roads to become less greasy!

Any meets near the midlands planned? I'd love to come along.

Congrats, hope you don't have to wait too long for some dry roads. I've not driven a S2k but it's certainly a good looker with the performance to back it up, enjoy

You best look after it dear boy!

I'll keep an eye out too for Midlands meets if there aren't model specific and bring the ST when it arrives

sign up for the spring 'evo tirangle meet'... ought to be a good work-out for the S2K !


edited to ad: that really is a lovelt looking car.. but it does need some bigger wheels to fill out those arches.. and the mugen hardtop, and some bigger dual-pipes, and maybe a supercharger.....

Cheers Dan, Will definately look after it! Have had a fantastic weekend with it so far. I think I'll be changing the plate very soon so will let you know. If you want the old one back let me know....

All in good time! I must admit that Bigger wheels and perhaps the induction kit to cut out the Kangarooing are certainly on the list, but it is in mint condition (Thanks Dan!(Focus ST)) and will be fine for now.

Will def keep an eye out for the details of the Trianglt meet - hope it doesnt coincide with skiing...

Cheers Rich . Let me know when you change it and I think I will have it back. I've had it a few years and thinking about it, I'll slap it on the ST

You had the weather for it today! I woke up and thought nice weather, then realised its not much good to me now. Enjoy .

Started off nice and bright so popped the roof down. Then decided I may need to invest in a wooly hat!! It's been great so far, just been taking it easy as the roads are very greasy!

I've spotted the plate that I want and its only £250 from DVLA so if you can bung me a few quid for the plate back, that would be great.

Just thought... you got a free map! Slide the passenger seat forward and its in the back of the seat.

Very, very nice car.

If I were going to do anything cosmetic the only thing I would change would be the front number plate to a stick-on vinyl one. The big boxy bit just ruins the lines of the front.

Other than that, its perfect imo. Especially the colour.

Good work, health to enjoy it

Thanks Neil - have been lurking around S2Ki for a while, making sure I knew what to look out for.

Lovely car you've got in your profile - I was initially after a Berlina Black but they are pretty rare at the moment and this one was too good to miss. Like the Mats you have, may look into those!

Thanks, same to you! Muz mats are a must as long as you don't mind the rather steep asking price, they are worth it though!
