Vrooom!

After almost seven years of pootling about in a Saxo VTS, I decided a change was in order.

So on Saturday I picked up my new toy, and have been grinning ever since.  

Next step: get some advanced driving tuition sorted out, before I throw it through a hedge backwards.  :crazy:  :doh:

Nice ride. Mono will go nuts when he hears that you have bought an S2K ...

Lovely motor,

my only advice FWIW, if your not used to RWD, respect the throttle when you go around corners/roundabouts etc particularly in the wet/ice - i've seen a lot of rwd cars stuffed into hedges and lose it on roundabouts because the owners are used to driving FWD.

Best part ........... Push big red button to start

Wise words indeed mate! :thumbsup:

In fifteen years of driving, I've spent practically all of them behind the wheel of FWD cars of some description or another.  Aside from being RWD, this wee beastie is also the most powerful car I've ever owned, and I definitely recognise the limitations in my driving experience.  I'm being uber-cautious with it at the mo.

I'm thinking of doing a course with a company called RideDrive, once I've got used to it a bit more.

Did you get rid of your well-quick MX5 and go with the BMW you were thinking about in the end?

and I bet that still gets more miles to the gallon than mine does!!!! (notice how pissed off I am at the £175 - £200 I spend a month just to get to work!!!!

Girl, get in and floor it. There's no feeling like coming off a roundabout with your foot glued to the floor and snaking up the road leaving skids on both tarmac and trouser.

Get out there and tank it.

M8, that would probably be the best spent money you've ever spent! It could save your life and will also be immense fun. I've still got my mx5, just had it mot, sending it to garage to sort out a bit of rust on the sills then its going up for sale for about £3500, which makes me shudder, when I have receipts for over 10k just 2 years ago - but after 8 years its time for a change and yes I'm still looking into BMW's - 330Diesel e46. My mate has an S2K and he loves it.

What year is yours?

[suicidal_monkey]

:dribble: nice car!


£3500 for an uprated mx5 eh? Someone'll be happy about that too! ...until they see th insurance and tax quotes


...damn my student budget :huh:
