Brad. To define handling, roadholding and generally looking flash I think we should do car swap for a week. You can have Cavvy, she will like you. You can do all the things that provoke hand signals from other drivers when you are in the Honda,do it in Cavvy and no one cares, they just get out of the way! She wont get keyed, broken into or even urinated on by drunks, as she looks like she has been already. I am sure that the S2000 would be able to deal with the lanes I live at the end of and a good bit of gravel rash on the arches adds patina. I have a secure parking spot in Portsmouth so yours will be ok.... and my scrapyard owning mate has loads of tyres so.......  |

The S2000 is a very fine motorcar, especially the engine and g/box, though it's getting a little long in the tooth as it's about 8 years old now.
Plus it has a big red button that says "engine start"...which gets me excited every time I get in it!! Thinking of putting one of them on my 35yr old Triumph.  |

Looks like a BMW clone...
The origional NSX shouldnt ever be copied. They should re-badge it.

It's the car TRIUMPH SHOULD HAVE BUILT. But the TR ranges took priority. This is an original 1973 GT6 but a convertable as designed by MICHELOTTI.. It may be old, and by modern standards a bit bit slow. But at least I do it with a bit of style. What do you drive? Can you repair it on the side of the road? |

Our old Spitfire sheared a UJ and the suspension collapsed on the way back from Santa Pod once. What a sh*t suspension design. Certainly couldn't repair that by the side of the road.  |

Oh yes you can, OK it took three hours, but she made it. I keep a spare UJ in the boot. My Herald 13/60 broke its half shart in France, the insurance company instructed the garage to weld in back up so I could drive back from Euro Disney (shows how long that was ago). Guess what? I went mad when I heard. Few words later, they recovered the car and us on a trailer. The good bit, saved fuel cost and the car is on an agreed milage pa, so saved that as well. The funny bit, was when the garage jacked up and the rear wheels fold in, the paniced an dwere really worried. |

Rear suspension - was cheap! Front suspension - what other cars used their design/set up - which Lotus and wot other cars. Anyway, when I was a poor youth, it was all I could afford. Still got it after 26 years. Must grow up one day! |
