Honda S2000

[xodia]

Cannot wait for another 9 months when I can get the hood down.

WTF ?

If you have a convertable you must have the roof down whenever possible.

Think not in terms of shall I have the roof down, but shall I have it up

on a side not I have a honda CRX (two seater), now if im on the moterway and it starts to rain (unexpedtedally) as long as im doing over 50 - 60mph then with the windows up the air flows in such a way to keep me dry. even in heavey rain

Now the problem is is if I hit a slow down I have to consider how wet i'll get waiting out the slowdown v how wet i'll get putting on the roof in the hard sholder.

Oh if only I had the version wit the electric roof... life would be so much easier...

Hmmm,

S2000
Horsepower @ rpm 237 @ 7800
Torque (lb.-ft. @ rpm) 162 @ 6800
0-60 mph: 6.5 seconds
Dunno the top speed

My 4 door 4 year old family runabout
Horsepower @ rpm 354 @ 6100
Torque (lb.-ft. @ rpm) 332 @ 4,400
0-60 mph: 4.9 seconds
Top speed limited to 250 kmh (unlimited 280kmh)

They're both about the same fuel economy wise as well.

I do like the Honda though

3/ be carefull in the wet on roundabouts, it has no traction control, you will spin it if you are not careful

The new ones do have traction control, plus the whole stability control nonsense.

5/ it's a very good motorway car, the seats are fantastic

Really? Okay. I find they're pretty uncomfortable.

hhhmmm that hardly sounds like a typical runabout, more like a 50k M3?

Being a contractor who are generally too tight/sensible to spend silly money on new cars it will more than likely be a left hooker

most importnat thing is the colour

Are you serious? It's like sitting in a Bob The Builder ride outside the local Tesco.

Agree with that: never quite had the right words to describe it until what you've said.

You did read the post - 4 doors. M3 has 2.

Well seeing as I live in Germany then of course it'll be a left hooker. Mind you this week I'm commuting between Heathrow and Ewshot (M25 then M3) so if you see a black Merc with German plates (DA....) then that'll be me
