Have been umming and aahing about getting rid of the MR2 for something a bit newer and S2k fits the bill. They look stunning but I wouldn't want one in that standard gunmetal colour so I've settled on Imola Orange. It used to be an NSX-only colour but was a special-order colour for the S2000 which makes it rare. Out of 350odd cars on autotrader only 2 of them were this burnt orange shade. I've not test driven one yet, but I'm prepared to have to rag the **** off it to get it to shift like the '2 does. Had a run with one through MK the other night which kept up with me between roundabouts and was faster round them. However I think from the noise it may have been supercharged Big Grin Big Grin

There is a supercharged black S2000 in MK, it is VERY VERY fast.

I think it would be a good choice of car if you can continue to live with 2 seats car.

2tongues There is a supercharged black S2000 in MK, it is VERY VERY fast.

Yeah, this one was black. It just went round roundabouts like they weren't there :o

Lexusboy I think it would be a good choice of car if you can continue to live with 2 seats car.

I think I can, I hate kids and have done pretty well with a 2 seater car for the last 2 years Smile

Could it be harder? Actually yes, it could be a 300ZX. That one looks nice. I think I'd opt for a slightly higher mileage / cheaper one though. As much as I'd like to I don't think I can afford an AP2 so I'll be looking around 2003ish.

It wasn't Bibb's old S2000 was it - he supercharged that, it was a right weapon and looked the absolute business!
