For the last week my site forbid me to access it. So no posts have been made but I do have a few things to mention about the S2000 now that I am able to log into my own site. Tomorrow will mark my 3 week anniversary with the S2000 and up to press I have accumulated over 1100 miles of modest (mostly wimpy) driving. One thing I find amazing is how a car such as the S2000 which loves corners is beautiful to drive regardless of any tricky road you take it on, yet if you pull onto the motorway in the wet, when passing over the slippery painted white lines, the LSD will completely spaz out making the whole car feel unstable. Much to the same fashion as when the MR2 lost control when hitting the grate in the road. Needless to say this unsettles me, and it happens way too often.

Thankfully at least now I am aware of the issue and gather it must be a trait of all rear wheel drive cars with a LSD, so I must learn to cope and then master this characteristic. Also the garage which holds my hardtop got broken into early last week but thankfully was untouched. This along with the weather which is getting increasingly colder has made me decide to put the hardtop back on, so yesterday I did my last bit of roof down driving. Chris was with me on one occasion going under a small tunnel, and even though only for a short second or two he said it sounded like the hammer of Thor. Although I’m not sure what Thor’s hammer actually sounds like, I know it was a compliment.

So after driving miles and miles around Manchester, Castleford, Huddersfield and Wakefield is was good to just take a picture of it resting in the morning sun, covered in the morning dew.

Oh and that reminds me, if you take the lid of your airbox and have a drive, your S2000 will sound the spitting image of a Ferrari F430, dont believe me? try it and compare it to the topgear review of the F430. There exactly the same sound.
