Well after many year of wanting a quick car Jess has finally picked up a little beast!

After looking at Honda DC2 and DC5 integra's for ages we test drove a DC5 a while back and Jess felt she was too small for it and really wanted RWD too! The S2000 fit the bill and the search was on!

We looked a 5 or 6 that were described as "mint" to get there and find them tatty or over priced etc. We finally found one for sale about 90 miles from our house and had a good chat on the phone with the dealer before we went up there. He described it as a jem, and in very very good nick so we took a chance and drove up to see it!

It was in fantastic condition and came with the honda OEM hard top plus hard top stand too!

Just had chance to take the hard top off today as we had ten mins where it had stopped raining! Gave it a quick clean too!

On to the pics!

On the drive with its hard top on.

Jess made up with her new toy! :D

Im sure this will end up with a few cheeky mod's as jess has her eyes on a nice intake and exhaust to liven the sound side of things up! A set of FAT wheels and some coilovers and it will be smart!

Very nice.

There are times I wish I'd still got my S2000.

Yes, I am a miserable bugger. But that's your problem, not mine.

Anything I post may be complete b****ks. Especially after whisky consumption. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Looks great. These cars are excellent value for money.Was very impressed with the S2000 when I took it for a drive.
Turns in very quickly and likes a damn good thrashing!
Just needs a Supercharger to get to 300hp...

Very nice addition, hope you like it, i've always enjoyed Hondas for their solid build quality, power where i want it and good looks :)

And that one really does appear in very nice condition, not sure on the red interior, but it's in good nick nonetheless :)

How did I miss this?! I've seen the vids you've taken of this mota but didn't realise it's a recent purchase.

It's lovely example mate. I bet Jess is well made up :)

After, not the best pics in the dark as the colour of the barge does not look as deep red but oh well!
