Top down drive out in the S2000

As I woke up today and the sun was out, I decided to abandon my plan of sorting out the 106 as the weather was too good for that. Instead I cracked out the buckets and a basket full of Autoglym and did this:

I retrieved the tonneau cover from the garage, worked out how to fit it and set off for a drive. Got some lunch at McDonalds, then set off here to eat it, overlooking South Wales In fact, if I had some binoculars I could probably see Llandow from there!

LOL. I'm putting mine on retention this week, and paying the assignment fee. I'd want £300 then all you'd need to pay on top is £25 to change the name on the certificate

I will tell him

I wish I stopped seeing pics of your S2, I'm literally in love with it!

When you getting one then, Tom?

Minor update for this week, came home on Thursday with it sounding like a bag of nails, quickly diagnosed by Ryan as the cam chain tensioner and backed up by checking on S2KI to find that it's a common fault. Replacement ones can last anything between 10k and 80k so it seems like a bit of a lottery!

Having been advised not to drive it, I got myself insured on Ryan's GTi6 for the week and stumped up the £258 for a replacement part from from Honda, not what I needed five weeks before a 'Ring trip but at least it didn't go over there!

Part was fitted tonight with a little help from Ryan and Adam and now it sounds nice and healthy again!

In other minor news, sorted my insurance out on Saturday, renewal was a shocking £980. I practically laughed at the guy and told him to try again and asked why it was so high. He put me on hold for five minutes and came back with £475. Result! Settled in the end with £515 as £128 a month for four months after the expensive bill. Adrian Flux coming up trumps five years running now!
