Definite improvement to the car's looks. Hope the driver got out of that okay.

Mondello Park, Ireland. The only reall race track in ireland I guess. Theres a BTCC rounf here.
Came round a corner, drifted a bit and just kept going straight into the bank.

Shame, hopefully its not a write off and its back on the road soon, love S2000's!

only convertible worth getting IMO.

Hmm bit of a sweeping statement... F430, F355 Spider, 360 Spider how are they not worthy?

I hope he's insured.

they're all hairdressers cars........

OK you got me there, but out of common convertibles, like mx-5's/307cc/audi tt type cars, i feel they're the best. 350z also.

Note, not including convertible saloon types in this, like 3 series, because they pwn

I doubt in Ireland they'd give you insurance. The'd ask for silly money. 10k or something.

Looks like another great argument for taking up kart racing. Whole lot cheaper than the prospect of stacking your pride and joy on a track, and is probably even more fun.

T-Cut and it will be fine

But isn't the point of taking your car on a track just that, taking your car on a track?

Yes karting is a lot of fun, but totally different to taking your car on a track.

The point of tracking your car is seeing what it can really do, taking it to it's limits and pushing it way harder than you ever would on the road. How would karting be an alternative :confused:

Good point, hadn't thought of it from that angle.
I always thought of going on the track as a way to show how good you are as a driver, not to show how fast your car is.
I know only too well that my car is not that quick, but I like to think that in equivalently capable cars, that I'm fairly competitive.
Just a matter of priorities really.

I can see where you're coming from though, nice one.
