Took the s2000 out for a spin.

Your car is older than me by a couple of years, yet it looks in much better condition
So long as you're not rusting it's probably ok.
Fantastic. Is the suspension modified? Because that ride height and with that combination of wheel and tyre, the way they sit within the arches just looks absolutely perfect to me. Low enough without looking too hashtagslammed, sidewalls looks nice and square and not too stretched. Please, never change it
Certainly feels like I might be in places

cheers! yeah, it's running ohlins road and track coilovers!
ride height/stance is perfect from my pov!
It looks great. I'm a bit torn about suspension mods...I accept that my car would look better if it was dropped just a tad, however I already have issues bottoming out when getting the car off the drive. Any lower and it would be impossible - and given the recent random act of vandalism, I no longer want to leave it parked out on the road.

My car scraped whenever I put it on the drive. So I lowered it even more. And now it scrapes when I turn into my road too.
But then again your car didn't cost you £500.

One day he will see the error of his ways, probably around the same time he's trying to figure out why i can't afford to buy a house.

Not at all, its annoying as hell... But I like how it looks...
As I have said before, I really don't lose a great deal of money on cars at all cos I play with cheap cars. I broke even on my last one despite buying brand new coilovers and other bits for it.
Plus I have money saved for that sort of thing. There is a pool of money which I don't touch. I'm not a total idiot.

Left hander or just the camera ?
Looks very clean. I was a 6th former when these were THE cool car to have.

Its a left hooker. Very nice car.
Cheers guys, yeah it came from France originally so it's LHD. If anyone (ha!) sees a LHD dashboard in even half tidy condition let me know
I could have bought one of these for £300 when I was 17, but insurance was astronomical. Now I had to pay a lot more than £300 to buy the car but the insurance is £97 a year. Being old has it's ups and downs.
