MattyB Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 gimme £16.500 and you can have mine... Edited to say...is the S2000 that bad that you need to swap already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malbon Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 Its not bad at all. In fact its very good. does everything very well and is reliable as clockwork but its not as sporty as I want it to be. Its asking a lot coming from the 111s which was so highly regarded and so just.

Kris H Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Was there enough time to even put your name on the V5 Jonno? That S160 on PH the other day was looking mighty fine actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiona Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Sorry to hear you're giving up the S, Jon. Shame I've got my heart set on a Silverstone/red combo or I may have had more than a passing interest in yours. That's not a bad price so you should do okay. I take it you're going to add it to the For Sale board on S2ki.com. Good luck and I hope you come back to the Lotus fold.....or you pick up a cheap VX220.

Ladders Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Welcome back Jonno Glad you've seen sense! So whats next then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve J Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Once bitten eh? You should have a good choice as there's a lot up for sale at the moment and prices don't look that strong. Buy a standard one, you then have the fun of modifying it again with the £5k you've saved. Shame the duratec isn't ready yet or the honda half the price.

simon_prickett Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Jon - hopefully we'll have 2 Elises in town again then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foley Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Jono, glad to see you've come to your senses I made the same mistake, sold my first one to Wuddie and then bought another within 3 months. Standard S1's are dirt cheap right now, throw a few £££s on Nitrons (and carpets of course) and maybe a 160/170 upgrade and track the rest of the money.

Scott_Mac Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Yup buy a std S1... top idea Though (mentioning the dark side) there was someone selling a rather nice looking VX220 on SELOC... 180bhp and it had 340R seats - that was up at £16.5k too. Glad to have you back if you do join us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris H Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I saw that one too Scott and it did look pretty sorted. For that money though surely it would be a nice S160 or a standard/111s and some top quality upgrades. Good time to be buying strangely, looking at the prices on PH.
