Anyone had a look on pistonheads recently?!

A mate of mine recently upgraded from his S2000 to a 911 and sold his for £12k. But having looked on pistonheads, there seem to be some reletively decent if higher mileage S2000s for around £5k!!

What a bargain and future classic! Makes me wonder whether project e30 was worth it!

I'm not a massive fan of S2000's.

From my experience they're not massively quick. I raced my mate with one and it took him ages to get past me due to V-tec being so high up the RPM. That was in a 325i.

Yeah that's the problem with a lot of rev-happy Jap cars but once they get going they can do the business. Plus I reckon they look pretty slick. Better than a 350z. Plus the leather interiors quite tastey for Jap interior too.
