I have been looking into S2Ks recently. People over on http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showforum=25 are really helpful and theres a few good examples on there for sale.

But they apparently get through a set of rears in 10/12 thousand miles :|

Yeh it is; i pay under a grand for the M and the corsa on a multi car policy; im only 23 with 1 years NCB and a claim just under 3 years ago.

S200 was something silly like £2K, which is around the same sort of money i was paying on my v8 TVR! Also im getting 29MPG out of the BMW which im rather happy with :)

I looked at the same list before i bought my BMW; didnt like the build quality and driving position of the Porsche; just didnt feel like a porsche really! The S2K was close but was very high on insurance and i felt the ride was a little to harsh and the cabin a little to small. So i went for the ZM Roadster and love it to bit; fairly economical; a lot cheaper to insure than either of the other two; 321BHP so quite a bit quicker. My parents have an s2k and they both say now that they would rather have mine than there's as its more useable everyday.
Here's a pic

I had a 2.7 Boxster.
Its plenty quick enough and has such a nice engine note :)
They're built nice and solid and has plenty of room too.

I loved it :D

Wheels cost a fortune :( Racing Hart, first set in the world they were! 10.5'' wide :lol:

Cost fuck all to run really (tyres aside), fuel isn't too bad 23ish mpg, servicing is normal car type, £200 a go etc, insurance grp 19 thats about it really :)

If your wanting a Roadster I'd seriously look at the 350z, really enjoyed mine. Good fun, easily back end action, well built, sounds lovely, rare etc looks good with a nice set of wheels and sus kit :)

thanks for advice got 14-15k to spend maybe more.... not a huge fan of the 350z tbh even thou it is a nice car!
