farkin hell
how was the car? how old r u?
i have 6 points "till this may " and i pay £700 fc i wouldnt pay over £1500 for insurance really.
but then again my car is only worth 2.5k anyway
I have same amount of points as you and have 3yrs no claims an am 22.
But it is worth paying just under 2k for the size of the smile i'll have on my face when I am driving it
i have 1 yr ncb and im 22 this year
but im putting a bigger engine in my car and getting another car aswell
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudddddde i need a better job

How much are the S2000's new?
Seems like a good price.
Were you not tempted by anything else? Astra GSi Turbo etc?

Yes and no, I like the S2000 much more than anything else Honda have produced recently.
But I would rather buy a Astra GSi, save me a few ££££ and spend the left over on some subtle mods for the Astra.

You wouldn't get much change out of £16k for an astra gsi, plus they are totally different cars, ones rwd 9k rpm n/a sports car, and well one isn't

For fucks sake, not gettin into it, accept it Astra GSi's are SHITE and Civics are the best hot hatch u can buy FACT... 
And please care 2 explain how a shite handling 192bhp TURBO is better than a 200bhp N/A which handles very well

An of course an S2000 is better than a Civic, it costs more an is more of a sports car

An also, if GSi's are better, why dont u c any yet u see Civics everywhere 
An why do all critics always label the type-r the best hot hatch for years and yet the GSi never eben gets a look in

Have you ever raced a GSi? I doubt you have.
The handling is the same as the CTR, the CTR gets all twitchy on bumpy roads.
I would rather a Vauxhall Turbo with torque than some Jap crap that needs to be doing 7,000 rpm before it actually goes fast.

I have, I beat him quite easily, yiou don't need to do 7k to hav torque, it pulls from 2k easily, like most people who say the civic ios crap they need 2 drive one, an FYI the astra bloke was definitely tryin as he caught me up in traffic an looked very annoyed 
people ned to accept that Civic are better than anything you can come up wuith for the same range
