daft question but did gears confuse you ???? who buys an automatic sports car ....

not meaning to be cheeky (much lol)
Nope, since 2003 my left arm is paralysed so has to be a Auto

Could even add that to the headline.

"1 armed man, drives a Automatic MX5 from Greeece to Donny, Thrashes a crew of S2000's and drives back, in 24 hours"

There is no need for a debate....your a muppet
look at your posts.

PS Sorry to Nutz members, but i can only reply to posts made to me ,see sig
Now you're being a moron. Re-read his post, it made sense to me. You only took it to mean that he thought he was a better driver.

I'm disappointed in that response if i'm honest. I would have thought someone from MX-5 Nutz would have been a touch more mature and would have engaged his posts in the correct manner i.e. with a proper debate.

Yours,

Disappointed of Cheshire.

Then read it again and I quote my first post on this topic which he replyed to, which I have also quoted below
My post is my opinion of an S2000 after driving one on a track,
I have drove loads of cars over the years front and rear wheel drive
on and of the track, based on the cars I have drove I found the
S2000 poor, as you can see in my post, I said looking at the links
the car could have been set up poor or not right
and I would think again about them.
The reply I got was "Learn how to drive the S2000 properly" ( What is so different about them ? I know a few people who have found the same as i have about the cars.)
"If you cant keep a sports car on a track at all I would seriously consider as the whether or not you should be there in the first place."

Now you have replyed " You only took it to mean that he thought he was a better driver. Where you got this from I don't know
you may think of other peoples driving, I don't , but for him to say to learn to drive any car be it an S2000 etc and to state you can't keep a sports car on the track is
not something I would have put to someone, nor have I done on this forum.
" touch more mature and moron" In Your reply is this what you mean by the "correct manner"

Who started this topic and what was it about again
I drove a 2002 S2000 on the track and i could not keep the thing on it at all,
I came of everywhere , power was not usable, I found it to be all or nothing.
Did not like it at all, Great looking car all the same.
But after seeing some of the S2000 youtube links on this topic, must
be down to set up, as has been said above, standard set up is not great.
Them links would make me think again.

Learn how to drive the S2000 properly, I tracked mine and wasn't hanging around on a mixture of wet and dry, in the wet it was a handful but then again the only cars that came off when I was there were front wheel drive hatches and a BMW 3 series.

If you cant keep a sports car on a track at all I would seriously consider as the whether or not you should be there in the first place.

Power was not usable, how come? My 240 bhp powered me along nicely thanks, remember if you are in an S2000 on a track you should be in vtec which makes the power very usable!

My had far more grip in the dry than I had ever imagined and believe me at Oulton park it is needed, my brothers who were there in their MX5 found that theirs was a handful in the wet, and in the dry it too had lots of grip but they both said they needed much more power.

"Learn how to drive the S2000 properly"
"If you cant keep a sports car on a track at all I would seriously consider as the whether or not you should be there in the first place."
 
I saw this thread mentioned on the S2000 forum and having been to Donington on Saturday in my stock 2002 S2000 with a video camera and had a very pleasant day. From about 2:15 into this video, I let an MX-5 pass me as he was going quicker round the corners than me. You can hear me backing off down the straights as I'm well aware that any idiot can drive fast in a straight line, me included!

The driver of the MX-5 has, and I quote from the track day organiser "to be fair - that MX-5 on saturday was being pedalled by Richard of BLiNK Motorsport -he's done more track days than I can remember over the last decade so should know what he's doing!"

I've been to Donington 3 times and have done a grand total 8 track days, as mentioned above, my S2000 is stock. The MX-5 is completely stripped for racing (or at least as far as a non-expert like me can tell).

Enjoy...
