Whitecomet I was setting lap records when you were in nappies, or perhaps when your parents were in nappies. Do you really think I could give a damn what a fool like you thinks of me.

I can only assume you are jealous that I went racing, while you went swanning around some uni dreaming about it.

A quick look at our forum names should give anyone, who has the time to waste, an idea of how seriously we take ourselves. I would have thought anyone with a degree in literature would have considered how big headed you sound, but who cares.

I'm sure it helps you pull teeth.

I was just hoping that if some of our young owners knew that you can be kind to the car, & still win races, they could be a winner in all things .

ALPS, sorry to sound off on your thread. Do understand I was sympathising, nor criticizing. Our cars today are so much harder to learn in, & so much easier to damage due to their power & performance. It does sound as if you have put in the effort & lerant from your troubles.

I would love to see youngsters buying our type of cars spend some time in go karts, even commercial hire ones. There they could make the mistakes we could get away with on the road, without damaging their car, or themselves.

Do keep & enjoy that car if you possibly can. When I got out of my last racing car, it was over 30 years before I had another really enjoyable drive. Hope you don't have to wait so long.

Lol i just find it funny that everyone just assumes that because it's a rear wheel car, it has power, it's diff and gearbox and clutch is stuffing up, he's 20 he's on Ps he's a male, must be doing burnouts. I do not got joy out of burnouts or skating and much rather enjoy taking turns hard and pushing the car as far as i can and taking the right apex. I've owned three go karts to date and i currently still have a Yamaha 100s (alot more powerful than the hire karts.)

That is why i get soo frustrated and upset, the fact that i am not thrashing the car and it is still playing up. i've just been unlucky with the parts and mechanics and neighbour hood i've dealt with..

I work in a law firm, so I do know how to type up a properly punctuated and a grammatically correct line of text. But hey, it's jsut a forum.. big deal.

whitecomet, some people like to expand on their stories to try and get their point across in detail (which i tend to do alot). whereas sometimes it's just like cbf, i dont wanna hear it. both you and hasbeen, please dont take it to heart and have a grudge on eachother. This forum is here for people to share and discuss things. if you don't like it just ignore it and don't make a deal about it.

yes point taken. i did not hold grudge to anyone. read my reply i did not in anyway insulted anyone. where the particular member can only use insult and immature words to his own defense. its your thread. you got the final word.

loll.... aus... i hope to meet you one day. you're a legend

My personal opinion regarding your situation..

Lets lay everything out.

1) You have a big loan to repay
2) From what i gather you're still quite young
3) This car has caused you problems after problems

Most logical sense to me is to get rid of it, pay off your loan. Come back and buy another s2000 with your own money you have saved. You seem to always be wanting things, adding mods to your car even in your current financial state.

Yes, some people take loans to buy cars. It sometimes does make sense if they can use the money 'saved' for a higher return to earn a positive spread over the interest paid on the loan. It doesn't seem to be this way in your case.

Just my 2c.
