alexwitham Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 First car, 1.6TDCI, great car, amazingly economical after a remap, £30 road tax. Second car, Scorpion cat-back, K&N typhoon intake, Hondata ECU, 240bhp, loved it. Third Car, the track bike workhorse, needed it to tow and eat up the miles. I'd have another of these for sure. Fourth car and current daily driver, love this car but will be sold once I can comfortably get back on 2 wheels after a heavy crash in Spain on the GSXR. Bikes: VFR400 NC30's (Had 3 or 4 of these) R6 track bike SV650 Daytona 675 Ducati 1100s Hypermotard GSXR1000 track bike CBR600 RS125 GP1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Was behind one of these waiting to get on a ferry back from France last August. It was about 32 degrees and the driver looked like he was close to fainting lol. Awesome little car though and the sound when he was driving into the ferry was something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newkid Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 This was the first car I started to modify. Hell of a beast when I had finished with her. Miss that car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome little car though and the sound when he was driving into the ferry was something else There were only just over 3,600 S2 Lotus Europa's built, the vast majority of which were shipped abroad. About 13,000 Europa's in all were produced most of these being the twin cam and big valve versions. A pretty rare sight even when I had mine and very rare now, only 30 S2's and around 200 Europa's in all. Nice car to drive, at least when it was actually running .

Pete It was there for a classic car show that happened to have been on that weekend in Le Havre. Ferrari's, Lambo's and all sorts were driving around. The guy who was driving it was topping up the oil whilst we waited to board the ferry, ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Like the FN2 Civic newkid. Came close to buying one of those once but it didn't feel like a big enough change from my EP3 so went for the Zed instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
