Nearly New!

Lotti · 05-09-2008, 01:18 AM

Hi there. Lotti here from England!

My Car.png

I got my S2K in October last year and have just taken the hard top off. I have to say after watching the dealer do it and take 25 minutes with lots of struggling.....I was dreading it.
5 minutes later........done!

Unplug the rear heater, flip 2 levers, undo the front clips and lift!

Now I have my Oakleys on and the wind blowing through my hair.

Now I just need to find a wall mounted storage rack for it. I thought I could hide it behind the sofa in the spare room but my husband has noticed it!

Well just wanted to say hi!

Lotti

Hi and welcome. I hide mine in my (finished) basement. If anyone asks, I just say it's a decoration...you might want to buy or make a rack to hold it. I have the Honda rolling rack and it works well and makes it very easy to move around.

DJJSR · 05-09-2008, 03:40 AM

Welcome Lotti! Great looking car. I think you may have the only Imola Orange on the forum.

Lotti · 05-09-2008, 03:46 AM

Thanks!

They only make 5 a year year, so when it came onto the forecourt I had to have it. I test drove it and made an offer for it before they'd even put it on the books!

And I LOVE it!

Beatles of course!

You have to ask????

Ahhhhh, an optimist...........I like that. Tis an exceptional quality in a person.

It's been FORTY years ago today,
since Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play.
They've been goin' in and out of style,
but they're guaranteed to raise a smile.

Show us some pics of the orange s2000.
The color is beautiful.....I've got unrealistic thoughts of a repaint for my road buggy.

Welcome to the site. Nice ride you have there.

Lotti · 05-10-2008, 01:09 PM

I shall take pictures tomorrow...Sunday!

s2k 4 me · 05-10-2008, 01:26 PM

Welcome and congrats from across the pond!

Glad to see you found out little family here.

I do prefer the Stones though. But the Beetles aint bad.

Cant wait to see more pics!

Lotti · 05-11-2008, 04:11 AM

My smallest picture size is way too big.

I've saved it as the lowest quality possible using photoshop elements and is still way to big for this site. You'll have to go to photo bucket if you want pics, unless someone here can educate me as to how you get your pics so big!

Welcome very nice.

DJJSR · 05-11-2008, 09:02 AM

In photobucket, find the picture you want and below it you'll see the IMG Code. Highlight the code, right click, copy. Then, in the reply box, right click, paste. When you click 'preview post' you should see the image.
