Front end looks a bit like the Honda S2000. New one on me, I must say.

Oooh...well done that man. 🙂

Tbh, I thought the logo looked more like something the owner had put on there him or herself.

This place is amazing at getting answers to very random questions.

Screw RM; when is STW going to float on the FTSE?

OK. Time to own up. I just googled the motto from the badge and it turned out someone on Pistonheads had asked the same question.

Geoff, did you spot the car in Puerto Pollensa by any chance?

I actually know nothing about anything - if that was a valuable commodity this place would be worth billions. 🙂

Yes - the same one on the Piston Heads forum.

We had one (well a Pontiac Solstice) as a bench mark vehicle for the engine 2.2 GDI turbo 4 cylinder.
280hp, 280ft/lbs torque
Rwd
6speed box
Clever LSD and traction control system

Engine was fabulous but the chassis was typically American...... 20" chrome wheels with fat tyres gave huge mechanical grip but the bushes and everything else wrapped up horribly, was fun in a yeeehaaaar type of way though 😳
At the time I described it as an mx5 with proper bo11ox 😀
