Do you really have a question unique to S650?

When I started driving mine and noticed it has some “character” to it. In the mornings sometimes 1-2 is stiff.

I've spent so much time in old British cars that my entire perception of what a 'good' transmission is has been completely skewed. In my eyes, TVR's and Jaguars are peak.

So feeling an MT-82 for the first time had me convinced its one of the nicest manuals around. I do still think its alright, in all honesty. 100% better than any Subaru or Toyota I've used in recent memory.

I know little of British cars. When I was a teen I had a ‘66 Mustang. My best friend somehow got into Triumphs(TR4). All I can remember is that his hood was always up, and something was either broken, shorted-out or leaking. Jags always had beautiful lines, but again, I more often see them parked vs. on road.
That is my vast knowledge of Brit cars.

God I love TR4's. Spectacular little cars, honest to god. I have a complete factory service manual for one of those in absolutely beautiful condition.

But yeah, grounds love to go out on them, and a lot of the electricals are fussy. The upside is that its all very easy to fix up and tracking electrical issues is super straightforward.

I had a Spitfire for a little while, was absolutely butchered by the previous owners, but even still it was a riot. Loved driving that car up until I was T-boned by a Jeep. Even still I kept driving it for another two years, as the Jeep was so tall that it missed all the important chassis stuff - just knackered the bodywork instead.
