Hi Guys,

Clocked up 30,000 miles since taking ownership of my NSX on my way back from Pembrokeshire this weekend. Thought when I have time I'd add a bit of a write-up to this thread reporting on the experience, and the costs etc. I would imagine apart from Nick (greybloke) I have probably covered the most amount of miles in my car in the last couple of years FWTW!

Matt...still smiling!

But then again, 55000 miles in the S2000 recently :D

Matt,

SS,

I have use of a Scenic Diesel for the really boring stuff, but yes it's my daily driver. It had only done 13,000 miles when I got it in 5 years with 1,200 miles betwenn the last three MOT's as it was part of a collection, so I thought it was only fair to make the most of it and run it in properly! Car feels like the day I collected it, in fact significantly better due to the engine running in and the tyres being sorted!

A report to follow...when work stops getting in the way!

Cheer, Matt.

Good stuff mate - can't compete (yet) but added nearly 10K miles in 6 months (now at 92K) so won't be far off at this rate! Cars only have any value when they're driven....IMHO

Indeed, you could leave them in the garage and depreciation would be less, but then what's the point. You may as well just buy a picture and put the rest in the bank :)

Mmm, 24k miles in 7.5 years.

Congrats to Matt and Nick for proving yet again Honda's claim for the everyday supercar. I guess you guys wouldn't be smiling as much if you were running the Fcar.

FWIW, I've clocked a lowly 5k since April but they've all been great fun!

regards

Paul

The NSX is one of the most mileage tolerant cars on the market, let alone for a bona-fide supercar. Me? 34k miles in 3.5 years, and its a weekend toy ;)
