With looks of it she goes to her new owner on friday, she has given me nearly 2 years of uter faultless motoring, great MPG,8.30 laps on the ring (btg) and countles other track days without a hiccup. Battered off the limiter all the way and carried 8 in comfort...dont ask!

I will miss the fruits of my DC5 (hopefully the car that eventually repaces will more than make up for it )

Nice car

BUT are you hinting at some degree of percentage of doubt that the "X" may not going live up to the DC5?

I think the intended message might be more "the car that hopefully replaces it will more than make up for it"

The car actually went today, 3 chaps from london came to view. they went over her with a fine tooth comb. Even got it up on the ramps at a local garage which is an added bonus for someone buying any car imo.

They had 12k cash so off to the bank we went for them to check it over. all good so she was theirs..and seeing it drive on the road made me realise how much a nice car on the road it looks. I couldnt stop looking at it and ive had it 2 years !

So now with that over with i can concentrate on my hunt for an X, ill see u all at japfest whoevers going and ill be picking your brains and sat in your seats :)

Im feeling like ive lost something, im a bit gutted the DC5 has gone, to find another red in that condition would be very hard i think. humpf.

So when i do get an NSX and if the time comes to sell what the hell ill replace it with ill never know- if its for finacial reasons ill be so gutted i can bet. But first got to get one and enjoy it as thats what lifes for eh.. ;)

Dan when you do get an X, it will be worth the wait & you will love it, so theres no need to think about parting with it & what to replace it with, when you've got to own one first !! :bigsmile: Sorry to hear you've sold DC5, so I assume you have runabout until you find your X? :) Where in Lancs are you? :rolleyes:

Well it's a sad day to see a car like that go.

What to replace an NSX with though would be a lot harder.
Don't even think about it until you have owned it for long enough.

I still think your avatar looks like a Honda Jazz :)
