Another 'fastest' colour NSX visited my place today.

Very clean and at low mileage that can be backed up by the clean state of the chassis parts under the body.

At the beginning of the Health Check, I normally spend about 30min for the Q&A session to understand how the NSX was serviced as well as to understand the driving condition and style of the owners.
