If I get my hands on the loser @ NWHL who washed my Prelude with a rock, I'll hurt him badly.

If he does it to the NSX...

WASH IT YOURSELF! :)

Don't need washing, as long as you can find the door handle and see out it's ok.

No it isn't - I usually ask them not to do so, but I forgot & the buggers got their revenge.

The 'Lude has got better today; I suppose it needed a random-orbital sand anyway.

I know they once used a tree as an NSX clutch-aligning tool. I'd better remember to aske them not to, if ever my clutch needs changing.

Spotted green targa auto R15 KAE at Buckfastleigh. Looked to be on holiday down here as there was a parking permit for somewhere in Essex in the window.

I have a ' please don't wash me' tag which I keep inside Y1's service book and dangle from the rear view mirror on each visit. Works a treat.

regards,

I was around that way today, but alas not in the NSX. Saw plenty of 'Exotics' making the most of it though; Orange Gallardo and two 550 Maranello's (one a Spyder)....how common.

Good idea!

Can one buy these from Fleabay or something?

No (well, not that I know of, but I haven't looked) - I skilfully constructed mine from a hotel 'do not disturb, I am doing things' door dangly thing, some plane white paper, a black fibre tipped pen and some 'prit-stick' glue.

I am sure that a man of your engineering genius could knock-up something equally impressive Nick!

:D

That's sort of what I was thinking!

I've got a "I'm down the pub" one for the office doorhandle; I use it far too rarely these days, sadly.

I love that look. Always better for a cracking car to look dirty rather than fussy :cool:

Drifting

Oulton Park "introduction to drifting", generally between £100 and £150. Low-grip surface, which they then bowser with water to make it more slippery, so you don't get out of second gear but can still lose traction all the way round. There are tyres and cones to hit so it is not without risk - an M3 took its front end off yesterday and there's usually 4 or 5 light dings throughout the day. I usually take the MX5 but risked the NSX this time for logistical reasons.

The next day is 6th November (details here)

Some videos of previous outings so you can see the tracks and get a feel for how the day works:
Helmet-cam in NSX (this was last year before they started wetting the track)
Rollbar-cam in MX5
Me smacking into the barriers in Evo They've since removed those big barriers after about half the field damaged their cars on them that day! The tyres are still there though.

Personally I think it's the dogs' danglies but it's not everyone's cup of tea and there is a fairly high risk of smacking your car into something (albeit at low speed). Soooo rewarding when you get it right though :)

This is the first Marga Hills kitted NSX I've seen in the UK (apart from mine). Despite the 'two-tone' it still looks mighty stunning...:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Norton Way Honda, Letchworth, this morning. Red with black roof - looked like it was going in for a service. Very nice looking and a good reminder of how well the cars look with the black roof (low and mean) :)

Purple? As in the almost black purple or something lighter? Interested as I have been wondering what a lighter purple NSX would look like.

I thought it was the standard purple colour. I was caught a bit off guard as I was looking for my son's accomodation block and the sat nav kept losing the satelite (trees overhead) so I had gone whizzing past where I was supposed to stop and was looking to turn round. My son said he'd seen it too as he was collecting his flat keys.

spotted G1

Thought I had seen 2 NSX's on the same day but turned out to be the same car twice!
7.30am just past J5 on M25 and then again about 4.00 just north of Croydon on A23!

Was in my van but did try and catch your eye Duncan but traffic was busy!

Spotted yesterday (26th Oct 2010) an all yellow popup on the A303 near Wincanton at about 4pm heading west. Due to central reservation couldn't see reg.

NSX 2000

Took the car to be serviced at Norton way (Letchworth) on Saturday and spotted a silver NSX reg K** NSX in the car park, then as I left R* NSX went past going in the opposite direction.

Can't belive I've spotted 3 in just a few days.
