The fact that anyone owns an NSX should be enough for the next owner to give them good grace.Quote:

I suppoe it is very easy to be over critical of other people's cars, especially if you are fortunate to start with one that is perfect (or new!) - at the end of the day they are just that, cars, and meant to be enjoyed from the inside more than most in the NSXs case! I would say your only fault it not driving it enough by the sounds of it! ;)
Totally agree...Quote:

Have had lots of good (company car) metal over the years inc; 84 Lotus Esprit Turbo, 85 911 Carrera sport, Merc 500SLC, etc. I now buy cars but find it difficult to part with them (moved from being an expenditure item to asset). I now have 7 cars (4 of which I bought at less than 2 years old) and cost over £130k in folding readies (I really do have a problem).Quote:

Japfest is the 19th of May (Saturday) details are here

Would be great to have you along as well, I don't think we have many facelift NA2's coming at the moment.
So what other cars do you have. £130k sounds a lot, but not really that much for 7 cars.
Cars I drive at the moment (4 of them) set me back £56.5k and the newest was 4 years old, I hate the initial depreciation but 'might' buy something new soon.

Ratbag Ragtop (missus keep happy, me keep NSX): 04 Saab 9.3 Convertable.
01 Fiat Punto LX: (number one daughter)
98 VW Polo: (number two daughter).
99 Suzuki Jeep Softop: (kids beach car).
You can see where the money is spent of course and the insurance is crippling but what the hell! Now we have the new emmissions tax to support. Any bright ideas on how to mitigate these costs?
I think I might be able to wangle the Japfest trip as I am in the process of buying a flat in Devon and could combine two things together.
cheers

Thought I'd bump this thread as someone at Brands Hatch was asking about the 'Lipstick' coloured NSX - Monza Pearl?
See post #7.
For the first time ever I saw I think an NSX-R (or something that looked very similar to one). The weird thing is, it was a UK car; 04 registration but I saw it just a few miles from my little village of Neuheim in the middle of no-where in Kanton Zug, Switzerland?! Last Sunday eve 27th Sep about 6 PM going up the Edlibachestrasse road near Neuageri:) I was in a Porsche 912 but couldn't persuade the owner to follow him to get a pic:( I would have had about a 3 second window to get one, mind you....
Neil’s just confirmed to me it’s now gone to Switzerland but never forgotten.😢
