    Hello again old forum friends...

    Hello, and specifically to Mike, who I keep talking to at the Scramblers events at Bicester Heritage. It's always nice to reminisce about my NSX days! And it turns out my account on here still...

    Long since sold it. Subsequently had a BMW 130i M LE, then my current Jag XF S (I'm an eclectic car buyer, what can I say).

    I loved the GT-R, it had bags more character than the 997 I tested at...

    I think the i8 is one of the more interesting cars to have been produced in the last few years. Once you get beyond 400 hp or so, cars are all "bloody quick", so the addition of more horsepower,...

    Hi -

    I used to post on here some years ago, a few may remember me from the odd meet. I had a pristine 51 plate NSX 3.2 coupe, with red roof. I sold it to a lovely gent up in North Yorkshire,...

    Hello, long time no post.

    I always feared how a USA designed/engineered NSX would go, and I think my fears may be justified. 550-570hp is nice, but 1725kg and with economy described as poor I'm...

    Thanks.

    One-77 was there, not roped off, could get pretty close. Looks great in the metal, have seen it before though so didn't spend too long around it.

    Great to see such a good turnout. Thought rest of show a bit disappointing this year. Photo for you:

    There's lots of horror stories around. But then they make a lot of cars. I think I was lucky with mine, it really never needed much doing. I had a new starter motor and some reversing sensors, and...

    With respect, drive one and find out for yourself. They do *not* drive themselves, in that regard I was as surprised as the next man.

    I did sell the NSX for a good price, you're right. I regret selling it a bit, though truth is I just wasn't using it and there's no point having an expensive ornament.

    The GTR is great, worth a...

    Shame you had to sell. This won't be any comfort, but the NSX is the *only* car I've regretted selling, I should have just kept it.

    James - try not to prang it eh? ;)

    Yes, sadly that thread has degenerated somewhat, as pretty much any thread on Pistonheads does. Or indeed any forum it seems. I don't know, its almost like the internet is full of total arseholes.

    Nice composition and very sharp, good colours. If I was being critical, it would be to say that if that's a tracking shot then its a shame there's no sense of movement in the photo. Still good though!
