    Default can't believe it hasn't been mentioned ......

    NSX on top gear next week, july 3rd... we can mute the chris evans bits.... (whats the betting he'll be in a yellow t, dark jumper, badly fitting jeans and knackered old boots???)
    aka Jonathan!!

    Given Rory's one-sided slating of the FK2 (hmm...drag race vs 2 4wd cars - of course that's a reasonable comparison!), I'm not holding my breath. If Monkey reviews it then I'll listen avidly. If Chris reviews it then I'm likely to start throwing things at the TV!

    Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
    Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
    Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
    Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
    Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
    Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
    Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof

    Presumably, the tested car will be a pre-production model, not a "customer" car, or Honda UK's demo?

    What a fantastic rTop Gear review and for a change on a dry track to fully exploit its potential just a shame the carrot top presenter said it was like a sail boat floating round the corners.

    Best of all though it was quicker than the 458  and as quick as a Koenigsegg, now that really is impressive 

    Do we have any members on the list to buy one when released?
    Honda NSX NA2 1999
    The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless without an NSX

    Yes, there are at least 3 on here I know of and probably more.

    It actually looks more white than grey and it's right hand drive, (so much for being told at FOS that there's only one RHD made so far)

    I just hope the stig is allowed to wring its neck out on a dry track instead of some bull***t about it being too valuable or "it's not the finished model" because we still have yet to see its true worth against other marques or actual road tested performance figures so this should be good.

    And just to make it more interesting and very spicy the 911R is also tested on the show, this is said to be the greatest 911 ever made so it will be inevitably tested around the track.

    Roll on the great showdown come Sunday evening.

    You found someone at the FOS who knew something!!

    i know of a few RHD drive cars, that's why I was pissed of at Taplow when they couldn't be bothered to bring one along , I mean we're only parting with 150-170k after all.

    all the cars in Japan are RHD except for the one shown at the Tokyo motor show.

    both cars at Goodwood were pre pro, hence the #0000 on the engine cover albeit the Nouvelle Blue one will be the HUK press car I guess.

    the red and the white cars being shown on TopGear are both French registered, if like me you peeled away the NSX plate at Goodwood.

    anyone get to sit / start one up at the FOS?
