    I had to stop viewing it because of the absolutly terrible sound quality...Too sad as the guy is a good representer.

    Nice to see him looking for the release of the front hood. But hard to see how harsh he lets drop the engine cover.

    Nice review, even if old Harry did spend a lot of the time on stuff which isn't relevant to how good these cars were / still are.

    Is MY05NSX the Honda UK press car that was crashed and rebuilt few years back?

    Is NSX999 the current Honda UK press demonstrator - I thought I saw it in the Goodwood coverage recently?

    Will part 2 with the NC1 NSX be available soon - next week presumably?

    Harry should have spent 2 minutes checking the specification of the NSX. "avoid the 3 speed auto","air con.optional","ABS optional"

    Q1 correct, it is a Honda UK press car, that was crashed and rebuilt a year or 2 back

    Q2 correct, this is a Honda UK press car, and yes it was at Goodwood.

    Q3 no idea.

    Thanks!

    So not all the cars in Harry's garage belong to Harry. He's not quite Jay Leno.....

    Honda UK picked a great colour for their current fleet.

    That's how advertising works today. Having watched a few videos with Jay Leno his garage is just a marketing plattform and Jay Leno is just a marionette of the companys who pay him for advertising their product. It's a pretty simple approach. The more amateur it looks (bad sound) the more authentic it seems to be. The question is HOW much Honda payed here and there to play the game. If I'd do a video on the car and speak positively about it and compare it to the old one would Honda lend me one for a week?
