    Default Goodwood Breakfast Club - Japanese Sunday - 7 Oct 2018

    Is anyone going to the Goodwood BC tomorrow?
    From their preview page it seems like the NSX will be quite prominent, presumably Honda's 3 (the red auto, orange 55 plate and blue NC1).
    Firstly our iconic grid will this year be populated with Nissan GT-Rs and Skylines, celebrating the launch of the incredible GT-R50 at the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard earlier in the year. Secondly our themed paddock area, which less than a month ago was masquerading as Silverstone in 1948, will be filled with Honda NSXs of every generation.

    I'll be there in my silver G1 Insight so come and say hello, and it would be good to see some old faces again

    cheers

    The 3 Honda UK NSX's shown in the photo was taken after the 2016 Supercar Breakfast Club meeting and I should know as I parked up the red auto into position as the driver had disappeared to the loo.

    I'll be at Bicester.

    Not a big fan of the Breakfast Clubs and their rather haphazard approach to which cars are allowed in and which aren't.
    "No man with a good car needs to be justified"

    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

    The regime at Goodwood BC is very different these days - you need to register in advance both as an attendee and as a prospective exhibitor; so it's no longer a case of trying to get in but being decided on by the whim of a marshall (years ago, I arrived in the NSX for "Supercar Sunday" and was sent into the-then "Tesco" hard standing area, along with various other interesting cars like a Ford RS200, meanwhile the marshall was waving through the entire Aston Martin V8 Vantage owners club...)

    Anyway; it was a lovely morning, not too rich in NSX pickings (one NC1, one silver auto NA2 and maybe 6 or 7 NA1s in total) - no sign of the Honda press cars and the "Silverstone paddock" that presumably had been intended for an NSX display had only about 4 in there.

    Ewan, you have been gone for far too long....you have obviously forgotten there is no such thing as an automatic NA2...
    Presume you mean an auto 2002+ model?
    Hope you are well?
