    When i got the NSX it took me 6 hours to go down to pick it up...

    and 3 hours to get home... Go figure

I asked, I tried to persuade them, but in the end could not convince them to do it, and the McLaren F1 ended up equipped with a BMW engine.

    Look forward to seeing even more of you here - I have 'seen' you in action sorting out some pillocks on Pistonheads - I know you know your stuff!

    Hi Martin

    Thanks for you kind comments and I am glad it has worked out well and it won't be long now. The car is in mint condition and I am sure it will look the part parked beside other well kept NSXs. Best of luck to Dan in Canada as you have to try these things when you are young and you might have to chnage your name since you are now exploring the world to IndiDANa Jones

    My previous car was an Atom and previous to that an Evo FQ330 and a Ferrari 355 so I know some of the pain factor of the Italian classics. I realize that a Lambo is more cash and more pain in the pocket so I might just save up for another 9 months to provide a bottomless car fund for repairs etc. The NSX has been my best car yet and only a Lambo could surpass it in my opinion for the overall package (if we ignore costly repairs for a second). I am going to hire a Caterham for a day to see how I get on but having went through an empty bus shelter in an Atom in 2007 I might stay away from kit type cars for a wee while longer (it might be safer for everyone concerned). I have enjoyed the respect the NSX gets from all types of people.

    I am like most people in that I have dreams and wishes for the future however I count myself lucky to have owned an NSX even for such a short time and I take each day as it comes and I plan to keep logging in to this site as I have enjoyed it immensely. I will possibly not replace the NSX until next April 2010. Until then Happy Honda driving to one and all

    Sorry that you have sold up Donnac and good luck in the future. If you do get a Lmabo in the future, I would love to see some pics.

    Welcome Martin, finally at last you are now a owner of a great car.

    DTM, nice to hear you are still around & good luck in Canada pal.

    Hmmm... nice car but personally I'd go for the the Z06 over the ZR1. I'd go for the Audi R8 (V8) and the latest Porsche 998 GT3 ahead of either 'vette, an Ascari KZ1 over all of those and a Porsche Carrera GT if a McLaren F1 was out out of reach... which, sadly, it most definitely is

    As for the a Diablo, even in SV trim... you must be crazy! Oooooold tech, big, fat, heavy and badly built. JMHO of course. Good luck if you're really brave enough

    Cheers

    Mark

    Very skeptical of those results. You wouldn't think the Yank report was biased by any chance, would you?

    The McLaren MP4 12c is going to cost £150k.
    Have sold a kidney for the deposit.
