Test drive please...?

[NiallNSX]

I really need to get behind the wheel of a 2002+ car in the next few weeks or it's gonna have to be the GTR. I don't mind being patient for an NSX to come up for sale - if I adore the driving experience as much as I hope to then I'll wait as long as it takes. However, being patient just to drive one and maybe discover it isn't for me when I can just buy a GTR today seems silly. Is anyone trusting/generous enough to let me? I am 38, no claims or convictions, have driven many fast(er) cars and will pay any expenses as well as flatter you constantly at how beautiful your car is (I have seen one in the metal and that was everything I hoped for). PMs please...?

Where abouts do you live or how far would you travel might help people answer

Good point

I am in Chelmsford, Essex but am happy to travel a couple of hours either direction. (Thanks.)

I own both cars (GTR and NSX ) Two totally different cars .The NSX is simple and uncomplicated and can be pushed to the limit.The GTR is just brutal and makes a silk purse out of a sows ear. Out of all the cars I have driven nothing comes close to the Gtr.

What the GTR will be like ages remains a big question. The NSX never seems to date or age and is as tight now as when it was new .

I've never driven a GTR but I see they cost a lot to service and you don't want to even slightly damage one:

I'm sure most of you have seen that already though

But I guess if you can afford the car...

Service is cheap. Damage well a few HPC are taking the mick on parts but thats the norm with any new car. Try wrapping up your NSX and finding some one really competent with aluminium repairs? All rare and unusual cars have their crosses to bear

Service at Litchfields is very reasonable, less than half Nissan's prices - (a specialist in Gloucestershire that carries out warranty approved work: http://www.litimports.co.uk/nissan_gtr_servicing.asp ). The accident damage story was incorrect - full price was around £4000 and the system doesn't deploy as easily as some people have said - you have to drive into something basically. The way I figure it, it's insured anyway if that happens. It may be the way I go but I want to be sure I'm doing the right thing.
