Default 3 days, 3 NSX's...

Is it take your NSX out week or something ??? Seen one on tuesday in Frimley, one yesterday near Wokingham, and one today near Reading.

All three in red and different number plates each time.

I can't remember the last time I saw one on the road, maybe I should invest in a lottery ticket this week

I dunno how much fun they are on the track (i know they fast round a track, but fast and fun are different), but I never liked driving them on the road when I was at Honda, just, well, dunno, wasnt much of anything.

my missus was driven around the nuerburgring GP circuit by anthony davidson in a type-r one. he was expecting her to be all impressed but she just said that she'd been round quicker in my old cossie. he was a bit upset about that.

i would love a go in one and properly hammer it around a track, but i bet that they're a nice drive on the road if not the fastest thing out there. you would have to be on the right roads to enjoy it properly - the swiss alps

there is a red one parked by the side of the road in Spencer's Wood or somewhere around there Greg. Doesn't look well loved though, dull paint, just parked up on the pavement etc

There's one near Fleet too! And there'd be one in Farnborough if I could find one for the right price

P.S Greg, you MOTd any of the cossies yet?

Dunno whether they are any good, just one of those cult cars for me and seeing three in three days probably won't happen again unless I go to a Honda show

The one in Frimley had an NSX plate too, maybe the same

All three I saw were nice, clean and looked "looked after".

Neither, although a japanese 4x4 (not coupe), or a landy may be on the cards one day

those wheels were aftermarket made by azev. if you need spares, i think you have to buy the wheels flat, and get the holes bored out. awkward cunts!!!
