Theres always some nice cars around bath I saw a Carera GT THUNDERING down the motorway a couple of weeks ago, and GT3 in black doing 68mph on the M5 on sunday. I shot past it in our little diesel freelander!

Offhand I can point out a Porsche Boxter, 2 SL55 AMGs, an Ultima GTR and a Lambo Murcielago. Damn rich people. Oh well, I can be safe in the knowledge that I devalue the neighbourhood! :lol:

I could also go for a tour around my area and point out numerus Puntos with added plastic bits, Vectras with 4 different alloys and Mondeos with tinted windows.

I think its also a diesel.

Member Posts: 5,947 Group: Members Member #555 Joined: September 28, 2006	Conrad Dec 21 2006, 06:15 PM Why on Earth would you sell a NSX?! Strangest thing happened one day. I took a friend of mine to a Honda Dealership to look at a 635 CSI ( they always have something special) which was mint.The boss seen my NSX and insisted on having it. To cut a long story short , he drove me home in the NSX with a cheque in my pocket and that's the last I seen of the NSX. Heard since that it has been fitted with a Mugen exhaust. I thought it sounded great as it was.

Stu Right on Stu; 1972 Fiat 124 Sports Coupe 1600cc Twincam. 68000 miles from new when I sold it. Absolutley rust free (probably the only one in the UK that didn't) 1 previous owner Was way ahead of it's time eg. Disc brakes alround, 5 speed box, superb lights, twin choke webber, electronic ignition , air horns and more.

Stu Have them somewhere , that one fell out of the same file as the NSX and I scanned them. Should have a lot more because I had to have them for the insurance. You know ,that twincam engine was so strong that it could be uprated to 250bhp without any problem and that was without adding a turbo. She's about Manchester nowadays.

Member Posts: 2,154 Group: Members Member #188 Joined: February 21, 2006	cant believe i missed this thread??? Mike, lovely NSX...those are great cars... My girlfriend had a Honda, did 280,000 miles on the same engine...nothing wrong with it. she now has an 07 Passatt. I was actually looking into a Honda S2000...But im not a fan of Japanese cars. My cousin has a new Subaru Impreza WRX STi with the pro drive pack...Jesus, its lethal, the power, but more so the delivery of the power is sensational. As you know i was thinking of selling the cossie, but witth all the recent articles etc...now is not a good time to sell. I may just store it. Evoluzionize your wheels make your car! They look just fantastic! I love your car full stop...Welldone.

Member Posts: 2,154 Group: Members Member #188 Joined: February 21, 2006	Well, im going to wait till the spring to get them fitted. im thinking that ill use the EVO I wheels in the spring/summer then go back to the 15" in the winter... I cant wait they are sitting in my loft begging to be fitted... But in that time ive given them 10 coats of klasse glaze sealent so when they do go on they will be a breeze to clean Got a few things in store for the black stallion, watch this space!
