As another bay area owner of an 97 MCB / camel, this hurts my heart. I would recommend Cologne Auto Body for body / paint work (even without Jim there anymore - see Luis) and San Carlos Auto Solutions (who works on many NSXs and whose owner Kenneth owns one too) for any mechanical work.

I'd be interested, especially farther north like Mountain View. Sundays would be best for me. Thank you for arranging!

1250 Old County Rd Belmont, CA 94002 (650) 592-3657 They go under the separate name Belmont Car Center and also under the name of the body shop at the same location Cologne Auto Body. Chip

Jim is back at Belmont Auto Center in Belmont, no longer at Sunnyvale Acura. He is still the best.

10:07? Chip

Sunnyvale Acura would be anything but a random tech. Jim Russell is the service manager there, and he is an NSX expert I exclusively go to despite the distance away.

I got a bit curious/concerned by your post, ImolaOrange03, so called up Barrett Jackson. They said they are not getting out of the insurance business. However, they said they are changing the way that cars 10 years old or less are being priced. Given yours is a 2003, that includes you but not...

That's odd. My Barrett-Jackson insurance policy just renewed at the end of August, and my rates were unchanged. $200 liability/year for $1M coverage, and $89/year for coverage for my NSX at $50K agreed value. I wonder if the rates went up since then, or the silly tickets you mentioned were...

I just got both my NSX and BMW serviced at Sunnyvale Acura with Jim. I was very impressed with way the dealership treated me (nice loaner car, everyone coming up and introducing themselves like I was a famous person, followup call from dealership manager to make sure I was satisfied, etc.) and...

I don't know. You should ask Jim that, I think. I do know that I first began working with Jim when he was service manager at Hopkins, and there he either worked on my NSX personally (esp. for tricky issues like noises) or closely supervised one of his best people in doing so. But I don't know...

Update: Jim just told me that Sunnyvale Acura made him a good permanent offer, and he has decided to stay. So if you want to see him (and I continue to believe he is a fantastic resource for our NSXs), it looks like Sunnyvale Acura will be the place. Chip

Good news. I had the same concern when they told me that too and was bummed out. However, I spoke to Jim last night, and he says the new gig is temporary and he will be back at Belmont Car Center (where he remains a partner) soon. (See update to this below) Meanwhile, he is the service...

Re: 3rd Annual BBQ/Potluck & POKER game at Makena88's house - August 26 2011 (Friday) That would have been me this year! Lost most of it in a big head-to-head pot on something like the 3rd hand, and then with a very small stack had to go for it more than usual or I'd have no chance, so the...

Re: 3rd Annual BBQ/Potluck & POKER game at Makena88's house - August 26 2011 (Friday) Yes, that was the procedure last year. Everyone coming had to do the same buy-in at the poker table, but could then choose whether to play or just leave their contribution in the winner's pot and be a...

I will already be in Pacific Grove the night before, and will drive over when my friend arrives from SF mid-morning. Chip

Re: 3rd Annual BBQ/Potluck & POKER game at Makena88's house - August 26 2011 (Friday) 1. Makena88 (Steven) - BBQ Short Ribs or Brisket, etc...... 2. Dhalsim - box of kleenex for Steven and drinks 3. 02#154 - I'll think of something to bring later 4. Calexand (Chip) - I'll bring some good red...

Does anyone have one of the original black front aprons from the first few years of the car, which are smaller than the 97+ ones? All the dealer has now are the 97+ ones, but I have constant issues with hill transitions near my house in the hills, even when I go slowly and at a sharp angle, so...

Reminder about the Concorso Italiano coming up next month. I go every year, and it is a great show, not so much for the small group of NSXs (nice as that is) but for the rest of the show. I will be there with my Monte Carlo Blue again this year. Chip

Re: *SHOWING TODAY* Ayrton Senna - Beyond The Speed Of Sound Count me in for Thursday at 6:30. Chip

Re: *SHOWING TODAY* Ayrton Senna - Beyond The Speed Of Sound I'd be interested. Sorry I missed the first showing. Can we do it some Tue or Wed evening?

No problem. Chip
