Hello again! As a lot of you know I have been waiting to take Jetpilot3's lovely Berlina of his hands for a while now and I finally collected the keys this Thursday - I swear I could see his eyes welling up as I drove away.
As the administrator of the the Middle East group on S2Ki I had organised a drive on Friday (our day off) and thought, what the heck, let's surprise everyone and not bring the S! So I drove up with the NSX to much attention and well wishes. Other drivers who came in after I arrived would look at the car and automatically start looking for Cameron - and I would humbly go up to them say 'it's mine now!' Haha. Actually the NSX had all the attention until a Murceilago (sp?) soft top drove up, with it's 'lambo' doors and all. Though still the NSX got plenty of Kudos!
So on to the drive, the first thing I have to mention is the sound - that Taitec combination is just phenomenal - there were plenty of thumbs up for the sound as well in that regard. For such a low slung Jap 'supercar' I was very impressed with how easy it was to drive (even with the Centerforce cluthc
) The seating position is perfect, very much like the S, it all feels very natural when you are driving.
The thing I had worried about most (even after the test drive) was the non-power steering - parking etc. But you know what?! I love it. It feels so right when you are driving - point it in the direction and it goes! Parking as well is starting to fall into place just after one day of driving!
Then there is the actual feel of the accelaration. Much more visceral than I first thought, especially after a speed bump in first gear, flooring it is unbelieavable, feels like a rocket! vtec in the other gears feels just great aswell - very nice feeling putting your foot down in any gear really.
So all in all, I am pretty happy with the purchase then :biggrin: There are a few niggles of course, but Jetpilot has ensured everything will be sorted in due course - gentleman through and through!
Sorry for the long post, but just very excited - will be posting up some pics in the gallery very soon!
