hmmm... I had the chance to attend an imports sportscars gathering in Greater London. There were 5 NSX'es in all, amongst which one was the fabled NSX-R (2004). I was just speechless...

hmmm... Today I felt like I was home, meaning back in America! Why? I FINALLY saw a NSX! Make that 5, hehe... And not just any 5 NSX'es, but my fav' combinations or models:
- Hockenheim Green Pearl NSX-T {ie. Brooklands Green Pearl} w/ tan interior (pure class! *cough* Bentley *cough* )
- Daytona Yellow Pearl NSX coupe {ie. Spa Yellow} AND a black canopy... (talk about keepin' it R-E-A-L...! ) & onyx interior, w/ Dali-CF Mugen replica rear wing!
- Magnum Grey Pearl NSX-T w/ onyx interior (my favorite of favorite combo's... S-T-E-A-L-T-H...! )
- Formula Red NSX coupe w/ onyx interior (ultimate combo' for a true sportscar! )
AND (drumroll!)
- Platinum White Pearl 2004 NSX-R w/ red interior (S-P-E-E-C-H-L-E-S-S! )
Also worth noting... :biggrin:
ALL the NSX'es today had OEM wheels (16/17 seven-spokers w/ different finishes, while the NSX-R had the OEM 17/17's w/ the white finish). In the 'States, 3 of the 4 NSX'es would have had aftermarket wheels.
NONE of the NSX'es today had been lowered/'slammed' w/ aftermarket springs/shocks. Stateside, lowering springs or track-tuned suspension is usually the next mod. following aftermarket wheels.
I'd like to personally thank Brown Bear for personally getting in touch w/ me and then going out of his way to pick me up in my humble abode in Essex, giving me ride over & back!
(I had been w/o the roar of vtec above 5,000 rpm's for nearly 3 1/2 months!?! Looking fwd to meeting all of you at 8,000rpm's soon... )
