And while I'm at my PC, and because I know there are quite a few car nuts here...

My gorgeous NSX is gone. I just couldn't justify keeping it with two young kids, and only two seats. So needed something with small rear seats. There was an obvious choice - I went for the limited 50th Anniversary edition, which is a very nice looking car on the inside and out. Will collect it this coming weekend when I'm back in the UK.

Will miss the NSX though - such a great, and very much under-appreciated, car.

Mani.

No....Mani, say it isn't so unhappy  Your NSX was pristine and such a rare color! Your going to miss it and like many NSX who sell theirs, you'll probably re-purchase one in the future! But yours was just so... Nice!

I just had mine out yesterday after driving the F430 Spider,  I LOVE my NSX!!

Hey Peter, you of all people should know the significance of the 'Mexico' name in the world of motorsport, no?

And anyhow, I'm not taking lessons on aesthetics from someone who has a pair of 'Darth Vaders' in his living room.

... there is no need to sell your car. See!! Happy Happy

Thanks Joachim. Happy

Never fear, Mani, there's a new NSX that may be even better:

Hey Jud, I'm well aware of the new NSX... but still only 2 seats!

No....Mani, say it isn't so unhappy 

Yep, I'm afraid so Todd. From a financial perspective, I should have just hung on to it - it was actually appreciating in value way more than it was costing just sitting in the garage. But I couldn't bear the thought of it just sitting there. It needs to be driven.

Haha... I think the fact that you can use 'NSX' and 'F430' in the same sentence says it all - the NSX is a phenomenal 'driver's car'.

Thanks y'all for your thoughts.

Mani.
