Stunner. Such a cool car!

Great write up @Cooper .

Will it be staying standard, or do you have any plans for it?

I ordered a sports racer (ltd edition) gear knob for it and the dealers fitted it for me on collection. That's it so far. Mostly the plan is to put a reasonable amount of miles on it over the next few months and sort any niggles.

Would love an exhaust. The v6 sounds stunning and just needs to find a louder voice. Something like ...



Thanks for the comments folks!

Oh and I almost forgot. Once the v5 appears I can put a fairly obnoxious plate on the car. I will save the surprise, but suffice to say I left the deposit on the car, and immediately ordered the reg on the DVLA site.

The next morning I had complete buyers regret. But it's bought now so has to go on it!

Looks stunning! I too have toyed with the idea of one of these (usual Pistonheads surfing that you mentioned got me interested too!) I'll be following the thread to see how you get on with it. As it wouldn't be my daily driver the newer BMW M/Audi S3/Golf R type thing wouldn't really interest me, but something more raw like this I would say would be the job!

It's an awesome colour and I was just about to say just needs a decent number plate to finish it... until I read your last post! :grinning:

Saw this thing yesterday en route to Cars at the Mill.

Looks fantastic. Stunning in the metal and sounds great too. A rare thing on the roads these.

Nice job! Chap I worked with a couple of years back had two one after the other with the second being a sports racer. Definitely different and a nice place to be. (y)

They are a lovely car (y)(y)
Health to drive and far nicer than any the same old 'more power' German nonsense that offers very little in terms of driver fun!

Lot of styling cues of the original NSX but better to copy from the best :cool:

Just had Andy round at the house in this, it's absolutely phenomenal in the metal, pics just don't do it justice. It genuinely looks like a super car!

We went for a rip over to Portrush and the attention it draws is insane. Such a smooth car to be in, comfortable, sounds great and goes like the clappers....loves to rev!

Very very impressed...

Thanks folks. It seems to get a fair bit of attention which I wasn't really expecting. Someone hopped out in traffic in Belfast over the weekend to take a photo, same in the port yesterday :oops:
