rx-dave...  I hope you will continue to post here, since I am curious what your longer term feelings about the NSX are.  I have driven in a few, but never owned one or had any wheel time to speak of.  I always liked the specification and thought they were attractively priced.  However, Brian Long told me I wouldn\'t enjoy it.  That it would be too soft and commuter-like or Honda-like.  SAo, I\'ll wait for your comments.  Very nice car.

I won\'t be going anywhere :Thumbs-up. RX7\'s play a large part of not only my business but my life. As i get to play with cars all the time i\'ll always see something i "can\'t possibly live without" so i tend to chop and change a lot. Long term? I\'ll be honest and say i\'ll probably get bored as they are far more refined than the RX7 but that\'s what i need at the moment. I\'ve spent a bit of time in hospital and still have problems with my stomach so the hard ride of my RX7 made it really uncomfortable to drive especially in the South Wales area where we have warzone type roads!
Prices of the NSX have risen sharply lately both here and in Japan so it\'ll be an investment at least, this is my 3rd one now and i\'m sure not my last!

So sorry Andy, i\'ll buy another soon so we\'ll still be able to play together :Ladys-man:Ladys-man  
For everyone who knows Andy.........when i sold my blue RX7 last week i didn\'t tell Andy for a couple of days as i felt so unfaithfull for leaving the RX7 clan. When i eventually plucked up the courage to tell him i felt like an unfaithfull man who\'d been caught out with another bird...........strange but true :rollin

I wonder if the engine will fit in my next RX7 :evillaugh:evillaugh..........only joking..........hang on though, i have a spare NSX engine, i could make the first NSX powered RX7, now that would be nice!!

I\'ve only driven it 4 or 5 miles but the other 2 i had drove really well :driving. They are great cars to drive and not that different to an FD as you need to drive them reasonably hard to get the best out of them but with an FD you can get them rebuilt for a considerably less amount of money :2Confused
I don\'t think i\'ll be away from the FD\'s for too long as i\'ve had a row from a few members already but i won\'t mention Andy or Ed\'s name :rolleyes:

No mines a manual :Thumbs-up. My mate Amo bought the rolled one and broke it up for spares, that poor chap didn\'t have a good track day!!
I\'ve had 2 manuals and 1 auto, the auto seems far slower and i wouldn\'t have another one.........unless it was a bargain :cheers.
