Feeling a little depressed (but also cheerful!) this morning

Remember going to sainsburys in the TVR Cerbera and parking in the Mother (Sexist!) and Baby space. I had two poeple descend on me within seconds. The irony being that my 1 year old was in the car with me! Soon shut them up. Having said that one of them went off on one for a few minutes.

We were trying to park in town with 2 young toddlers in the car and a couple in a boxster parked in the space we had been waiting for.

Voiced my dissaproval

'scuse me, these are mother and baby spaces'

and the reply was indicative of the general iq of the people who park in these spaces

'i've had two kids so we can park here'

i just gave up at that part as her intellect was clearly sub human

Should have replaced the sh1tbox with an Atom, in this day and age, NSX's are only driven by people with chest wigs - it's 2006 not 1980 something.

Well it made number 6 in EVO's top 50 so that has to count.

To speak that way of an NSX shows that you have not driven one yet. The NSX is was not a car of the 80S. The NSX pushed the way forward for other supercars in terms of ergonomics and usability, let along handling.

BTW I think that the F430 looks great, so I am not having a go.

With regards to the Disable Parking spaces, I iagree they are for disable people.

Living in Cardiff I go over the Severn Birdge several times a month, and is shameful the number of not disable people that just get disable badges to dodge the toll and park in a cosy space.

Cheers,

Ive driven an nsx and felt it was dated and slow, a porsche boxster s has similar performance, handling and power for half its asking price - ergo why none were sold at the £68k asking price for the last 2/3 years.

If the NSX had evolved like the other cars in the sector it would currently have circa 450-500bhp, cost in the mid 50's and be selling well.

If you are going to quote magazine stats you will miss the point. I can buy a cheap Turbo car and get 500 BHP the next day. The NSX is more about the overal package, and the uniqueness and finesse of it, but different strokes for different folks. I am happy with my NSX-R.

BTW here is a good video to watch:

Not bad for 290 BHP!

Put an end to this car parking discrimination. Simply get rid of the mother/baby and disabled spaces making everyone equal. Anyone with a marque with a market value of over £50k should be allowed valet parking.

...or afford an appropriate second car for shopping

How do you know if someone is disabled or not, you seem to be an expert, do share ?

When they race past you like a bat out of hell and you catch them at Magor Services and realize they are just plonkers using a permit that probably belongs to a relative, who probably owns the car too on motability, that is how.

motobility lol, one of the great automotive scams of all time. heres how to get a brand new car for free and get £50 cashback.

Get your granny to claim she cant walk very well. then claim you have to drive her to the shops cos she hasnt got a drivers license.

Used to work in a ford dealership. 1 motab came back with 92k miles on it in 3 years. Was used as a taxi LOL.
