[boobles]

Don't think I have ever seen one of these in the flesh. Was kinda nice actually.

That's a truly lovely looking thing, would love to see one in the flesh.

Not many modern super/hyper cars have an emotional impact on me but that certainly does.

That is lovely. Presumably has a 13B under the bonnet too?

It might be 13B, but is more likely to be a 20B, so triple rather than twin rotor - The Eunos Cosmo was also the first production car to have GPS based navigation fitted...

No image but McLaren Senna, dark grey colour. In Frinton-on-sea just going about its business, very strange

HUGE !!

Probably one of the rarest cars in the U.K I’d wager... only 100 or so made in Japan and maybe a handful here.

NA2 (facelift) NSX-R. Amazing car. Just awesome.







As an avid Honda man it was an absolute privilege to see it in the flesh and made my day!!

I haven't seen one of these on the roads for quite a while, though it looked like this one hadnt moved for a few months

Followed by a Balboni Gallardo going the other way




Spotted it again shortly after in an underground car park, with the owner switching to his other car, the Aventador.



My god it was loud in there!

That would be the Lambo Cat guy: https://jalopnik.com/meet-torako-the-lamborghini-c...

Only in Japan

Nice! Was it being imported?

Saw an F40 behaving itself on the A429 earlier near Stow-on-the-Wold. I don't think I've ever seen one that wasn't red. This one certainly was. A bit later, not in the same league but still interesting, I passed a Studebaker coming out of Membury Services. I was in my truck and waited for him to pass but he must have been going at a very stately pace and didn't catch me.

If I was Honda I would be suing the plastic surgeon for that facelift. They turned a pretty car into a gopping munter.

Plenty of them still on the show circuit, with a great many having been 'dubbed' and modified quite extensively. The real rarity is seeing a stock one!

My mates mums Corrado G60 Storm is still parked up in her garage. She’s owned it from new but it’s been parked up for years due a niggling electric issue.

GT3 RS without a wing?

Difficult to tell from the pictures, but certainly a bitsa of some kind. The decals aren't original or course (both door and rear), the door mirrors are 4 litre styling, the fenders are apparently the carbon ones (optional on the 4 litre and GT2 RS but not the 3.8), the front PU looks like a 3.8 RS with the red insert. Obviously the splitters weren't originally painted either, so why they went for orange to match nothing else on the car is a mystery. Brakes don't look right either - I reckon that it is a tarted up Carrera GTS from what I can see. Lets face it : nobody with an original RS is going to put the word Carrera on the door are they?

My gut is a Carrera GTS probably.

Funnily enough there's one near where I live (as well as an immaculate Saab 900 Turbo convertible and strangely a Rover 800 for that full on 90's experience!).

Marmite, for sure, but it reduced the weight (right) over the nose.

Butter Face - where's that? Looks like a pair of R33s and an FC-series 'rex there too (as well as a DC5).

And a Mitsubishi GTO

It’s at Eurospec in Guildford. They have lots there, FD, FC, R33 GTR, lots of GTOs, 3000GTs, evos etc.

They did some mapping on my EP3 while I dribbled over the NSX and they also let me take out their time attack FK2 into town too!
