Perspective probably doesn't help, but by god that Bentley looks an inelegant lump of granite in comparison.

This. Slightly OT I know, but I was amazed when I first saw a McLaren F1 up close, it’s *tiny* (I think smaller than a Mk1 Focus).

Certainly looks huge next to it.

The NSX is smaller than I remember, would love a drive in one.

A few weeks ago on A13. Was like seeing Mick Jagger shopping in Tescos. No one else at all seemed to be bothered apart from me lololol. Driven by a young anorexic looking androgynous model type blonde, who looked totally uninterested in driving it.

I saw THJ driving his ages ago, and barely anyone gave it a second glance. Except this saddo, who was struggling to get his phone out of his pocket quick enough.

He was on a Zoom meeting a few weeks ago talking about that, among the other beauties in his showroom, he's actually put quite a few miles on it, relatively speaking.

Excuse the railings, saw this CSL in the BMW car park in Farnborough.

“Holy cow! The Joker’s escaped! To the Batmobile, Robin!”

“Sorry Batman: it’s in for a service at BMW Farnborough and they only gave us a 116d courtesy car!”

“Oh f**k it then.”

Which is meant to read Acura, Honda’s premium sub brand across the pond...

Exactly.... so nothing strange about it...? It's actually a DVLA Auction plate that made £300 in July 15...!

It’s not an Acura though, it’s a Honda!

That’s like someone sticking an Alpina private plate on a regular BMW

It doesn't say "Acura". It's a just crap.

Thats my pride and joy! I am going to talk to the ombudsman about this matter...

A bargain if you ask me.

If the plate is your pride and joy, then you have your priorities wrong. If the car is your pride and joy, then the plate spoils it.

...except the NSX WAS branded Acura (not Honda) in the US. So it's not quite like your BMW example...more like someone putting a Miata plate on an MX5.

So in the UK it doesn't really make sense unless you know the NSX...or it's a US import...or you're an American.
