But your car is probably the heaviest and least designed for hoonage.

Agree about the shots. Brilliant.

Is that true about there only being two of those facelifted ones left in the UK?

If so, I know where the other one lives, and it isn't quite as clean as the blue one!!

Supposedly, i know of one other one in Leamington Spa, the car in the pics was bought from Scotland. They are extremely rare in the UK now, a few have been exported.

MY05 NSX it was.

Not instragram, photoshop, increased shadows and highlihts, it was an iphone 3 image that was really dark.

Mega lucky you are, bet they sound stunning in the flesh.

It was ace following the facelift, gave it a right bootful and sounded mega. Loads of people stopped and admired both cars, some i dont think could believe they saw 2 NSX's in one place.

So 6 months down the line, 3600 miles covered (i do not use the car in the week, walk to work which is only 5 mins from home), the Punto is behaving well, had 2 repairs, oil seals for the drive shafts and a new bonnet cable. Overall, i am really happy with the car and enjoying driving. Here is a pic of her with a couple of new friends hehe

Wow, very lucky to be in the company of those two!

Nice car fella!
