    Yer, i live in Hornsby Heights and go thought there even weekend or 2, he doesnt move many of the more expensive cars, i think he makes most of his money from the chaper cars he has on the roof, he had a TVR there the other day and i had never seen one before, looked pretty cool i thought.

    definitely the NSX. forget underpowered, that thing is a rocketship. to my untrained-passenger-sphincter it goes 9/10ths as hard as the Gallardo, but feels more nimble with a beautiful connection to the road. the induction roar over 4k rpm is fantastic (i was in it yesterday at redline several times) and it actually sounds pretty decent from the outside. also, you wouldn't believe how good the visibility is, it makes anything this side of a clubman seem like you're enclosed in a tank.

    oh, as for spots, i saw a black NSX on greenhill rd yesterday, may have been that one. we were going the opposite direction, i mumbled "mmm sweet NSX", and the gf just about did an injury craning her neck to see it. i wondered why and asked her why she cared so much (she doesn't give a toss about cars) and she said "oh, i thought you said 'theres people having sex' " :D

    I drove an NSX at PI in about '92.

    i really liked it, but 360C didn't like it cos "it was boring"

    I'm getting sick of hearing the 430 spider of my neighbour's taking off and returning every day. what can i do about it? i'm also sick of hearing his perfect blip blip downchanges. am i just jealous? there's something about it that makes me want to drive me car.

    tell ya what....they're bloody loud, those 430s.

    i'd love to hear what mine sounds like one day. pity i never let anyone drive it, really.

    heh. :) it's funny how most owners don't really know just how great their car sounds. mates of mine would just say "farken sweet" so i thought mine sounded decent enough, until i heard my old man thrashing it through the hills... i fell in love all over again.

    still can't believe the messerschmidt/911 2.7 that came out on sunday. :eek: 300m behind his exhaust would fill your cabin and you'd swear that his gear-changes were yours... and that you were the Red Baron. it completely drowned out goober's GT4. never heard anything like it.

    Well, I did steal it once. The nicest thing about your car was the clutch. I can't belive how progressive and light it was, you'd never dream of stalling the car. Funny thing, I seem to recall someone who had a lot of trouble with it, what was his name?

    Drove a very early 3.0 liter one for a few days back in 1990. It was a seriously impressive machine except for the brakes. They were utter rubbish. Horrid single pot calipers front and rear, disgraceful in both feel and performance. The engine revved really nicely and it had a nice box and excellent throttle feel. The version I drove was a special apparently with the power steering deleted which was apparently supposed to be a Japan only feature. The steering was really really tactile, lovely. It was a dealer demonstator and apparently all sucessive models had the electric power steering which was apparently.....horrid!

    The spare parts prices make Ferrari prices look cheap BTW, be warned.

    Regards,

    Carl.

    My fault for trying to be gentle with it. I should have just wound it up to 8500rpm and dumped the clutch! What, with all those oil leakes and the bananna chassis it's not like I could add to anything. ;)

    Pansy Scotty, Pete's car needs 9,200. That's what I used anyway.
