Chaps,
I attended the "Learn to Drift with Evo" event yesterday and whist chatting with one of their journos (Roger Green) learned a couple interesting bits of NSX related information.
Firstly, the NA2 Type-R did indeed make the Evo top ten best ever cars (it was an online vote) to be featured in their 100th edition and has recently been testing with the other greats in Yorkshire. Fusilov, sorry if you were sworn to secrecy but I wasn't :-)
Roger commented that the NSX-R is indeed a great car but they felt it only attains that final degree of greatness when pushed all the way to the limit... so it won't win BUT as the "best of the best" all these cars are winners anyway.
Secondly, the NA1 Type-R recently for sale in Scotland (http://nsxcb.co.uk/testvb/showthread.php?t=1812) has a new owner. The McLaren F1 owner know as "Flemke" on Pistonheads has apparently bought it. We discussed his Pistonheads posts regarding the suspension work (re-engineering) he was having done on his F1 and his repect and likeing for the NSX last year (http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/testvb/showthread.php?t=1241). Indeed I was lucky enough to bump into man and machine (his fabulous F1) at a filling station in Egham (Surrey) last year where he tried my, Type-S, seats for size. Seems he liked 'em enough to go get a whole car :-)
According to Roger, "Mr" Flemke plans to have the car re-painted from it's current Charlotte Green to Championship White and re-unite it with the correct wheels before it join his F1, and I suspect a few other very special vehicles, somewhere in Europe.
Who knows Mr Flemke might even join our little club and share the progress of his new NSX. He may even be lurking as I type?
Cheers
Mark
