A sad goodbye to S5

[Lankstarr]

Having another NSX on the drive didn't make selling S5 any easier and I have to admit being very sad to see it drive away:(

It looked as good as it ever has in my ownership and far better than when I picked it up four years ago!

I wish the new owner all the best and hope he has a hassle free ownership just like I have.

I forgot to take farewell pics as well so no tribute to S5 thread:(

Sort of, congrats. I think.

Is it staying in the UK?

Is he/she a member, or going to be?
It's hard to see them go after so many good drives and memories.

Congrats Luke on the sale, at least you have another newer one to soften the blow! Hopefully the new owner might introduce themself here?

This explains why I saw it heading towards Bristol on the M4 today at about 5pm.

When I saw it I turned to the wife and said, "I wonder where Luke is off too then"

Hi everyone

I am pleased to have bought S5 from Luke. He was a pleasure to deal with (as I'm sure those of you on here will know)-thanks Luke.

Whoever spotted me on the M4 earlier was right-I was heading towards Bristol in the worst weather/traffic combo we've had in a while. I took things fairly gingerly but was impressed again at the 'sortedness' of a 12 year old car.

This is my first NSX. I've had some interesting things in the past, including a 928GT and 928GTS, various SL and SLK Mercs (yes, I know!), an RS2 etc. I was encouraged that I'd fit in an NSX having spoken to Luke and found we are the same height (though I'm 15 years older and maybe a bit more corpulent!). I'd been looking at various Bristols for the past few months (no comments please, I am a newbie after all) but couldn't bring myself to take the plunge.

I've followed various threads on this forum for a month or so now, once I decided to buy an NSX, and I agree with Rocco that it's one of the more informative, courteous and generally useful owners' clubs/fora.

I'll be replacing 'S5' with 'S6' as soon as I sort the paperwork-it seemed a shame not to continue with an appropriate registration, especially as they're so cheap.

I look forward to meeting other owners in the coming months

Cheers

Welcome to the Pack, I am only over the other side of the bridge.

Welcome Stuart.

Of course the good people here will congratulate you on having made a great choice of new car (which of course you have.....'NSX, - the thinking mans supercar'!). I must say, I have always had a liking/fascination for Bristol cars.

Congratulations!

I am a big Bristol fan too. Oo-er missus! The Fighter is the only modern luxury car that displays any sort of tasteful restraint.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the Honda though!
