Home Page - Random photo

[Senninha]

If you have interesting photos that you would like on the home page, then please PM for my email address and I'll make every effort to ensure you're P&J is featured here on NSXCB


So in the interests of adding some visual interest to the home page, without the need for major site changes, there is now a Random Photo that I'll be changing from time to time.

As the keen eyed Ed (m666) spotted the first one I listed was from the very first Japfest event.

The 2nd photo was of the Charlotte NSX-R now in the care of Chris (NationofZeros)

So who can identify the Blue NSX that was available over the weekend, or the engine bay currently on display?

:dunno: ... then have a guess

As I change the home page, I'll copy the photos here for those interested and to try and stop myself duplicating photos .... unless by special request.

regards, Paul

[WhyOne?]

Blue car - W2 NSX?

[Senninha]

Blue car - W2 NSX?

Well spotted Ian ....

[NSX 2000]

Blue car - W2 NSX?

An old photo as I've not lived at that house for over 4 years now.

Still have the wheels at the back of the garage.

[WhyOne?]

Engine bay - Lukes old car post detail?

[Senninha]

Your too good ...



Lets try something different ...

[Papalazarou]

Hi Paul,

Just got back from holiday. No internet, so hadn't seen the front page change. Looks great with the pic.

Cheers,


James.

[WhyOne?]

Boomin33's car running West along M4, before Swindon, towards Castle Coombe / Japfest, 2009?

[Senninha]

Yep, this is Rob (Boomin33) actually travelling in a straight line :)

Somebody's Red/Black through your bonnet grill......could be a lot of contenders.

Somebody's Red/Black through your bonnet grill......could be a lot of contenders.

SS

Good start, now the challenge ... who's Red/Black can you see? One clue is that the current owner had only recently aquired the NSX ahead of this meeting.

Good Luck ...

[Senninha]

The NSX 'hidden' by the grille panel is the very clean JDM as owned by Mart155.

The photo was taken at the cleaning day held at Matt's old factory that started the OCD for NSX polishing!

[TheSebringOne]

Is the latest photo with Papa's old car along with yours Paul (S), before the bonnet mod?

[SILVER BULLET]

Is it just me ? the home page doesn't come up any more, what am I missing ?

Cheers,

Ian

[Senninha]

Is the latest photo with Papa's old car along with yours Paul (S), before the bonnet mod?

Good(ish) spot James,

Yes this is Papa's previous LBBP before it headed East. And yes it is my car in its OEM Magnum but with the Procar bonnet

Is the latest picture, Nigel's lovely pearl white beauty?

[mutley]

Is the latest picture, Nigel's lovely pearl white beauty?

Maybe it's my screen but looks silver to me.................Facelift too ??

[Silver Surfer]

Is it Ollie's silver 02+ ?

SS

[m666 edd]

Definitely pearl, compare the paint to the wheel colour

[Senninha]

Sebring or Pearl ... 2 votes for each at present ...

[gumball]

It's the amazing teflon pearl car.

[Senninha]

It's the amazing teflon pearl car.

Is the right answer ... photo taken at the Gaydon Supercar meeting a couple of years ago

[Sudesh]

The new pic looks like the NA2 NSX-R that recently sold in the UK, and the owner is a member here.

[Justin]

The new pic looks like the NA2 NSX-R that recently sold in the UK, and the owner is a member here.

Yep, looks like the real deal... not much to go on, but I'm assuming that Sudesh's answer is based on the fact that most homage or pretend NSX-Rs go for a Tuner wheel. Also has the rear de-mister switch deleted from the right hand side (it's replaces cruise on the left on the UK spec NA2 NSX-R).

[Sudesh]

There are no genuine UK spec NSX-R's. The blank is always on the right hand side of NSX-R which replaces the cruise control button. De mister is on the left.
The MOMO wheel is standard on all NSX-R's, the UK airbag wheel was fitted to that NSX-R for other reasons [story goes for sva purpose] The speedo is one of the main tell tale signs, but I can see other signs.

[Justin]

If a manufacturer sva's a car in a jurisdiction, why is that not then an official car for that country's Market?

[Senninha]

The new pic looks like the NA2 NSX-R that recently sold in the UK, and the owner is a member here.

I should have guessed you be the first to spot the details ... I'll have to see what else I can dig up from the records to kepp you guessing longer, LoL

[Sudesh]

lol, would be easier to find the Arc Of The Covenant!

[Senninha]

So as Sudesh spotted very quickly, this dashboard shot is of the only known UK NA2 NSX-R ....

Time for something a bit more challenging ...

[gumball]

Red and black, standard wheels and bodywork, aerial stuck. could be anybodies. :bigsmile:

[SILVER BULLET]

Can someone tell me how I get the home page as I haven't seen any of these teasers yet,not been getting the home page for weeks now,

Are you arriving at the forum page Ian? If so then this is probably because of the way you've saved NSXCB on your pc. Although this sounds obvious, have you tried using the navigation buttons at the top of the page to get to the home page? Once there you could save this as your NSXCB link. Once logged in via the newly saved link, click 'remember me' and you should have this as your new default arrival page.

HTH, regards, Paul

[Senninha]

Red and black, standard wheels and bodywork, aerial stuck. could be anybodies. :bigsmile:

Well, there are some members here with large photo collections so ite time to make it a bit more challenging ... :evil: :laugh:

[Senninha]

SO I guess some clues are needed to help with the current homepage photo ...

It was taken on December 27th a few years back
It was a mini meet in the Kent area
Look carefully and you should recognise a few current owners

regards, Paul

[britlude]

just noticed it's me, you and paul!!! at the Moat! oh, and a random red NSX!

i think i may have just sneezed into Pauls hand.....

[Senninha]

So the single Red NSX has everyone stumped ..... so I've updated with another photo from the same meet that included Paul, Jon, Olly and Rob Fenn in his VX220

This one still remains a mystery then ....

9731

[britlude]

yup, my mistake, not the Moat, but definately half way round.... and about 3 minutes before my main relay decided to have a sulk and almost left me stranded......

[NSXGB]

Meet started at Badgers Mount....photo taken at a layby opposite the school at Four Elms on the drive after...

[Senninha]

97619760

Well done Simon ... IIRC the owner is/was Peter and the car a truly fine example ... photo taken one brisk December morning!

The group photo clue clearly helped out!!

So whats next for you to ponder?

regards, Paul

[NSX 2000]

So whats next for you to ponder?

regards, Paul

Yours and Silver Surfers car (Ary's old silver one) outside a Honda Dealer would be my guess.

Paul

[TheSebringOne]

Wow, I did not know that SS's or Ary's old car has been wrapped! Both cars look great.

[Senninha]

9862

I thought the wrap to SS's NSX might have taken a bit longer to work out.

I will say (and had discussed various colors with Ary wwhen he built this car) that the Pearl White really raised the overall impact for this NSX.

Its a great job, good color choice even though I would love to have seen it in Pearl Green!!

Thanx for the compliment on both cars James

regards, Paul

[NSXGB]

....latest....Ringfest 2009?

[NSX 2000]

....latest....Ringfest 2009?

Right event wrong year, it was 2008 as we didn't go in 2009. You can see Leigh's car in the back ground with stickers he fitted for Le Man 24 hours.

[Senninha]

9864

Yes, Leighs Le Mans stickered car was the give away .... so lets go again with something a little different ...

[markc]

W.R.T to the current view over red rear wing. The scenery and lighting looks similar to Papa's latest avatar, so could it be his car on a moody photoshoot?

Cheers

Mark

[Senninha]

Hi Mark,

Well spotted ... I guess all the scratches from James' cleaning OCD also gave things away .....

9985

regards, Paul

[markc]

Re the latest one, hmmm :think:

Must be a Targa to take that pic, obviously a pop-up and the car looks black. But I don't know any black, pop-up Targas tho' :dunno: Unless it's a Midnight Purple car? Not Gary's though because of the bonnet. Intrigued :)

Cheers

Mark

Mark

I would guess it is Paul's car before the wrap, and I wonder if it was taken after coming off the Euro tunnel as the lines look French.

Paul

[Hagasan]

Is it "gadget man" Eds? I'm sure he'll have some sticky camera mount gadget to take a picture if it is not a Targa.....

[Silver Surfer]

Could be Leighs (Kowalski) car as he is the only black NSX that ventures into Europe.

SS

[Senninha]

What a great bit of detective work by Paul (NSX 2000) ...

Yes it is my car pre wrap and Procar bonnet!

10035

So lets see what elses I've can challenge you with .....

[TheSebringOne]

Is the next one Candyman's ?

[Senninha]

Is the next one Candyman's ?

Close but err, no :)

[Silver Surfer]

If it ain't Candymans then it must be Boomin33s.

SS

[Senninha]

If it ain't Candymans then it must be Boomin33s.

SS

So very close . . . But must try harder :evil:

[markc]

Monaco92's? Perhaps en route to/from a Supercar Sunday event as I seem to remember a "convoy" being organised at least once.

Cheers

Mark

[Senninha]

You were getting close but have gone cold ....

So its not Monoca92's, Candymans or the 05 that Honda still own. And at the time of this photo it wasn't Boomin33's either ...

It is on route to a club meet, and the final clue is 'Evian' ....

[Silver Surfer]

Ohh.right...I remember reading about chinese owner who turned up to Japfest or Gaydon and shared his crate of Evian to wash and clean the NSXs.......
Can't remember his name....i think he sold the car after?? to Boomin33.

SS

[AR]

So then the mistery has been revealed.

Evian is not good for the NSX :-)

[TheSebringOne]

It was Japfest, he also had a problem with his CD cassette that got stuck in the player.

I used a credit card to trigger the released mechanism as advised by TheQuietOne when
I had the same issue.

[Senninha]

As I suspected, the Evian gave it away .... apparently James is still using it :)

Lets see what else I can find ...

10226

Rgds, Paul

[Silver Surfer]

Hmmm...Red stitching on steering wheel.....?

SS

[Sudesh]

Pauls car, the black final 12 one?

[NSX 2000]

Pauls car, the black final 12 one?

That would be my guess as well :D

[britlude]

That would be my guess as well :D

that might be considered insider information......

[Hagasan]

That would be my guess as well :D

Ah, but is it your car? I was thinking Charlie One's Pearl White?

[Senninha]

So its time to vote .... Black or White ... which is it to be?

[Senninha]

And the owner is .... Paul with his Black 55 special ...

10323

[Sudesh]

I'm thinking the new pic is your car Paul?

[WhyOne?]

On its 50k miles-day...........

[Senninha]

OK, that was an easy one but then I was short on time to update the photo ...

10333

Must try harder ....:D

[Hagasan]

Kevins (now Gadget Mans) car through Eau Rouge?

[Senninha]

Kevins (now Gadget Mans) car through Eau Rouge?

Well spotted Gary ... oh to have time to study these photos ...

10394

[NSX 2000]

Mark's car in Switzerland. (Mark C that is.)

[Hagasan]

[QUOTE=Senninha;87610]Well spotted Gary ... oh to have time to study these photos ...

10394[/QUOTE


I think a lucky guess really!! I recognised the track anyway (us all being there last year helps) but the NSX is actually hard to make out so I assumed it was the rear most car. Then the deduction concluded that there is only one NSX I know (knew) of with white wheels and so the Sherlock moment, Mr Forumadmins I presume........

[markc]

Mark's car in Switzerland. (Mark C that is.)

Someone fell for the deliberately misleading filename ;) So if it's not Switzerland where is it?

Correct answer must be to the nearest 1/2 mile :think:

Mark

[Senninha]

Time to reveal the answer and refresh the home page ....

It is in fact Mark's fabulous Type S, seen here on its touring rims.

The location ... the outer service road for Spa.

[TheSebringOne]

How are we going to guess cars from across the pond?

[Silver Surfer]

Must be import to Europe...seen at last Ringfest ...no?

SS

[Hagasan]

How are we going to guess cars from across the pond?

Easy!! That'll be Bobolinksi's car.....everyone knows that ;-)


....goto to NSXPRIME, search Long Beach Blue thread and look at a couple of posts....bingo...... I'm not really this sad, it was just too easy and took about two minutes :-)

[Senninha]

Well Done Gary!

I needed to load something to keep you all guessing a little longer as I was away for a few days with no access ...

Time to find a fresh home page photo ..

The one who supplied expensive bottled mineral water for washing some cars down !!

[Senninha]

The very same water that James (Papa) consumed lots of to clean his P&J ...

So onto the next challenge ...

[Senninha]

Nobody? ...

[AR]

Not sure if the car might be the one that was totalled?

[lotusolly]

My Guess would be the ex Jenson Button car taken at Gaydon

Olly

[Problem Child]

Just going back to the "expensive water" comment....I find Evian the best as its the purest and Volvic the worst because it comes from a Volcanic region so tends to have a high sulphur content. All UK waters tend to be more gritty and leave a chalky finish on the paintwork. Evian after Meguiars every time

[Senninha]

I like Evian, but i drink mine. :)

[howardgreen]

Really like the stuff....Will be going to think about it more....

[markc]

I think the latest pic is a Japanese registered and located, probably at MACS Autos, facelift NSX-R with a colour scheme chosen by a blind man :)

LBB good, black roof good, black mirrors good (with black roof), white wheels good'ish (sometimes), all on the same car BAD! I'm not a fan of the ducted bonnet either which makes the front end of this particular car look very/too fussy.

Cheers

Mark

[Senninha]

LBBP NSX-R .... photo trawled off the net some years ago but threw it for variety .... and I agree its not the colour I would choose for one of these.

I'll go see what else I can find to keep you guys guessing ...

I strongly agree with you Mark - it is the white wheels that mess this one up for me, plus in this blue, the mirrors and roof need to be body-Colour. If this were mine, I would go for wheels in the mid grey that has been seen on one or two 02+ cars. Interesting to see some sort of fog light / daytime running light set-up on this car - to my eye this is very odd and not required, especially on a Type-R.
All that said, I wouldn't kick it out of my bed... Errrr garage.

[NSX 2000]

I'll go see what else I can find to keep you guys guessing ...

I see you've posted a new photo.

I would guess about 4 1/2 years ago, I can see mine, yours (pre wrap), Simon's, Jonathan's, Olly's, not sure on the 2 red ones.

Wow !! Not seen that photo of all the seat colour options before. Just a pure guess, was this in the options info. for the "Final 12/13 UK cars" ? or perhaps more likely, a brochure for the refresh programme in Japan?

[NSX-FAN]

I think this brochure may relate to that photo.

Is H12 the Honda UK car that Senna drove? (or am I thinking of G280 EJH, the Automatic?)

[markc]

That was number four, but looks identical to number six;-)

You've owned almost as many as I've driven :) Have you got favourite?

All the standard cars I've driven, from early NA1's to a 2004 NA2, have felt/driven, pretty much the same if I'm honest. I did notice the loooong 3rd gear of the early cars, a squeak/creak on the Targa and a softer, longer travel throttle peddle on the facelift. The drives were months if not years apart tho'.

Cheers

Its amazing what arrives via the tinterweb these days ....

A couple of recent photos have gone un-recorded ... the NSX in todays refreshed photo has been through a makeover and reversal recently ... we wonder why?

Does anyone have contact details for the recently featured Red/Black NSX shown next to the F-Type. I was in contact last year and have mis-placed the owners details and would like to make contact. If anyone knows the owner or can offer insight please contact me by PM. Thank you.

[NZNick]

Nice photo of Sonic's car - such a good colour and such a bargain he got. I wonder if he will be letting it go for a similar amount ?? ;)

[NZNick]

A colourful line-up of shiny NSX - must be at Silverstone Classic recently as the Magnum Grey is back (to the fore).
