I shall have to sell my corvette and get an nsx!
Passed by "c5vet" on the southbound M1 slip approach in Leicester at about 7.10 last night, only to be passed by another on the A46 at Stratford on Avon at 7.45 later.
At least, only 5 NSX were sold to punters in 06

I'm thinking the same! They are getting increasingly more common, especially the C5's.

I usually pass one a week or so when I am out and about. Before I bought one I never saw them. Some drivers of them don't even give you a wave or a flash when you are following, in front or side by side!

Mind you I do only live 5 miles or so from Rodley Motors.

Took mine out for a blat (sorry to "test" the turbo oil return pipe I had just replaced) and saw a Red C5 at the traffic lights on the A38 near Tewkesbury!
Confused the people at the bottled water delivery point at B&Q in Cheltenham as I pulled in my vette as I was actually going to B&Q rather than collecting water.

A mate of mine from work just came back from Spain and said he saw two '78 Pace Cars following each other down the motorway, both on Spanish plates. So much for having something a bit different!

Passed twice in 25 minutes ? You need to lean a bit more on that pedal on the right !
