So there I was driving to a Honda garage this morning, came off the A1M at junction 9, hit the roundabout gingerly as the roads were wet and the car literally sliding sideways a good 3 or 4 foot 4 wheel drift, came within inches of a Toyota Yaris, regained composure and exited the roundabout. Pulled over, ran my hand over the rear tyres and had a horrible diesel film on my hand and a bad smell. (Definately diesel not my hand)

Road clear so tried spinning the rear wheels under power to remove the diesel (TCS light coming on so tried with TCS off also (NSX)) and it was having no effect so crept to the garage and left it there advising them of the diesel !!

Be careful out there, this is the second time I have experienced diesel on the roads and it is not nice.

If it was the S2000 I am not sure if the outcome would have been as nice. (Wider tyres, TCS, lower centre of gravity, weight distribution etc etc)

Not good Si.

Always enter the M1 from the A414 gingerly as that roundabout is always covered in the cr@p from the buncefield depot and the shell and BP stations, a mate wrapped his nova into the armco along time ago.

OOO i keep seeing your doupleganger in Harpenden or is it your NSX over there??

simonprelude

It isn't mine !!

I saw it on Friday also (on the way to Luton Airport), it is a JDM 2002 Orange with Orange roof.
Think it could be the guy that used to have T1NSX, will try and find out though.

A1M for mine today though not M1 !!

Simon - are you sure the bad smell wasn't in your trousers

simonprelude
