After posting photo's of two Australian NSX's (<A HREF="http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=30424">here</A> and <A HREF="http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=26394">here</A>) which received a bit of criticism for their mods, it's time to post another Aussie NSX just to dispell any idea that all NSX's in Australia have been butchered. :D

This baby looks pretty much stock. sweeeeeeet.

Hey <B>COSENTINO</B>... hahaha.. between yourself, NSXBOX and myself, us Aussie's have a continual presence on prime. :D Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oy, Oy, Oy!!! :D

This photo was taken a month ago. Where abouts did you see this? I've forgotten the street i saw this... but can find out easily enough.


BTW, when <B>NSXBOX</B> looks at this thread, i was in Sydney over Easter... and FINALLY saw an NSX there! :cool: Woohoo! It was black and for sale at a dealership (right on the corner so you can't miss it) on Parramatta Rd. near the suburb of Stanmore... It's where a number of car dealerships line the street - two shops from the Ferrari store & opposite Honda. If i'd had time, i would have checked it out. Sweet. It was good to see some NSW NSX talent - even if it was up for sale - after seeing nothing in Sydney for years. :rolleyes: :D


<B>ZUERST</B> : in Australia you can order a "letterbox" style plate... i think these are pretty slick, since by law we're required to have plates at the front & rear, and huge plates detract in photos. I personally prefer the black letterbox plates + white text.

Neo,Neo,Neo.......Oy, Oy, Oy:p

I saw the car on Bell St Preston (Northern Suburbs) and it looked like it had a set of Lenso rims.

On another note......for the last couple of weeks, I have noticed a yellow NSX with the front end missing....at of all places....a taxi depot in Preston!!!! It just seems to be sitting there.:confused: If I have time I'll get a pic for you.


PS. Also, that NSX you saw for sale in Sydney is on Carpoint......It's a 1993 Manual, 71,000 Kms, 17"alloys....$79,900
 
Neo- I work down the road from Crott Sports. It also makes me realise what a bargain my NSX was. If you went further down the road you would have seen the largest NSX dealer in OZ Rick Damelian they had an 03 in there and now a 00' in monaco blue.
 
LOL, <B>gheba_nsx</B> that comment deserves...

That was a REALLY REALLY funny statement gheba... hahaha... you are too funny man. :D
 
<B>COSENTINO</B> : A pix of that yellow NSX would be...delicious. :D i wonder why it's at a taxi depo -- for fast rides with a high fare? I wonder if that's Snowman's yellow '97 NSX-T NSX - he sold it last december for a GTR. :confused: Either that, or there's a second yellow NSX in Melbourne that i don't know about. <I>*neo gets really excited*</I> :D :D :D

$79,990 for a black '93... too much. Then again, it is Sydney. Things seem more expensive there. :(


<B>NSXBOX</B> : wha!??! :confused: i missed the largest NSX dealer? oh, i need another excuse to visit Sydney!!!! Can you be more specific on the street it's on? BTW, could you drop past and put that '00 monaco blue on lay-buy for me. :rolleyes: :p Thanx.

how do you go driving your NSX in Sydney? ...all the lanes are so narrow.


<B>Phoe<FONT COLOR=red>N$X</FONT></B> : yeah. what we need is an Australian forum on prime for that kind of thing. ;)
 
Sorry for the crappy pic Neo, but the Taxi depot was closed....and I didn't fancy jumping over the fence in my new Armani suit.

I don't think it is Snowman's former car as his was a Targa.
The whole front end is missing, and it has no number plates????It really is weird!!!!

Maybe we should both pinch in a few dollars and buy it as our project car;)
 
Far out... thanks for the pix.
You're right -- that doesn't appear to be snowman's nsx.
maybe it's the one pictured in my current avatar -- it was really speeding when they shot my avatar pix. :p

Seems like nobody cares about it, so maybe nobody would miss it. :rolleyes: ...i think it needs our love and attention. i'll bring the balaclava's; you bring the bolt cutters.

i got an NSX key...maybe it will work.

We need to set this poor NSX free. :D j/k LOL

I am REALLY curious as to the story behind why this NSX has been 'dumped' in a taxi depot with no plates. Do you think it's stolen & somebody is trying to camoflague it?

Yeah the the letterbox style license plates are great, nice find Neo. At this rate you'll have exposed all the nsx's in Oz :) Very strange place for the yellow nsx, follow up?

Neo, I don't think it's stolen, as the car faces a very busy street in Preston.....so it is all a bit of a mystery!!

:confused: Too bad I live so far from Preston. I'd just rock up to the depot and start asking questions. (believe me, i would! :D)


Ok, so it's not stolen....YET.... :D :D :D ROFL. j/k If we turned it into our "project-NSX", my project would be "Return to Stock"... but somehow i get the feeling you'd be ordering some 19" rims.... ;) And a roof scoop! :p lol

do you mind me asking how you found this? just caught your eye? (btw, i spotted that hideous "unik" NSX again at the gym last night racing down Dandenong Rd. that needs to do my "return to stock" process)
i am loving this aussie thread... :)

Yeah, I might just have to go and start asking questions.
Although because it's a cab depot.......I just don't think anybody would speak english :D

How did I find it.........I drive past it every morning to go to work. It is right on busy High St just near the corner of Plenty Rd, if you want to check it out for yourself.

PS. And yes, your right about the rims....I'll just take my 19's off my 3000GT, so that I could put them on our new 'PROJECT NEO-COS NSX'........although I don't know about the roof scoop!!:mad: :mad:

ROFL...ROFL...ROFL... :D
Before you go in giving away too much info, make an offer for the "old corvette" or "riced prelude" out back... :D they might sell it to you for a song. ;) :p

I would, but that's 45mins+ drive for me. And after work i wouldn't get there till dark.
If something pops up that requires me to go north, i'll definitely drop by. :)

Ahhh...sweeet..."NeoCos"... :) So who gets it weekends? :p

Sorry about the roof-scoop joke... that was more of an insult... terribly sorry. it won't happen again. :D
 
Are any of you guys looking to import any NSX's soon due to the 15 year rule??

I MISS OZ!:(

Well if I can convince these taxi drivers that it is a worthless piece of junk...........I won't have to:)

Neo.....if we can't come to an agreement to re-spray this baby in a sexy Midnight Black (including the 19" rims)...........she's all yours :p
 
LOL, COSENTINO.

Well... i guess she's mine then... i believe in "return to stock" (especially for those other hideous NSX's i've posted :( ). You can't improve on perfection. ;) hahahah... and i can just imagine you giving up an NSX that easily too. :D lol
 
He Cosentio, don't know if you noticed... we have another guy from Melbourne on NSXprime... <A HREF="http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=9537">dippy9</A>

Wow....and he has a black one:D :D My favorite colour!!! Its good to see that we are slowly building up the number of Aussies on NSXprime.

NEO: Just a quick update on that yellow NSX at the taxi depot in Preston..........drove by this morning and its GONE!!!
This whole thing is getting real weird!:confused:
 
Hey COSENTINO... wanna come around and check out my new yellow NS.... oh.... :rolleyes: :D i dont know anything about it. :p


Now it's gone??? :eek: That is just way too freaky.
Too bad it didn't have plates... i have an old friend that could have tracked down it's history. That might have given us some answers.... or more questions.

I emailed dippy9... he said it's ok to send his a larger version of his avatar. Soooo... if you want the high-res version of his avatar PM me your email and i'll send it your way. (get this: it's 2272x1704! :D)

Yeah... all we need are a few more aussies, and MAYBE we could ask Lud (again! poor Lud) to give us an Oz/Oceania forum to ourselves! Respect! :D

I WOULD LOVE A HIGH -RES version of the avatar:)....dippy9 is da man!!

[email protected]
 
Ah.. "blackmail"... or is that "yellow-mail". :D

DIPPY9 isn't just da man... Dippy9 is <B>DA MAN</B>!!!
So far he has the badddddest black NSX in Australia that I've seen! Not quite as baaaad as the FuryNSX... (The FuryNSX is almost pure evil!
saevilw.gif
Dippy9's only mod seems to be a blue [H] badge.) ...but it's still baaaad enough to win the aussie-title. :D (oh, i should clarify - 'bad' as is very very cool. lol. i love the modern use of the English language)
