Is the steering wheel as big as it looks, or is it a trick of the photo/lens?
One of my biggest bugbears about the Boxster I test drove was the Routemaster-sized steering wheel (although I understand you can specify less sterring wheel but for more money)
Would I like an NSX? Yes, but I can neither afford to buy nor run one and the S is more than adequate for now.
Oh, and 2:30 into this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUHQO...eature=related
(Whoohoo, an NSX corner, now that's special)

That Gordon Murray article is great, and it's very interesting to know how much of an influence the NSX had on the development of the McLaren F1! Shame he could not persuade the Honda management to provide that car with Honda power though...
Love the pics of the blue NSX, what a beauty! a very special car indeed...

Steering wheel is of very much S2000 proportions.

Sounds good Ian.
I was planning on meeting Lucky to see his turbo S2000, so maybe could have a bit of a photo session and a smooth half. The Exige would be coming, and by then will have 270 bhp

Excellent.....270bhp 
.....how are you finding the extra ponies Mark? Having driven a standard Exige 'S' I would be fascinated in a drive (in the passenger seat of course) to feel the difference.
I am tied up for the next few weeks (Goodwood, Farnborough, working in Madrid, family hol's) so not really about until September, so we'll have to plan ahead a little!
