Critique Welcomed Acura Nsx

[Brian Moore]

I took this shot at the little car museum our company maintains. The Acura brand name is for North America only. Everywhere else in the world this car was called a Honda.

Canon 7D.

cool shot, but i'm a little more interested in what's on the back row along the wall. never realized acura was n america only, that's odd.

Thanks, Beth. Along the back wall, perhaps you're referring to the intense blue light,...? That was caused by an intense blue light they had on back there. Don't know why. It showed up more intense in the picture and I actually didn't see it as SO intense until I posted this image. As to Acura being American only,...its not so odd. Honda wanted a second channel to sell a more upscale car. At the time, about 1986, Honda was well known for economy and reliability. They wanted to sell vehicles that were more luxury and sport oriented--so they made the Acura Legend and the Acura Integra. The company started up a whole new dealer network for the new brand, too. (Toyota and Nissan soon followed with their second channel sales networks, the Lexus and Infinity brands.)

i meant the race cars. the light is pretty odd though.

 

[Brian Moore]

Several Indy cars. You can see the Target-Chip Ganassi car quite clearly. Next to that is the Team Kool Green car. There is a Sebring/Le Mans style racer under the Kool Green car. There is a Rally car or two and some non-open wheel road racing cars as well.

Nice shot Brian

Nice, Brian. All I have downstairs at work is a large doormat and a huge spider that lives in the meter cupboard. This "little" museam looks like a great place, specially to have at work.

Nice shot Brian

Thank you, Aldous!

Thanks, Paul! Yeah, I must admit I prefer our little museum over a doormat and a large spider!

..And no I am not going to photograph the spider. Allegedly there is an even bigger spider as well, by all accounts it is the size of my hand. I think that that could be a figment of my colleagues overactive imagination though.

Love it Brian - almost looks like a scale model somehow - maybe because of the lighting, or the DOF, or because it's so perfectly clean and shiny

I note they lined up the wheels afar they parked it - class work there, definitely pros

Nice! Big car fan me.
The Nsx is not something you see on the road daily. To buy a decent one of these would be in the region of 30k... No cheaper than 20k for sure.
And that's pretty good for a car built in the 90's. Certainly a value holder.
A friend of mine in the army had a MK1 1975 Toyota Celica, which also a classic Japanese legend hard to come by. He was going through a massive engine overhaul at the back of the barracks, for sure he knew what he was doing being in the REME. unfortunately I left Germany in 2002 and never got to see the finished result. Gutted!

Did you not get any shots of you driving the thing Brian? ....

Thanks, Dan. No selfies in the NSX I'm afraid, although I've driven them on a number of occasions.
