Does anyone have one of these ? I am thinking about trying to find one, but realise there is no model report... anyway of getting one ? There are plenty in Japan for sale, or even already imported in Ireland ( www.autotrader.ie )

I know of a chap who is selling one but its rather expensive 8.5K.

You can get the later model for little more.

There is also a good section of the video I posted yesterday about the Civic EK9.

I am looking at getting a Civic EK9 Type R:

But I want to bring it to UK asap... how can I do it avoiding ESVA and using the 10 years rule ? Can I keep it on Irish plates til 10 years is up ?

Sorry to raise this, only just noticed it. If anyone out there is looking for an EK9 a good friend of mine owns the only model report currently available in the UK. He also imports the cars and has two in stock at the moment, both in cracking condition. Had a drive yesterday and they really are fantastic, screaming engine and masses of both grip and feedback.
If anyone'd like to speak to him regarding the EK9s and/or the model report please mail me at joshwhudson@hotmail.com and i'll forward the contact details.

Don't think this breaks the advertising rules Ted, but feel free to remove if so!
