Cool car. Apart from the black wheels, a bit of a sleeper.

That sent me off to look for Concertos on ebay. There are only two, both automatics, and both described as "appreciating future classics"

He’s going back to the OEM look as soon as he can source the OEM trims

Certainly a good 1.6i-16 is a rare beast nowadays !

My unexpected long term love affair. Started as a very ropey standard example purchased while at Uni because I couldn't (and still can't) afford an S2000.

These cars get a lot of hate, for some good reasons. Handling definitely should not be one of them however.

I think a lot of the “hate” has disappeared, and Clarkson’s scathing review on Top Gear was a long time ago now.

PH did a used buying guide on them not that long ago. (https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-driven/honda-civic-type-r-fn2--ph-used-review/40880)

I think the standard car is a bit poor by type-r standards. Some careful modifications can help the situation however!

A different kind of Honda appreciation here. Just had one of my Hondas serviced by Listers. They offer a pick up and drop off to/from your house for servicing now. It only costs an extra £10 - absolute bargain. That's saved me having to use up half a day of holiday. It's a 50 mile round trip as well. The driver arrived on time this morning and the car was back inside 4 hours

CB400F
ST70 Dax - which i still have
Civic gen 2 - as above
Accord gen 2 - a proper rust bucket!
Honda Beat - currently in garage awaiting freedom
Honda Life - OH managed to write that off
ST70 Dax 'flower'- along with the other Dax at the back of garage

• not as nice as RotrexKid's EP3.... however.

First camping trip and a chance to catch up with some friends I haven't seen for far too long.

Thought for a phone pic this flatters the car for a change.

Haha, it looks great on those wheels! I’d bet that you haven’t blown as much money on yours as I have!

A couple of cheeky snaps today. She's been brought back in to daily use as I'm 'between cars' at the moment but all the better for it. Absolute pleasure to drive.
