Lovely, I really want a DC5. Finding a good one seems a bit of a minefield these days

Yeah I've heard people say that, at one point they were very cheap cars which led to many of them being unloved and run on low budgets. Decent fresh imports are probably your best bet, but these are £17k+ now. That price is likely to rise over the next year or two as the US market will start buying them when they hit 25 years old (2026 onwards).

I've had this one since 2006 and it only has around 35000 miles on it.

Amazing cars, probably the best all round car we've ever had. I was very lucky to buy one of the last FK8s on a 71 plate brand new. Have looked at the FL5 ,lovely car, but prefer this.

I've always had a soft spot for the FK8, especially in red. but my wife absolutely hates the way they look so could never get one sadly. I think I will get an FL5 ar some point though.

You won't regret it, I didn't.

Thanks! I agree, when I bought it most of them were white as it's the iconic Type R colour, but I wasn't a fan as it's very flat and doesn't really shine, so I went looking for either a black or silver one.

Absolutely adore my FL5. Had it 7 months. It really is superb.

Had mine for two, same colour as yours. Looking forward to taking it up to the Highlands to enjoy some quieter roads.

Camping with my daughter's year group for end of term. The weather was miserable so the pics didn't come out too well.
I managed to fit two airbeds, two sleeping bags, two coolers and two soft cases in there - however the kid had to get a lift with a friend

You need a roof tent like that NSX camping guy

I took mine into work and snow foamed it up, nice and clean to stick back in the garage!!

I love that you're using your NSX for camping. Took my DC5 camping with my daughter and a few friends, ours is the green tent.

Oof! Specs?

My first foray into the world of Honda and I'll admit it's quite good. I'm especially enjoying behaving like an OAP and driving at bang on 30 to frustrate all other road users
