Wooo-hooo a new Jap thready thing, congrats to all you Honda chap/esses.
love from(the non-existant) Nissan thread

[fido]

about time too definitely deserves a separate forum. cool - i'm not a ricer, and i don't drive a jap-mobile! ironically, both my Civics are made in Swindon.

hope to get an Integra type-R DC5 when my engine expires... to go with a Jerry-mobile... erm, i meant a Porsche 968.

That's almost the exact same route I did the summer before last (except I left the 'Ring for a seperate trip the following spring)

fantastic route!!

Great pics and motor Turbo5

I'm thinking of planning a nurburgring trip soon, for about 4 cars. I've been on Ben Lovejoy's site - a wealth of info there!

Why do Honda get their own forum and the rest of us Jap Chatters get lumped together



Oh, wait, now I see, its to keep the Honda boys out of Japchat

Just kidding, good to see us Riceburners are making an impression

[graham@reading]

I was staring at the "Other Marques" group too and on the verge of hitting Website Feedback to say JapChat had vanished

Cheers Tedward

[havoc]

Nah...I think it's 'cause we're more important than all the little boys who NEED a turbo to prove how quick they are.

:coat: :runsandhidesquick:

Regardless, cool to see yet ANOTHER Honda forum on the internet. And if anyone fancies selling me their UKDM DC2...let me know! One fast Honda is no longer enough.

PS...may have to PM someone for that Reims-Route Napoleon route at some point...am trying to convince the Missus that the S2000 would be ideal for a driving hol in France!

This is the Route 27 of of us did this year on the Honda Euro Tour,(our 2nd Euro Tour) Got to say it was one of my best holidays ever, and fuel/accommodation/tolls and ferry only came to about £500 each if 2 sharing. and we did about 2200 miles and the accommodation was all 3 and 4 star We planned the routes in detail on MS autoroute and downloaded them into TOM TOM's we never got lost once. most of the driving roads were B roads and very little motorway was involved. I am just planning the route for 2007

Val-d'issere to Cannes
following the Route Des Grand Alps before hitting the coast at Menton and driving the Famous F1 route at Monaco before we head for a well deserved rest at Cannes. Total 332 miles 6hrs 43mins


Day 5 Thursday 1st June 2006

Nice

Day 6 Friday 2nd June 2006

[img][/img]

Day 7 Saturday 3rd June 2006

We don't have to leave Bourg-en-Bresse until around 10am and we travel up the French Toll roads about £30 before arriving at Geuex Reims where we can walk around the old pits and track before we head for our ferry at 8.00pm. (arrive Dover 7.50pm) Say our goodbyes and get back to post our photos and stories. We intend to keep this route up for one week for any comments before we freeze the route. soon we will need to start securing hotel bookings etc.
Total 455 miles 7hrs 30mins (should be a lot quicker)

[pjskel]

*loud obvious cough*
I presume those dates are actually 2007 - seeing as May/June 2006 has passed already?!
Or is that a recap of the one just done to give us a taste of what to expect?

[turbo5]

That was this years tour, I am currently planning 2007. nothing sounds better than Hondas V tecing through those mountain tunnels
