God I miss that car

I love CRX's, and that looks minty

Mine - 2001 facelift Accord Type-R, 54K on the clock, utterly standard, dyno'd at 215BHP, about right Corners like very few things I've driven... Bought to replace the one at the bottom that I wrote off on an icy motorway

Boohoo to the fuel crisis!

and some of my past....

From what I hear, you'll be using as much oil as petrol.

you hear wrong, dear fellow,

They do meter in oil (working like a very weak 2-stroke mix) but day-2-day driving barely uses any oil, I.e. I did a tour of scotland last month, 3000miles, and she used about a litre.

1 day round brands hatch - on the other hand... 100 miles, 55litres of fuel and 2 litres (a sump) of oil

My mate's knackered old R1 did 75 miles round Rockingham earlier this year, 20 litres of fuel and 4 litres of oil. He binned it in spectacular fashion on that day, and on rebuilding it I discovered the top steering head bearing would rattle around in the headstock. He broke the bike for spares.

Aaargh, not the dreaded CTR! Tried the EP3 version, was not a fan in the slightest, I chose a Mk1 Skoda Octavia RS in place of it.

From what I gather the latest version is lacking as much as the EP3 in driving terms - missing the fully independent suspension, LSD, Recaros, DOHC motor that the DC2 ITR and ATR have. That said, I've driven various current Civics for extended periods of time, and the 2.2 Type S (diesel ) is actually a great car, seriously. Nicest oil-burner I've ever driven

I'd quite like to try an FD2 Civic (import only, annoyingly) to replace the ATR, but I don't like the idea of running an import. NSX here we come

That bears a striking resemblance to my Toyota Yaris \

Just realised I have no pictures of my current 1994 Mazda MX5 - here are a few from my past before I got into bikes

1990 Five-point-oh Mustang and 1993 Nissan Skyline GTS-t



Which were replaced with a 1994 Mitsubishi Evo II



Which was replaced with a curvy SV!
