Default RIP my Civic :'(

It is with great sadness and regret that I must report the loss of my Civic.

It is going off to the great scrappy in the sky tonight, Cheryl has a new car with work and we really don't need three cars. Also since the **AHEM** "remodelling" of the front wing with my own Land Rover (thank you Cheryl) and a couple of other things it's really not worth trying to sell an R reg, 170,000 mile 1.5l Civic that has character (read, is a bit on the tatty side)

I'm sure many of you who know my car will join me in a moments silence for the vehicle that has become part of me, we've had 7 years and 90,000 miles of fun and danger together.

It took a great part in AR08, it made it around the reccy with brakes and clutch stinking from abuse, and arrived at the Vipers house many times in the same state and became a recovery vehicle at the AR itself (OK, it wasn't actually able to jump start Stigs van but it was there and willing) and it still had enough chipper in it to take me surfing back up the campsite





MattSV tried to jump start my ass with the bonnet open


And I also did some drifting in it with Grunty and LoneWolf, that was interesting.... Drifting a front wheel drive car!!!!

Why don't you go push it into the Severn and save the scrappie time

Sorry to hear.
Even if it is a Honda.





Have my own memories of the Civic.
I followed that car nearly half way across England one night to catch an early flight out of Manchester the next morning.
Thanks again Dan!
You and Cheryl are the best!
