My new (or not) Car!
 
As I'm a right struggler for money my boss's mum is terminally ill, therefore he wants me to take this off his hands...

Its a 1985 Honda Civic. An automatic (sort of) It has 3 settings for the automatic lol. Goes like an absolute dream. Best part about it...

38,000 Miles!

Possibly looks like I will be going on company insurance with it too :lol: The boss is putting it through a full service for me that he will be footing the bill for and I think also he will be MOT'ing it and Tax'ing it for me.

I'm looking past the age on it and it is a rather nice car!

Couple of years I will put it into the classic car championships (joke) :lol:

Now you just need some chrome 19's, tinted window and some decent speakers and the girls will just come flocking to you.
Reminds me of the car in Wayne's World!

wow. I've always been a fan of all the civics (except the one where they changed to having the gear stick in the middle of the dash board). Does it have the k-series engine? If it does they're a LOAD of funm really rev'y and sound great with a generic induction kit on. One thing, just keep an eye on the head gaskets because they've a bit of a reputation (mainly down to poor maintenance by me, er, i mean the owner - keep an eye on the coolant level).

Top car :D what size engine is it?
