New hotness! 1.8 Vtec ES. It's so nice inside compared to my old Focus, I love it. The weather in the UK is atrocious, so this is a quick snap right after I picked it up at the weekend.

You Am I posted:I don't like the full length headlight thing, looks like a 90s concept car. That's the thing, it actually looks like a mid-00s concept. Because Honda pretty much made it exactly like the concept car, which is rare. I love the look of it, it stands out among the mostly boring crap on the roads. Oddly though, we also get your dull-rear end civic sedan.

I could never get over the dashboard/instruments on the new Mini. It feels all over the place to me. The huge massive speedo dead centre in the dash is so weird. That sure is some red leather you've got there though.

Took the spaceship to Scotland recently. Did Bristol - Fort William on a single tank, which was nice for the 1.8 petrol. (Just shy of 500 miles) Driving down from Skye I got stuck behind a truck carrying fish waste, which was spewing rotting fish out the back onto the road. It got into the wheel wells and stank like crazy And then the only Car Wash in town wasn't open.

To be honest most cars from that era in the UK are pretty rare nowadays, especially in that condition. We have a lot of rain. poo poo rusts.

Say goodbye to my little friend That was enough to write it off, apparently. Lots of expensive plastic parts and bent to poo poo metal behind the badge = over £3000 of repairs. Still, something new and shiny is now on the cards.

You're probably both right. But the insurance cheque coupled with a little more money allowed me to do this - So I'm not complaining (now)

spog posted:How little is 'little'? Yeah, 3K from the insurance, plus another 7. Still, within my limits, having gotten a way better paying job last year, and I have to agree with your assessment on the upgrade.

Took the Jag on a road trip to Scotland recently. Really nice to blast up the motorway in, and actually pretty good on the twisty bits too! Probably more comfy than my accommodation, too...

Charles posted:Seems like a pretty good price? It really was, actually. There’s a couple of minor cosmetic things wrong with it but aside from that I can’t find anything majorly wrong with it. I guess I’ll find out soon enough if there’s something horribly wrong but it doesn’t seem so. Drives amazingly well right now.

Charles posted:Dealers around here look like they charge at least $15k USD. The going rate for the age/mileage of mine here appears to be more around £10k, so I'm pretty happy to have snapped mine up for just over 9.

Nice! My GF is looking at a newer Civic as her possible next car. Does it feel big to you? I had an 08 which was a fairly normal hatchback, but we looked at one of these in a dealer today and it feels really long and kinda wide too.

This is my ride for this week - It’s a rental. It has... an engine? And some doors. Also Good AC thankfully. And the steering wheel on the wrong side. It’s alright to drive (not sure what motor it actually has, it’s petrol), reasonably comfortable although lots of wind noise from the tops of the windows. Also feels like there’s nowhere to put my right leg when I drive.

My school when i was 7 or so would hire one on open days and give rides around the scrub land next to the school, through ditches and a pond, up 45 degree slopes, back down again, it was great.
