Is it a VTiR? I drove one once, and the handling was choice.
But I prefer the next shape Prelude, as they have more room.

Personally i prefer my hardtop over my 5th gen lude... It's a more nimble car to drive...
I do love the cockpit of the 4th gen tho... really nice how the dash spans the entire length.

edit: on a side note - what bike did you have, coz I love my 2 wheels

Nah not the VTi-R i needed a car asap and don't have the money for that. Frankly i wanted the 3rd gen 4WS, but they are so hard to find in schmick condition.

This is just the base model S with the F22, still quicker than the bus. as for bike? i WAS riding a 2009 Hyosung GT650R, now with a bit over 100 000km from courier work, blown rear head to smitherines.

previously have had; every kind of ninja 250, few 650 cruisers, GPz750, XZ550, and the worlds best orgasm tourer, the Kawasaki GTR1400, but sold that for economy reasons, not using it enough and cost a fortune to run (but power wheelies on a tourer is just nuts)

bit better image




going to stay very simple, crystal headlights, simple 16's or MAX 17" 5-spokes. and some engine work :P nothing major.

I got a new missus so working on the car is permitted (as long as I let her restore a VW-bug... i say fair trade, with the added form that allows me to get a type 3)
