What a fantastic motor!

Even though it looks a bit like a people carrier in the pictures, it looks awesome in the flesh. The gay looking gear stick in the dashboard has got a fantastic short shift.

Got into a bit of a race with a boxster on a back road - and beat it!

awesome piece of kit, if I had the cash I would have bought it there and then. Only problem is that my dealer can only get 8 (yes 8) a year!

Just thought I would share that with you.

I have to say that there was not much scrabbly scrabbly occurring. I had an Integra before the 200 and that used to spin the wheels up 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd big time, but there was none of this. I think it's because the VTEC cuts in a bit smother on the Civic due to this timing change jobby.
