Cazza's Storm- Gone :( ...S3 Has Arrived! :)

[ProdigalSon 1]

Spot on reasons for having swapped the C, and you could've done sooooo much worse than that Prelude - of all the other marques I'd (reluctantly) have instead, Honda would be right up there, but probs an S2000 :D

 

Before we bought our house last October, I was rushing to get my G60 in a decent condition as I figured we wouldn't have the cash to deal with stuff once we had a nice fat mortgage :roll: Tells you a lot about my expectations for it!

 

Never had a ride in a 'lude before, and as I said previously, rice can be very tasty :wink: (I'm just glad it's not salmon pink!)

turbo it Andy, Honda heads will outflow many other "performance" heads on the market and you can get huge power gains from small boost!

 

:nuts: :clap:

Ha ha! Would love too, but it kinda defeats the point of getting it! :cuckoo:

Coming from the man who was trying to convince me to buy ANOTHER C! :lol: :salute:

Kinda cool IMO, fair play Cazza, judging by some of the replies, your braver than me for posting up your new purchase... :D

Cheers chap :salute:

Well, just said goodbye to her :( Pretty gutted. Had a last drive a couple of hours ago and she was really flying- windows down, country lanes, V6 roar- doesn't get much better 8)

 

Gone to a very good home. Told Dave all about the Forum, so he'll hopefully join soon :)

 

Picking up the Lude Sunday...

Awesome buddy!

 

Welcome to hassle-free motoring for a few years, save up the pennies and then smack us all in the face with a Storm owned by Mr. Karmann or something :eek: :eek: :eek:

Chin up Andy - there are worse things to lose. Come August when you've just got out of a baking hot delivery suite (they always are) having doubled the size of your family, fire up the Lude and turn on the air con life will seem sweet :)

 

As my missues would say you love that bloody car more than me :? At least you had the balls to be open about your reasons and not just slink away - fair play to you. Looking forward to seeing the first of your new arrivals next week.

:lol: You're on!

:lol:

I'm sure i've said that a few times!!

 

I think it's a great looking car Cazza, love the shape and colour. A friend of ours had one a few years back and I loved it. Big respect to you for your reasons for getting rid of your C, I bet it was heart-breaking. You are a role model for all dads and dads to be :)

 

AQUAG60 is obviously secretly jealous :lol:

[CazzaVR 0]

Awww, thanks, MrsB :) Was a difficult but necessary decision. Just hope nothing goes wrong with the Lude now! :lol:

[Jim 1]

Thread cleaned at Cazza's request.

 

Last time I saw such childish comments and slagging people off was when I moderated forums for secondary school students. Please keep the chat on topic, and if you have some strange hatred of Honda's or something then either contribute in a civil way or just go and read another thread rather than getting into a slanging match.

 

Thanks.

[CazzaVR 0]

Thanks, Jim- much appreciated :salute:

Awww, thanks, MrsB :) Was a difficult but necessary decision. Just hope nothing goes wrong with the Lude now! :lol:

 

About time I learn't something about Hondas! Don't the engines rotate the other way?

[CazzaVR 0]

No idea! boost monkey?

[boost monkey 0]

That definitely rings bells!

 

Yes... I think the shafts do indeed spin clockwise from the flywheel end! :shock:

[CazzaVR 0]

Bye bye :( Taken before Stanford and the last one just before she was picked up on Friday night. Changed the tails.

[boost monkey 0]

:cry:

 

are you selling the tails to a good mate? :norty:

[CrazyDave 0]

Time to get that 'lude and give it some love! Well that and 9,000 rpm on the tacho 8)

[CazzaVR 0]

Jon, have decided to keep them for the time being. Along with my debadged grille w/chrome VR6 badge and chrome Corrado script badge. Just in case ;)

 

Dave- getting it later today. Actually quite excited :) I'll give it a good clean/machine polish/ Dodo Blue Velvet etc and then get some pics up 8) Can't wait to really test out the 4WS- from what JoeBloggs says, it's great fun!

[boost monkey 0]

Do it mate!

 

I don't know why Hondas get such a bad rep as rice, Suyshiro Honda (founder) was originally a racing driver anyways, so if anyone deserves to be disqualified from the ricer slurr then it should be him!

 

:clap:

Just had a good look at this, inside and out - very nice mota indeed! More electrical gizmos than you can shake a light sabre at. A bargain you have :salute:

 

4 wheel steering is way cool 8) Surprisingly big car - much longer and wider than a C. Nice lines and the "Motego" side skirts set it off nicely.

 

You have to ditch the teak effect trim though Andy :?

[CazzaVR 0]

Thanks mate 8) Teak trim? Dunno what you mean... :lol:

[CrazyDave 0]

Had one cruise past me on the M45 the other day (whilst drving one of the company Mundains), silver but didn't have the skirts on it? I was also surprised at how long it was. Can see why you like it Andy, nice proper coupe shape.

 

Teak eh?
