Hi everyone,
About me : I'm Damien, i live in the North of the France and I work in a design office in Cambrai.
My history car : My father works for Renault, therefore i started with middle of the road car : scenic, twingo, gazoil car (sorry !!)
Only one worth mentionning, a clio 1.6 16v, she was fun...
But one day, I realized i needed a change.
So flicking through the ads, by chance I spotted her :
I was love at first sight : Prelude Year 98, 2.0i, 136 HP, 88000 kms, german origin.
I bought her in Metz
I started to research more about this make, and discovered there is a 2.2 vtec185 HP - bigger and more powerful engine...
I wish I had know that !!
Nevertheless, i had no regrets. I loved this car that i sold after 4 years of good and loyal service.
Then I find myself at the same situation as 4 years ago : what will be my next car ?
Finally, I stayed with the Japanese with a little 1992 - MR2 2.0i 160 cc, 97000 kms on the clock, found at 20 kms away.
She was a pleasure to drive but not a car to everyday.
So i put her up for sale without any real conviction :
She sells ? she doesn't ? Do i keep her and tune her ?
I even had 4 BBS RS 5x114.3 in my garage.
And then a middle age guy come to collect her...
So i stay about 1 month looking for a relaible, not to expensive car. I bought a E30 318 IS BMW.
Great car, but i really prefer Japanese !
And now, since 1.5 year my daily is an Civic 3G AH53GT
When i bought it

At this time i 'm looking after Si corner light, and a rear spoiler (impossible to find)
And i think to swap with a ZC
Sorry guy for my poor english, but i'm working on it
From The North....of France

Yes, welcome to the fray! I like your taste in cars. That 3G is mint. I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Road & Track magazine: "When they get around to listing the top good-time inventions of the late 20th century, we're willing to bet that right up there with the hang gliders, ultra lights, sailboards and jet skis you'll find the Honda Civic CRX. And we're willing to bet that the CRX won't be at the bottom of the short list--particularly if the CRX in question is an Si."

Civic does look very clean.
Quite a contrast to your recent toys, almost back into Renault character? No doubt a lot rarer and more distinctive there though.

As all my Honda, skirts and rear arches need to be restore
No doubt a lot rarer and more distinctive there though.
In France ? No doubt that's clear
Limited immatriculation during the 80's, explain a lot, Diesel philisophy explain the rest (thanks Total...)
I have find these wheels
Now, i have to save money for the tyres

So some news of my AH.
I try to put news wheels (Ronal Turbo 1st gen), but i have to change the tyres, because they touch the rear arches
And unfortunately, i had a little crash...
I forgot to put the hand brake :oops:
So i'm looking after a grey hatch door.
