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.  :D

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.

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.

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

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

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.
