Been for my first supermarket run, and have already got myself a velcro-in boot tidy thing. Combination of huge boot and not enough shopping to wedge across it seems to lead to flying objects in the back of the car on roundabouts.
Incidentally, it's got a g-meter on the dash which has two circles.on it, an inner one at 0.5g and the outer at 1.2g. Haven't got to the outer line yet.

The Irn Bru on the spoiler  Now that is a photo! Honda make an incredible engine and the Type R products have always been special; I'm sure you'll really enjoy the Civic! I cannot recall the exact quote but I know Mr Honda had a lot of respect for Morgan and he was quoted somewhere saying something along the lines of in the future when all the large automotive companies have gobbled up all the smaller ones, only Honda and Morgan would remain independent. Indeed: according to WikiQuote: "In the future, there will be just a half dozen car companies. And Morgan." https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Soichiro_Honda:-) Will

Excellent, that's going to be a handful on the icy roads next winter but summer is going to be great. Better order in the spare tyres now.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I have a feeling the tyre bills might get scary...and for the winter another set of rims with either full winters or cross climate tyres on are going to be essential. Had a good play yesterday on some roads known to me, and it really is a good fun drive.

Such a funny company.
Executing the perfectly normal CR-X and Acura brand then sneaking out an NS-X and Type-R. As BMW blend in the M range more and more. Honda quietly keep the loonies front and centre. Love the Japanese.

Love the Japanese. ...and all the crazy Kei cars that we don't get to see unless they are personally imported - the S660 looks like a lot of fun!

oh very nice, I had not seen the newer design. I do remember the older S660 of many years ago.
It seems odd that all we hear about is the city car coming to an end as they are not commercially viable (Citroen, VW etc). Cities are the reason to go BEV as the emissions are detrimental to health (fair) so we drive the price up £10k for the BEV thing and insufficient power/charging discussions break out. The Japanese must be laughing out loud watching the EU wind itself up in knots.
It's a pity governments can only think in a linear manner. I say think, perhaps I need to adjust my language.
