Dude... why are you posting?!? Drive that bad boy and tell us about it later.
Shame of it is, it WILL NOT STOP raining!! :mad: :(

edit: so now it's finally stopped raining (at 8-o-bloody-clock) and it'd be a nice drive, I've had a drink and can't! I'm cursed, in many ways.

I assume you got that 2nd hand, please don't say you got it new and specified those headrests and badges.

Cool car though. I took one out on Friday, but didn't get to really exploit it, when I went to pick up my new car, a lowly Honda Civic pics will follow.

duh, yeah, 2nd hand. Hell of a deal though, it's actually a 2001, but only has 6,200 miles on the clock!! I'm in the honeymoon period, I still like all the stuff™ he added. I actually really do like the red badges though :eek: I'll see about the headrests.

Have to imagine those plates were pretty pricey too! :eek:
They were included!!! :D

The headrest have to go, as do the red wheel trims. I can live with the bonnet and tail badges being red, although it cheapens the car, and I'd want you to swap the boot-lid spoiler for the stock-option discreet item.

If it were me I'd sell that plate too.

Well sheesh, thanks for your kind words.

Boot lid spoiler is OEM option, not some after market trash. I am selling that plate....to get the one with my initials at the end :p

Red wheel trims, I'll give you that, I also thought that too. I only picked the car up this morning though!

Great car, have u been above the magic 8000 rpm ?
Take it for a spin, and enjoy :D
 
Well, it is about time for me to post mine, here is my pride and joy, I get 25 MPG in this, in UK Gallons that is 29 MPG not bad for a 4X4, but it also how you drive, I don't drive over 55 MPH, it make a hugh difference.:D

Still my dream car is an M113A3 APC (tank) but it only get 3+ MPG

I sold my truck. No regrets. Much better now. And, for a 16 year old, not too bad.
2003 Pontiac Aztek

Let the soccer mom cracks begin

And, once I get my new carb in I'll be driving the 86 Honda Accord. With only 357000mi on the odo [that's not counting the 6 months the speedo/odo didn't work]

Edit: can't get the stupid pictures of the tek to show up as thumbnails, dunno why though.

No offense, but that is a truly revoltingly ugly car. My goodness.:eek:

It comes pretty close to the dreaded Fiat Multipla (which has thankfully now been updated to look slightly less hideous).

Is that an American only model a la the Passport?

I've never seen one of those, and I work next to a Honda dealer.
Nope, it's a Civic 1.8ltr petrol SE built in Swindon UK for the UK/EU market, driven and pictured in Jersey not New Jersey (the original and still the best).

Just got this on Friday.


That's a fantastic looking car mpw! Just wondering what you think of the ride quality? I've read in a few reviews that its a bit tough. What do you think?

My friends dad's is a 2005. He wanted the gray with the red interior but could not find any with it new. In fact, his gray ext with black int had to be shipped up from NJ.

I like the red lettering.

It is azteK mind you. Insults from someone who can't spell don't really phase me.
Naw, I know about 98% of the population thinks its ugly. But its us 2% who like them, and cause them to grow on our friends, and spread the likers. My selling point: once your inside you can't see the outside.

Believe it or not, it doesn't occur to many Americans that there are or ever were places in other parts of the world that our cities that start with "New" were named after. Few know of a York or Jersey or Hampshire or Orleans, etc. In some remote part of Americans' brains, they might have an inkling, but in real awareness terms, those places don't exist.

(I know because I am one)

PS No one thinks of Indians when they mention the state of Indiana.
